Abstract
Basándonos en un estudio de caso econométrico del Grupo Eroski, el objetivo de este trabajo es ver cómo afecta la seguridad en el trabajo en la productividad de la empresa, siendo el tipo de relación con la empresa (societaria, temporal o fijo por contratación ajena) la variable que refleja la seguridad laboral. Para ello se ha trabajado con una muestra de 433 supermercados y 73 hipermercados. Las características de la empresa y de los datos nos han ofrecido la oportunidad única de analizar un caso que cuenta con distintas estructuras jurídicas (sociedades anónimas, cooperativas y Gespa) dentro de un mismo grupo empresarial y con las mismas prácticas de recursos humanos. Los resultados muestran que la seguridad laboral influye positivamente en la productividad. No queda claro si los socios cooperativistas son más productivos que los socios Gespa o los trabajadores indefinidos de las sociedades anónimas, aunque los datos sugieren que los establecimientos bajo la forma jurídica de cooperativa son los más productivos.
Based on an econometric case study of the Eroski Group, the objective of this study is to examine the relationship between job security and organizational productivity. Eroski organizes its operations in three different legal structures (Cooperative, GESPA, Conventional firm). Type of contract, is our proxy for job security. We draw on a sample of 433 supermarkets and 73 hypermarkets, whose legal/organizational characteristics and other data offer a unique opportunity to analyze different legal structures and levels of job security within the same business group and the same human resources practices. Results show that job security is positively related to productivity. It is not clear if Eroski co-op workermembers are more productive than partial employee-owners or non-owner employees with long-term contracts in Eroski’s conventional subsidiaries, though the data do indicate that Eroski cooperatives are more productive than its other legal structures.
