人類的勞動力有一些結構的特色，資本主義強將其作為買賣的對象之後，自然帶 來了矛盾的後果。本文特別強調薪資制度在勞動力商品化中的角色。以台灣頗為常見的計件 制為例，本文指出：計件制帶來了特殊的政治及意識型態效果：「做件意識」。由「擬似小 頭家意識」、「純勞動意識」、「虛擬自由意識」及「件工特殊階級意識」所構成的「做件 意識」形塑了勞動者對自已的勞動力和勞動的看法，也形塑了勞動者對自已與雇主、與其他 勞動者間的關係的看法。但在發生爭議，而又有法律介入時，做件意識卻又會發生相當複雜 的轉化。即便是在這種狀況下，做件意識的基調仍未有重大的變化。勞動力是什樣的商品？ 本文提出的答案是：在台灣的計件制運作下，勞動力是一種超級商品，是一種極度商品化的 商品，根本的原因之一是計件制所帶來的政治及意識型態效果。

　　　　　The piece-rate system, prevalent in the garment industry in Taiwan, is not just an economic arrangement that workers exchange their labor power for wage. It also has its political and ideological effects whereby workers'own perceptions of their own labor power are shaped. Also shaped by the piece-rate system are workers'perceptions of their relationship with their employers and the relationship among the employees themselves. With the "pseudo-petty-boss ideology," the "pure-labor consciousness," the "illusion of disguised freedom," the piece-rate workers treat themselves more as quasi-boss than as proletarian. Thus the labor power of Taiwanese workers is "commmodified, all to commodified." The consent to "no work, no money" is a very important dimension in understanding the quiescence of the Taiwanese workers.
