本文讨论了劳动法文献中有关标准雇佣关系的两个问题：它是否加剧了不平等？它的衰落是不可避免的吗？重点是第二个问题，并强调标准雇佣关系在多大程度上嵌入到一个制度整体中，以及该制度整体的结果，而这个制度整体是在工业化民主国家的战后资本与劳动力妥协中形成的。分析分三步进行。第一个是概念性的，强调劳动力作为虚构商品的独特性质，以及在劳动力市场制度化的任何尝试中反复出现的监管困境。第二步将雇佣关系历史化和情境化，强调政治和冲突（权力资源理论）而不是理性选择和协调（新制度经济学）作为其制度化的基础。对政治、权力和劳动力的强调引出了第三步，重点是金融化的广泛进程如何影响三个关键机构——大型制造公司、民主福利国家和自治工会——这些机构对于标准雇佣关系的发展至关重要。
This article addresses two questions about the standard employment relationship that have become prominent in labour law literature: Does it exacerbate inequality? Is its decline inevitable? The focus is on the second question and emphasizes the extent to which the standard employment relationship was both embedded in, and the outcome of, an institutional ensemble that was fashioned out of the post-war capital–labour compromise in industrialized democracies. The analysis proceeds in three steps. The first is conceptual and stresses the distinctive nature of labour as a fictive commodity, and the recurring regulatory dilemmas that arise in any attempt to institutionalize a labour market. The second step historicizes and contextualizes the employment relationship, emphasizing politics and conflict (power resource theory) over rational choice and coordination (new institutional economics) as the basis for its institutionalization. The emphasis on politics, power and labour leads to the third step, which focuses on how the broad process of financialization influences three key institutions – the large manufacturing firm, the democratic welfare state and autonomous trade unions – that have been crucial for the development of the standard employment relationship.
