Abstract

[fre] Comme Saint-Paul [2001] montre que des travailleurs avec des niveaux de productivité proches ont tendance à se retrouver dans les mêmes firmes, on peut s'interroger sur le pouvoir sélectif des mécanismes de rémunération. Le modèle théorique de Lazear [2000] met en avant l'existence à la fois des effets d'incitation et de sélection d'un mode de rémunération indexé sur la performance des employés. Ce modèle a été testé à l'aide de différentes méthodes d'estimation et la majorité d'entre elles supportent les prédictions théoriques. Ce modèle a été étendu à des travaux théoriques et empiriques supportant l'hypothèse d'auto-sélection des travailleurs en fonction de leurs caractéristiques intrinsèques telles que l'aversion au risque, la motivation intrinsèque ou encore les préférences sociales. Enfin, il est montré que l'hétérogénéité de la main-d'œuvre contribue à l'efficience du marché si les travailleurs s'auto-sélectionnent dans différentes organisations. [eng] Compensation and Sorting of the Workforce . As Saint-Paul [2001] shows that workers with closed productivity levels tend to concentrate in same firms, we may question the selective function of compensation schemes. The theoretical model from Lazear [2000] stresses the existence of both incentive and selection effects of a payment scheme based on employees' performance. This model has been tested through different estimation methods and most of them support the theoretical predictions. This model furthermore has been extended to theoretical and empirical works supporting the hypothesis of workers' self-selection depending on their intrinsic characteristics such as risk aversion, intrinsic motivation or social preferences. Finally, it is shown that the heterogeneity of the workforce contributes to the efficiency of the market if workers self-select in different organizations.
