This paper aims at analyzing the relationships between teamwork, autonomy and individual evaluation interviews. Within an agency model with teamwork, we show that a production technology characterized by strong horizontal interdependencies and super-modularity does not ensure coordination within...

Nous explorons d’un point de vue microéconomique, à la fois théoriquement et empiriquement, les liens entre le renouvellement des générations et la dynamique technologique de l’entreprise en tenant compte des asymétries de position qui caractérisent les différentes générations et...

In this paper, we develop a Principal-Agent model with both monetary and non-monetary incentives. We show that the latter are always more efficient, that is Pareto-dominate, monetary incentives. Indeed, we not only show that all what monetary incentives can do, non-monetary incentives can do it...

The French "2010 Household Wealth Survey" includes an experimental module that makes it possible to measure risk aversion in an objective manner. Using this survey, we analyse workers’ attitudes towards financial participation with respect to their attitudes towards risk.

Even if its roots are much older, random sets theory has been considered as an academic area, part of stochastic geometry, since Matheron [7]. Random sets theory was first applied in some fields related to engineering sciences like geology, image analysis and expert systems (see Goutsias et al....

Several papers report a positive effect of financial participation (profit-sharing, employee share ownership) on firms’ economic performance. This increase can be obtained in two main ways: by increasing the effort (extrinsic, intrinsic or commitment) of workers, directly or indirectly through...

Si la problématique de la santé au travail est ancienne dans le débat public, celle du risque psychosocial est plus récente. Elle s’est invitée dans le débat public depuis quelques années, illustrée par quelques exemples qui semblent interroger les choix organisationnels des...
