Abstract
[eng] On the basis of studies carried out on the evolution of labour structures in firms it appears that work fulfils a twofold purpose for the firm : participation in current production, participation in the firm's growth. Each of these objectives corresponds to a specifie group of employees and an analysis of the production process shows that categories can be identified according to function. This is like saying that production is the result of work performed at various stages in time. Integration of such time factors into the economic calculations of the firm brings out the different ways in which the various categories of staff react to the conjuncture : more precisely, in the event of an increase or a decrease in staff, the categories to be taken on or laid off will be selected according to their connection with production in the period in question i.e. according to the function in which they are engaged. [fre] A la suite de l'étude de l'évolution des structures d'emploi dans les entreprises, il apparaît que le travail dans l'entreprise sert un double objectif : participation à la production courante, participation à la croissance de l'entreprise. A chacune de ces fins correspond un groupe de salariés spécifiques et l'analyse du processus de production montre que la distinction des fonctions permet d'identifier ces catégories. Cela revient à dire que la production résulte de prestations en travail effectuées à des moments échelonnés dans le temps. L'intégration de ces délais dans le calcul économique de l'entrepreneur explique les différences de réactions à la conjoncture selon les catégories de salariés : plus précisément, en cas de hausse ou de baisse d'effectif, les catégories à embaucher ou à licencier seront choisies d'après leur lien à la production de la période et donc d'après la fonction à laquelle elles participent.
