Abstract: In this article, we study the organizational structure of cooperatives (Jensen and Meckling, 1992) and particularly how pay incentives may encourage employees to adopt their firm's strategy. Based on the findings of a field study, we can assert that salaries play a minor role in cooperatives, even though these structures still perform well and efficiently in a period of economic crisis. The organizational structure theory allows to conclude that pay incentives are not effective in cooperatives whereas delegation is a strong pillar. As for control, it remains diversely used and even rarely claimed by managers. Complementary approaches are used to identify new ways of understanding the cooperatives' institutional complexity.
