Abstract

The paper sets out to study the influence of restructuring on various enterprises in relation to the employee’s understanding of restructuring. Based on data from the Chinese General Social Survey the article selects the personnel information about the employees working in the state-owned or collective enterprises who experienced the owner-ship reform from state ownership to private owner-ship. Factors such as the transformation of enterprise ownership, enterprises performance before restructuring, the employee’s familiarity and involvement during the process of restructuring and the changes of their benefits are also presented. It is found that public employee’s under-standing would be improved when the employee becomes involved and becomes a part of the public ownership after restructuring, as well as seeing the improvement of welfare benefits. The employee’s working motivation and passion will also play an active role in the employee’s participation in restructuring.
