| Abstract
| - This article presents a ‘conventionalist’ approach to rule-directed behavior, emphasizing the interpertive dimesion. The first part presnents a general definition of a rule and typology of rules in order to analyze its consequences for interpretive behavior. The secone part studies the modes of interpretations of rules in relation to collective dynamics and gives emphasis to be tole playee by underdeter minastin. The interpertive framwork is applied to a French maintenance workshop in which a team bonus was introduced in 1991. The paper concludes that (i) all contracts and bence the interpretation requirements are essentially incompletel; (ii) as a consequence thetre is an inevitably imperfect incentive alignment; (iii) the dynamics of interpretation also bring about imperfectly reciprocal behavior and a ‘logic’ of collective action; (iv) interpretation is intertwined with the distribution of team knowledge; and (v) there are two types of links between rules and routines. To interpret a rule is to initiate a learning process and to construct collective knowledge.
