Abstract

[eng] Is profit-sharing an incentive to work more? . by Patrick Artus, François Legendre, Pierre Morin.. . This article presents three empirical studies that attempt to assess the impact of profit-sharing on labor productivity. An especially detailed account is given of the study conducted on French data. This study conducted on French data is more completely accounted for. The studies do not examine profit-sharing — as, for example, M. Weitzman does — from a macroeconomic point of view as an activity stabilizer. Rather, profit-sharing is analyzed microeconomically as a work incentive for employees. This approach fits in with theories of the efficiency wage. In particular, the article discusses the need for such collective incentives. [fre] Le partage du profit incite-t-il à travailler plus ? . par Patrick Artus, François Legendre, Pierre Morin.. . Cet article présente, en détaillant plus particulièrement celui mené sur données françaises, trois travaux empiriques qui cherchent, à partir de données individuelles d'entreprises, à apprécier l'impact du partage du profit sur la productivité du travail. Ce mode de rémunération n'est ainsi pas examiné d'un point de vue macroéconomique de stabilisation de l'actiyité, comme le fait par exemple M. Weitzman, mais d'un point de vue microéconomique d'incitation à l'effort au travail des salariés, rejoignant en cela les théories du salaire d'efficience. La nécessité de telles incitations collectives est notamment discutée. [ger] Bietet die Gewinnverteilung einen Anreiz zu erhohter Arbeitsleistung ? . von Patrick Artus, François Legendre, Pierre Morin.. . Dieser Beitrag stellt drei empirische Ansätze vor, die anhand von firmenindiyiduellen Daten yersuchen, die Auswirkung der Gewinnverteilung auf die Arbeitsproduktivität einzuschätzen. Dabei wird die Studie über die französischen Datenerhebungen detaillierter angesprochen. Diese Entlohnungsweise wird also nicht unter dem Gesichtspunkt der makroökonomischen Stabilisierung untersucht, wie zum Beispiel Weitzman vorgeht, sondern unter dem mikroökonomischen Blickwinkel des Anreizes zum optimalen Arbeitseinsatz. Es schließt sich damit den Effizienzlohntheorien an. Unter anderem wird die Notwendigkeit solcher kollektiven Anreize erörtet. [spa] ? Acaso el reparto del beneficio incita a trabajar mas ? . por Patrick Artus, François Legendre, Pierre Morin.. . Este artículo présenta tres trabajos empíricos, exponiéndose con todo detalle en particular el efectuado en base a datos franceses, que pretenden, a partir de datos individuales de empresas, apreciar el impacto del reparto del beneficio sobre la productividad del trabajo. No se examina este modo de remuneración desde un punto de vista macroeconómico de estabilización de la actividad, como la hace por ejemplo M. Weitzman, sino màs bien desde un punto de vista microeconómico de incitación al esfuerzo al trabajo de los asalariados, acercàndose en ello a las teorías del salario de eficiencia. En particular se somete a discusión la necesidad de taies incitaciones colectivas.
