Abstract

The bank payroll of state agents in the DRC helped to contribute to the control of the workforce and the wage bill in a country with continental dimensions, and deprived of financial institutions, except in certain large urban centers and districts. This is a big change, with a clear impact on the national economic and social sphere, achieved without the technical or financial assistance of traditional development partners. This article analyzes this mutation by resorting to the kaleidoscope of BALOGUN, HAILEY and VIARDOT (2005), as well as the five strategies of SERIEYX (1992), apart from a documentary research and a long participant observation. Using this methodological basis, it is shown how the DRC went from a manual pay, late and at the origin of the accumulation of arrears, lack of follow-up and because of the multiplication of intermediaries between the Authorizing Officer and the beneficiary, to a relaxation payroll of state agents and civil servants through its domiciliation in credit institutions and effective management.
