Labour Market and co-operative sector in Italy. This article describes the important role of the co-operative sector in the Italian labour market. We will present original data concerning the dimension of the co-operative sector, its structure and the trend of the productivity among the co-operative firms. The difference between the trend in the employment and in the productivity of co-operative firms and the correspondent data of the Italian economy, in general, gives a good chance to maintain an institutional approach for the study of the labour market and of the economic organization. In this context we will present a brief review of the literature refereed to labour organization, with some interpretations of the difference of the co-operative organisation. In particular, in order to give an explanation of the better performance of the co-operative firms, we will use non main stream models of the labour market, and we will refer to the institutional and legal diversity of the co-operatives, to the motivational factors and to the social capital endowment of the co-operative sector.
Questo articolo descrive il rilevante ruolo del settore cooperativo nel mercato del lavoro italiano. Si presentano dei dati empirici originali sulla dimensione del settore cooperativo, la sua struttura e l’andamento della produttività nelle imprese cooperative. La diversità esistente tra i trend di occupazione e di produttività nelle imprese cooperative e i dati del sistema economico italiano, nel suo complesso, rappresenta un’occasione per sostenere l’utilità di un approccio istituzionale allo studio del mercato del lavoro e dell’organizzazione economica. In questa luce viene condotta una breve rassegna del pensiero economico riferito all’organizzazione del lavoro, e vengono presentate alcune interpretazioni della diversità delle organizzazioni cooperative. In particolare al fine di dare una spiegazione della migliore performance delle imprese cooperative, useremo modelli economici del mercato del lavoro non main stream, che facciano riferimento alla diversità istituzionale e legale delle cooperative, ai fattori motivazionali e alla dotazione di capitale sociale del settore cooperativo.

Abstract
Labour Market and co-operative sector in Italy. This article describes the important role of the co-operative sector in the Italian labour market. We will present original data concerning the dimension of the co-operative sector, its structure and the trend of the productivity among the co-operative firms. The difference between the trend in the employment and in the productivity of co-operative firms and the correspondent data of the Italian economy, in general, gives a good chance to maintain an institutional approach for the study of the labour market and of the economic organization. In this context we will present a brief review of the literature refereed to labour organization, with some interpretations of the difference of the co-operative organisation. In particular, in order to give an explanation of the better performance of the co-operative firms, we will use non main stream models of the labour market, and we will refer to the institutional and legal diversity of the co-operatives, to the motivational factors and to the social capital endowment of the co-operative sector.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
