ABSTRACT
If a profit-sharing plan is really to give the worker a stake in profit, it must establish a meaningful relationship between profit, the worker's job and the worker's needs. The specific purpose to which a profit-sharing fund is to be devoted must be determined by the plant community rather than by management's decision what it is the workers want or should want. An obvious use of a profit-sharing fund would be to improve the income guarantee under a predictable income and employment plan. The social interest demands the use of money differentials as the symbols of authority and power in the industrial enterprise. Profit-sharing at this stage not only furnishes the funds for community needs. It provides the catalyst for the satisfaction of the greatest need: the formation of a community.
