Résumé anglais Work Organization, Technology and Performance: An Empirical Study, by Dominique Guellec and Nathalie Greenan. The purpose of this study is to pinpoint the main features and development of the various ways of organizing production in French companies. These methods are then linked to the technologies employed and the firms' performances. The data used come from a survey of employees (1,500 manual employees) and a survey of companies (7,000 firms). The two main organizational variables that differentiate companies are the intensity of communications and the magnitude of work constraints. Econometric estimation suggests that the aim of the organizational innovations is to create conditions for the individual and collective learning of new technologies. Such innovations also appear to enable the firm to adjust better to changing markets through technological innovation and stock reduction.
