Abstract

Cette etude fait partie d' une serie de documents de recherche traitant de la facon dont l'adoption de la technologie influe sur les competences des travailleurs. Dans des documents anterieurs, nous avons aborde la question sous differents angles au moyen de donnees puisees a une diversite de sources. A l'aide de donnees sur les strategies et les activites des petites et moyennes entreprises appartenant au secteur tant secondaire que tertiaire, Baldwin et Johnson (1995), Baldwin, Johnson et Pedersen (1996) s'attachent au lien entre les diverses strategies appliqueespar les entreprises en croissance. Ils constatent que celles qui mettent l'accent sur les competences technologiques privilegient d'autant les activites de formation et de perfectionnement professionnels. Au moyen de donnees d'enquete sur la nature des techniques utilisees dans les etablissements de fabrication, ainsi que sur la perception qu'a la direction de ces etablissements des besoins en competences et des frais de formation professionnelle afferents a l'adoption de nouvelles technologies, Baldwin, Gray et Johnson (1995) concluent que l'exploitation de la technologie augmente ces besoins et les activites et les couts de formation. Dans ce document, nous nous servons de donnees d'enquete sur l'incidence de l'adoption de techniques de pointe et de donnees-panel correspondantes sur des caracteristiques des etablissements comme les salaires, l'intensite capitalistique et la taille afin de degager le lien entre le recours a la technologie et les taux de salaire pratiques. Comme l'accroissement des competences est lie a une hausse des salaires, l'etablissement d'un rapport entre ce recours et la remuneration vient corroborer les constatations anterieures.
