Abstract

Trods internationaliseringen af økonomien, liberalisering af markederne og svækkede fagforeningerne, viser en række undersøgelser, at arbejdsgiverforeninger fortsat har tilslutning og indflydelse. Dette paradoks rejser to spørgsmål om arbejdsgiverforeningers funktion i dag: Hvilke arbejdsgivere vælger medlemsskab af arbejdsgiverforeninger? Og hvilken ydelser leverer arbejdsgiverorganisationerne til arbejdsgiverne? Artiklen undersøger disse spørgsmål ved hjælp to omfattende undersøgelser af arbejdsgiverorganisationser i Danmark, som er et typisk eksempel på en koordineret markedsøkonomi. Hovedkonklusionen i analysen er, at kollektive goder, som levers i samarbejde med fagforeninger og regeringen i form af fx kollektive overenskomster, stadig er af stor betydning, men at de individuelle og selektive goder er lige så vigtige for rekruttering og fastholdelse af medlemmer i arbejdsgiverorganisationerne.
