Résumé
This chapter focuses on a set of human resource management (HRM) practices that are concerned with the ways in which employees are organised and incentivised at the point of production, taking its lead from the literature which argues that the use of high-involvement work organisation, incentives, and performance targets will aid productivity and workplace performance. The findings suggest that workplaces in France are more likely than those in Britain to adopt ‘high-performance’ work practices. The use of incentives is associated with higher productivity in both countries, delivering better financial performance in France and higher wages in Britain.
