Abstract EN:
The aim of this work is to compare the subcontracting relationship with the employer employee relationship through the study of the coordination mechanisms wich influence these two types of relationships. Indeed, in both cases, one finds oneself faced with that is called in french an "economie de la qualite" (economy of quality), in other words with a situation in wich questions of quality are involved and where there exists a relative uncertainty concerning the effort wich will be made by the employee or the subcontractor to meet the demand for quality. The text raises the question of wether or not it is possible to validate the explicit and implicite promises written into the contracts governing employment and subcontracting. Since the latter prove to be incomplete, the author analyses the underlying mechanisms brought into play in the establishing of an agreement between the parties involved in transactions of these types. This process relies, on the one hand, on a authority relation, and on the other hand, on a trust relation.
Abstract FR:
La these se propose d'effectuer un rapprochement entre relation de sous-traitance et relation d'emploi, a travers l'etude des mecanismes de coordination qui gouvernent ces deux types de relation. En effet, dans les deux cas, nous nous trouvons confronte a une "economie de la qualite", en situation d'incertitude sur l'effort du salarie et du sous-traitant. Le texte s'interroge ainsi sur la possibilite de valider les promesses explicites et implicites inscrites dans le contrat de travail et le contrat de sous-traitance. Ces derniers se revelant incomplets, l'auteur analyse les mecanismes sous-jacents au contrat qui interviennent dans la production de l'accord entre les "transactants". Cette production repose, d'une part, sur une relation d'autorite, et, d'autre part, sur une relation de confiance.
