Abstract: | In most firms, wages, responsibilities and the independence of workers are positively correlated. Most workers prefer independent jobs for many reasons. The paper concentrates on the aspect that independence strenghtens a worker's bargaining position in individual wage negotiations. This is pivotal for explaining why workers in independent, responsible jobs are willing to invest in their jobs even if there in no reliable, formalized system of rewarding them. |
