產業民主是一個勞資共同制定決策的過程，集體協商和勞工參與是其主要的機制。本文發現臺灣在短期間內不可能快速轉變至產業民主，政府規範模式仍是僱用關係中的重要轉化機制。臺灣產業民主的發展繫於勞、資、政三方的互動，但是企盼雇主自願地推行產業民主並不實際。臺灣的勞工應該採取集體協商的政治理論，首先必需團結起來，當勞工有意願並彰顯團結的力量，參與和民主自然有發展的可能。臺灣產業民主的前景與政府的態度和作法密切關聯，假如政府提供更多促進集體協商與勞工參與的集體勞動法，未來臺灣的僱用關係比較可能從政府規範轉向產業民主。

　　　　　According to the industrial relations systems approach, there are several conversion mechanisms adapted by any of the industrial relations system. This paper attempts to explore whether there is a transformation of mechanisms from government regulation to industrial democracy in Taiwanese employment relations. There is a demand from the workers to have more industrial democracy in the workplace. The employers' responses and government policies are two important factors to determine the direction and the progress of the industrial democracy in Taiwan. There is still strong resistance from the management toward industrial democracy at the plant or enterprise levels. The burden is on the workers and government side. The workers better believe in the "political theory" of collective bargaining and organizing together as the first step. When Taiwanese workers have the will and solidarity, there will be a way toward participation and democracy. If the government provides more collective labor laws on the protection of union organization and promotion of labor participation, it is optimistic to see more industrial democracy.
