abstract: 'Recent years have shown rapid and profound changes in work organization
|
||||
|
||||
and job content, materialized in new schemes of economic and labor
|
||||
|
||||
nature, such as the increasingly common outsourcing or subcontracting of
|
||||
|
||||
workforce. This trend has contributed to the emergence of dependent
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed workers, who perform their work responsibilities in a
|
||||
|
||||
``gray area{''''} between paid and self-employment. The concept of
|
||||
|
||||
``dependent self-employed{''''} has also been used to label several labor
|
||||
|
||||
practices or new forms of precarious freelance or professional
|
||||
|
||||
activities, and although the terminology may vary, it is a clear and
|
||||
|
||||
well-known reality in Europe. Despite this fact, there seems to be
|
||||
|
||||
little empirical evidence about its specific characteristics and
|
||||
|
||||
nuances.
|
||||
|
||||
The present work aims to study the main labor characteristics of
|
||||
|
||||
dependent self-employed workers-individuals with civil or commercial
|
||||
|
||||
contracts who perform their economic activities depending on or
|
||||
|
||||
integrated into the company they work for-in the current context of the
|
||||
|
||||
European Union; to this end, a comparative analysis is conducted to
|
||||
|
||||
differentiate or associate the profiles of three collectives: salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees, and dependent and traditional self-employed workers.
|
||||
|
||||
Additionally, working conditions of the three groups considered are
|
||||
|
||||
examined in order to show the specific particularities between them.
|
||||
|
||||
The initial premise is intended to face the two groups of self-employed
|
||||
|
||||
workers to elucidate whether such advantages remain or disappear for
|
||||
|
||||
dependent self-employed subjects. After an initial bivariate analysis,
|
||||
|
||||
the working conditions of the three groups under investigation have been
|
||||
|
||||
compared in pairs: salaried employees, and dependents (false)
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed and and non-dependent (traditional) self-employed workers.
|
||||
|
||||
The statistical approach used to fulfill the objectives of this work is
|
||||
|
||||
based on the binary logistic regression model, a particular regression
|
||||
|
||||
models with dichotomous response. This statistical technique allows the
|
||||
|
||||
development of a logit model to study the probability of the occurrence
|
||||
|
||||
of an investigated event -e.g. being part of the autonomous
|
||||
|
||||
collective-versus the probability of occurrence of the opposite event
|
||||
|
||||
-e.g. being hire as a salaried employee-, according to a set of
|
||||
|
||||
variables that bibliographic review has identified as related to the
|
||||
|
||||
phenomenon under analysis: individual characteristics, organizational
|
||||
|
||||
factors, and attitudinal variables.
|
||||
|
||||
It had been used a sample of 2409 subjects has been obtained from the
|
||||
|
||||
fifth European Survey on Working Conditions and broken down into three
|
||||
|
||||
groups: dependent self-employed, independent self-employed, and salaried
|
||||
|
||||
workers. The results point out that there is a common core in terms of
|
||||
|
||||
those factors that discriminate between self-employed workers and
|
||||
|
||||
jobholders; however, there are some nuances that distinguish and define
|
||||
|
||||
each group of self-employed individuals with regard to salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees. In comparison to wage employment, self-employment presents
|
||||
|
||||
more precarious extrinsic working conditions - kind of working day, type
|
||||
|
||||
of economic activity, level of income, etc.- which are compensated, to
|
||||
|
||||
some extent, by certain elements of intrinsic reward such as greater
|
||||
|
||||
flexibility or the content of work itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Three logistic regression models are proposed to identify the profile of
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed subjects both false and traditional-from salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees, as well as to compare the working conditions of self-employed
|
||||
|
||||
workers with each other. So first, we confront the two types of
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed workers with salaried employees. When comparing both, it
|
||||
|
||||
is observed that there is a common core with regard to the factors that
|
||||
|
||||
differentiate between the self-employed workers and salaried employees:
|
||||
|
||||
among the former, part-time occupations are more frequent, which does
|
||||
|
||||
not prevent them from working more hours a week, even at weekend,
|
||||
|
||||
although they enjoy more flexibility in deciding their working schedule;
|
||||
|
||||
they are also less likely to work in shifts and have greater autonomy
|
||||
|
||||
over the content of their economic activities compared to salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees. Finally, agricultural work is more common among self-employed
|
||||
|
||||
people, as well as receiving lower remunerations.
|
||||
|
||||
The weekly work hours of false self-employed subjects are higher than
|
||||
|
||||
those of the salaried job-holders, while they are more likely to be
|
||||
|
||||
forced to work on the weekend and less to do shift works. In addition,
|
||||
|
||||
the probability for a false self-employed subject to earn below average
|
||||
|
||||
income is almost triple than that of a salaried employee. This
|
||||
|
||||
vulnerable position is partly amended by the presence of other elements
|
||||
|
||||
of intrinsic compensation that dependent self-employed workers - in
|
||||
|
||||
contrast to wage jobholders-enjoy, such as more flexibility in deciding
|
||||
|
||||
their working hours or a greater autonomy over the content of their
|
||||
|
||||
occupational activity. These workers provide their services more
|
||||
|
||||
frequently in the construction and, above all, agricultural sector.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, despite the precariousness of their working conditions, false
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed people are much more involved with their occupations than
|
||||
|
||||
those employed by others. All these results are significant at the 1\%
|
||||
|
||||
level; for this level of significance, the logistic regression model
|
||||
|
||||
indicates that the rest of the variables, that have independently showed
|
||||
|
||||
a significant relationship with the type of work, no longer bear it when
|
||||
|
||||
it comes to evaluating its overall impact.
|
||||
|
||||
Besides that, we compare non-dependent self-employed subjects with
|
||||
|
||||
salaried employees, incorporates two personal variables so that the
|
||||
|
||||
former are more likely to be older men than the latter. As regards
|
||||
|
||||
working conditions, non-dependent self-employed people work more
|
||||
|
||||
part-time, as well as many more hours a week and even at weekends, which
|
||||
|
||||
is associated with lower monthly incomes than those paid to salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees. Model 3 establishes a comparison between the two types of
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed workers. The profile of a false self-employed subject
|
||||
|
||||
happens to be a woman who performs a ``blue-collar{''''} job for a smaller
|
||||
|
||||
number of hours per week than that completed by the non-dependent
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed ones, and with a lower income as well. What is more, the
|
||||
|
||||
component of time flexibility and autonomy over the occupational
|
||||
|
||||
activities disappears among the false self-employed people when
|
||||
|
||||
comparing to the rest of self-employed workers. Similarly, the
|
||||
|
||||
probability for a dependent self-employed subject to work in the
|
||||
|
||||
agriculture sector is more than double than that of a non-dependent
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed one. Despite the situation, the only actitudinal variable
|
||||
|
||||
that differentiates both groups is the lower degree of job stress shown
|
||||
|
||||
by false self-employed people. False self-employed workers constitute a
|
||||
|
||||
collective of great interest to the labor market. Many companies began
|
||||
|
||||
to resort to this figure in the hardest years of the crisis, justifying
|
||||
|
||||
it as a lesser evil. However, some of these firms have ended up
|
||||
|
||||
implementing this kind of external recruitement as a regular practice; a
|
||||
|
||||
labor strategy oriented towards saving costs. More often than desirable,
|
||||
|
||||
false self-employed workers perform the same activity as their peers
|
||||
|
||||
with contracts, but lack the rights stated in the labor law for salaried
|
||||
|
||||
employees. In spite of this circumstance, empirical research on
|
||||
|
||||
dependent self-employed people is very limited given the opacity that
|
||||
|
||||
characterizes the collective. On the one hand, problems of conceptual
|
||||
|
||||
precision make it difficult to discern in some instances who or who is
|
||||
|
||||
not a false self-employed subject. On the other hand, the very situation
|
||||
|
||||
of vulnerability in which these people find themselves causes
|
||||
|
||||
complications for a researcher to obtain reliable and unbiased
|
||||
|
||||
information. Nonetheless, it is less common for non-dependent
|
||||
|
||||
self-employed to work shift or night shift. In spite of this
|
||||
|
||||
circumstance, empirical research on dependent self-employed people is
|
||||
|
||||
very limited given the opacity that characterizes the collective.
|
||||
|
||||
Problems of conceptual precision make it difficult to discern in some
|
||||
|
||||
instances who or who is not a false self-employed subject and the very
|
||||
|
||||
situation of vulnerability in which these people find themselves causes
|
||||
|
||||
complications for a researcher to obtain reliable and unbiased
|
||||
|
||||
information. Managerial changes have to be focused on the individuals
|
||||
|
||||
and the values that might help them progress to a new organizational
|
||||
|
||||
culture where the delegation of authority, open communication systems,
|
||||
|
||||
participation, collaboration, and continuous learning - among
|
||||
|
||||
others-prevail. This ideal scenario is clouded by the use of
|
||||
|
||||
outsourcing, sometimes even fraudulent, as an instrument to circumvent
|
||||
|
||||
conventional and legal employment contracts. The paradox is that other
|
||||
|
||||
forces could unbalance the alleged savings attributable to the use of
|
||||
|
||||
these new forms of work organization.
|
||||
|
||||
By incorporating new rules to the occupational arena, which smear the
|
||||
|
||||
organizational board where labor relations within the company are
|
||||
|
||||
settled, the virus of distrust is inoculated among workers, both those
|
||||
|
||||
who are subjected to the coercion of dependent self-employment and those
|
||||
|
||||
who remain in the company being suspicious that they can be selected and
|
||||
|
||||
reorganized as well at any time. This process irreversibly contaminates
|
||||
|
||||
the values on which workers sustain their daily behavior, affecting in
|
||||
|
||||
one way or another the business competitiveness.'
