Tiivistelmä: | This article identifies four control mechanisms on the shopfloor and explains their determinants. Data from 329 Spanish firms in the food and electronic industries show that shopfloor control is shaped by efficiency concerns, power asymmetries and interdependences between control modes. Control mechanisms depend on several structural traits of the firm and labour transaction attributes. However, managera' opportunism also plays an important role through its effect on workers' opportunism. This fact calls for the internalization of principals' opportunistic behaviour in efficiency-driven organisational theories. |
