Summary/Abstract: Th e article tentatively discusses representing the interests of employees and employers in Poland from the perspective of analytical sociology. In the fi rst part of the article, particular attention was devoted to social mechanisms as tools used to explain social reality and to the role played in the social mechanisms by institutions. Th e article also discusses selected issues related to the interest representation of employees and employers that constitute the so-called infl uence-production process: mobilizing for action, competition, infl uencing and evaluation of the eff ects of actions. In conclusion, the author states a need to explain these issues through the implementation of the basic assumption of analytical sociology: the study of social mechanisms.
