Abstract: Employees are under a domination based on their dependency to the salary. How is this domination orchestrated? This article attempts to analyse salarial subordination using the Spinozist distinction between power over (pouvoir) and potential (puissance). For Spinoza, power overis appropriation (capture) of potentiality. Drawing on the concept of capture applied to management and the workforce, we highlight three tools of capture in a critical perspective of managerial control : direct capture through surveillance, indirect capture through arrangements and internalized capture through the manufacture of consent.
