Organizational design and technology choice under intrafirm bargaining

Article Abstract:

Companies with nonbinding labor contracts, or employment-at-will firms are likely to engage in wage negotiations any time. Under this type of contract the employer is not bound to pay a future wage and employees are not bound to render services. The employer provides capital based on the average inframarginal productivity. It is determined that these companies tend to be overemployed and their capital not fully utilized. This happens because groups with power to control payment of wages tend to create additional positions to maintain power.
