本研究以廣州市中大布匹市場周邊聚集的小型制衣廠為例，探討非正式就業中的勞動控制問題。延續布洛維"趕工游戲"的思路，本研究將非正式就業的制衣工人在不受保護的勞動狀態中仍然努力工作的原因歸結為"老板游戲"的存在。一方面，"人人當老板"的實踐和觀念模糊了工人與老板的界限，使得即使再苦再累的工作也可視為當老板必要的"原始積累";另一方面，"個個來管理"模糊了工人和管理者的界限，有助于工人了解市場行情和行業規則，實現從工人到師傅再到老板的躍升。"老板游戲"的提出在兩個維度上拓展了既往關于工作場所游戲的研究。它既帶入了工作場所外的影響因素，也刻畫了工人與管理者和老板界限的模糊性。我們認為，雖然小型制衣廠不存在內部勞動力市場，但是存在一個范圍更廣、空間更大的行業內部勞動力市場，這為超越工廠體制，構建行業體制或部門體制等概念提供了可能。

This study explored the labor control mechanism in the informal employment based on the fieldwork of small garment factories gathered around Zhongda Textile and Garments District in Guangzhou.Following Michael Burawoy’s concept of "the game of making out"，this article proposed a different game beyond the workplace: "the game of boss".This construct illuminated why the informal garment workers still working hard even under unprotected workplaces.On the one hand，the practice and idea of "everyone can become a boss" blurred the boundaries between workers and bosses，so that hard work could be considered as the necessary " primitive accumulation of capital".On the other hand， "everyone can become a manager" obscured the distinction between workers and managers，which helped workers understanding the market situation and industry rules gradually and then assisted them jump from workers to masters and finally，to bosses. "The game of boss" expanded previous researches about workplace games in two dimensions.It brought external factors back in the workplace while discovering the deepening ambiguity between workers and managers or bosses.Though there is no internal labor market in small garment factories，there is another one within the garment industry or the informal sector，which is broader and bigger.This finding urges labor scholars to rethink Burawoy’s "factory regime" and build new concepts，such as "industry regime" or "sector regime".
