In free markets the common interest of all participants is in monetary price and gain. Workers typically have little interest in the work they do or in the way they do it. They do what is necessary to maximise income. Price and profit are the measures of success, with efficiency defined by the minimisation of price in the production of a particular good or service. Workers generally have little job security.
Actions are more constrained in a bureaucratic labour market.
The incentives and values are different. The emphasis of those in charge is on reliability and predictability in the production of specified goods and services. Prices are specified for goods and services of standardised quality. Workers compete for jobs on the basis of qualifications and relevant experience, and can gain a measure of job security. In professional labour markets the choice of workers by both consumers and employers is limited by occupational regulation.
