Summary/Abstract: The article prompts to debate on research of the phenomena related to interest representation in the Polish labour market. The first part gathers and puts in order the necessary information on the concept of interest representation, models of systems of interest representation, as well as theoretical approaches used to study this phenomenon in Poland and worldwide. The second part presents the main features of the contemporary system of interest representation in Poland, while locating it in the institutional environment of labour market. Certain phenomena referred to in this part of the text induce us, in the author’s opinion, to inquire into the state of the system of interest representation in Poland. The third part of the article offers some research questions posed from the so-called “neopluralist perspective”, which can be treated as a research tool which makes it easier to conceptualize the study on systems of interest representation and indicates an attractive research direction.
