Résumé anglais Wage Schemes and Labour Relations, by Bénédicte Reynaud. In order to get work of a certain degree of intensity and quality, monetary incentives or hierarchical organization within the firm are two concurrent means that can be used. On the basis of the 1986 survey on the structure of the wages of manual workers of the manufacturing and services sectors, it was shown that this theoretical substituability proves to be true only if wages are calculated with reference to results. Some non-incentive wage systems (without bonuses) are connected with weak hierarchical organizations. Using the concept of work checking as advocated by the radical American school, (R. Edwards), five different capital-labour configurations can be set up: simple checking for both skilled and unskilled labour, Taylorist and Fordist checking and bureaucratic checking. Firms' size, the organization of the work process, and the sectors involved are the main factors explaining why a firm belongs to one or another of these groups.
