Contratación de la mano de obra y desempeño en los servicios intensivos en conocimiento: una visión del capital intelectual

Abstract

Objeto: El desempeño de las actividades de servicios de alto valor añadido ofrecidos por las empresas manufactureras, de la misma forma que el de los servicios intensivos en conocimiento, puede verse afectado por las formas de contratación de la mano de obra utilizadas en ellas. Se estudia el impacto del uso de trabajo contingente (temporal y autónomo) sobre la productividad del trabajo en las empresas de servicios intensivos en conocimiento. Para desarrollar las hipótesis, se tiene en cuenta el impacto potencial del trabajo contingente sobre el capital intangible de la empresa, así como los resultados de la literatura empírica. Diseño/metodología: Se analizan los datos de una muestra de 279 empresas de servicios intensivos en conocimiento localizadas en Cataluña, mediante dos modelos de regresión lineal. Aportaciones y resultados: Los resultados muestran que el empleo de formas de trabajo contingentes, como el trabajo temporal y los trabajadores autónomos, tiene un impacto negativo en la productividad del trabajo. No existe, en cambio, una relación cuadrática entre estas variables. Limitaciones: La muestra utilizada procede exclusivamente de Cataluña (España), no es perfectamente extrapolable al conjunto de empresas de servicios intensivos en conocimiento y se obtuvo en la fase alcista del ciclo económico. El diseño del estudio es transversal. La clasificación de las empresas como intensivas en conocimiento es dicotómica, en función del sector al que pertenecen. Implicaciones prácticas: Las decisiones sobre la contratación de mano de obra en actividades de servicios de alto valor añadido deberían minimizar las formas de trabajo contingentes, si quieren mejorar su productividad. Implicaciones sociales: Un modelo productivo que pretenda potenciar los servicios de mayor valor añadido no puede descansar sobre la base de un mercado laboral en el que las empresas utilizan una elevada proporción de trabajo contingente en su mano de obra. Valor añadido: Este artículo ofrece nuevos datos para a la escasa literatura que relaciona el uso de trabajo contingente con la productividad en el sector de los servicios intensivos en conocimiento. La creciente importancia de los servicios de alto valor añadido, tanto en empresas de servicios como manufactureras, y el interés por conocer los determinantes de su productividad justifican la necesidad de realizar estudios como el que se presenta.

Purpose: The performance of service activities with high added value, offered by manufacturing companies, in the same way as those of knowledge-intensive services can be affected by the hiring of labor used in them. We study the impact of the use of contingent work (temporary and autonomous) on labor productivity in knowledge-intensive services. To develop hypotheses, the potential impact of contingent work on the intangible capital of the company, as well as the results of the empirical literature are taken into account. Design/methodology/approach: Data from a sample of 279 companies in knowledge-intensive services located in Catalonia are analyzed with two linear regression models. Findings: The results show that the use of contingent forms of employment, such as temporary employment and self-employed, have a negative impact on labor productivity. However, there is no quadratic relationship between these variables. Research limitations: The sample used comes exclusively from Catalonia (Spain), it is not perfectly extrapolated to all businesses with knowledge-intensive services and was obtained during the raising phase of the economic cycle. The design of the study is cross-section. The classification of knowledge-intensive companies is dichotomous, based on the sector they belong to. Practical implications: Decisions on hiring labor in services with high added value should minimize contingent forms of work, if they want to improve their productivity. Social implications: A production model that seeks to enhance the services added value services cannot rest on the basis of a labor market in which firms use a highproportion of contingent labor in its workforce. Originality/value: This study offers new data to the scant literature that links the use of contingent labor with productivity in the sector of knowledge-intensive services. The growing importance of high-value-added services, both in services and manufacturing companies, and the interest to know the determinants of their productivity justify the need for studies like the one presented.

Objecte: L'exercici de les activitats de serveis d'alt valor afegit oferts per les empreses manufactureres, de la mateixa manera que el dels serveis intensius en coneixement, es pot veure afectat per les formes de contractació de la mà d'obra utilitzades en elles. S'estudia l'impacte de l'ús de treball contingent (temporal i autònom) sobre la productivitat del treball en les empreses de serveis intensius en coneixement. Per desenvolupar les hipòtesis, es té en compte l'impacte potencial del treball contingent sobre el capital intangible de l'empresa, així com els resultats de la literatura empírica.
