“…Acknowledging the 'erotic' dimension of work in organisations means first and foremost recognising that their existence, and their durability, is only based on the condition that affective relationships are always dependent on access to bodily experience (Deslandes, 2016). While work, and management in particular, suffers from a certain disembodiment (Dujarier, 2017), it is important to remember that every organisation involves a hand-to-hand ('corps-à-corps') relationship with work and its matter -even if this matter is highly abstract, as in the case of a poet, a psychoanalyst or … a manager (Dejours, 2021). The disintegration of affective ties often corresponds to a breakdown in relationships at work, which rapidly disrupts organisations (Deslandes, 2016).…”

How Much Stupidity Do Organisations Need? A Psychodynamic Perspective on Functional Stupidity

How much stupidity do organisations need to function effectively? The paradox coined by management researchers Spicer and Alvesson may seem baffling. According to these authors, organisations require a certain amount of uncritical obedience to function properly. The idea of ‘functional stupidity’ put forward by the authors to account for this phenomenon is no less ambiguous. In addition to overlooking the ethical implications of such a notion, it fails to provide a coherent explanation of its causes in organisations. Our proposal is based on the psychodynamics of work, founded by Christophe Dejours. We focus primarily on the subjective experience of work, which involves the worker’s body, and the way in which a whole theory of moral sense at work emerges from this experience. Adopting the form of an essay, we will support our argument with illustrative vignettes: stupidity will be interpreted here as the exact opposite of what the psychodynamics of work considers to be subjective intelligence at work, that is, ordinary sublimation. In so doing, we propose to extend the scope of the notion of organisational stupidity by adding a phenomenological, clinical and ethical dimension. We conclude by suggesting future avenues for research, through a ‘re-eroticisation’ of work.

“…These changes are also reflected in an economy increasingly based on further enhancing services and new forms of customer-driven pressures (du Tertre, 2013; Durand, 2018;Mercure, 2017). Managers now see their performance revolve around financial targets as the sole organizing dimension of their work, yet their duties involve many other aspects that shape their workplace experiences (de Gaulejac & Hanique, 2019; Dujarier, 2015). This transformative change in the organization of work is spurred by a discernible individualistic culture based on achieving targets and incentive compensation systems (e.g., salary increases, bonuses) (Foster et al, 2019).…”

This article explores the workplace experiences of young professionals during their early integration into management roles and their implications for career development. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study conducted one-on-one interviews with 61 participants. The findings reveal a diverse range of workplace experiences that can either facilitate or complicate the integration process. Notably, the study sheds light on the persistence of gender-related issues in these early career stages. The research offers practical insights for organizations and guidance counselors and underscores the need for further exploration in this field.

“…Les transformations de l'organisation du travail sont aussi accentuées par la culture individualisée d'atteinte d'objectifs et de système de rémunération selon le rendement (Foster et al, 2019;Hassard et Morris, 2022). L'ensemble des transformations de l'organisation du travail et ses renforcements autour de l'objet financier tendent à éclipser les autres dimensions, dont les dimensions humaine et sociale du travail (de Gaulejac et Hanique, 2019;Dujarier, 2015).…”

Depuis les dernières années, la question du leadership des cadres retient l’attention des chercheurs et des professionnels (Alvesson et al., 2017; Leroux et al., 2019; Wainsztok, 2017). L’objectif de cet article est de comprendre les dynamiques relationnelles et les pratiques de gestion des femmes cadres. Cette recherche s’appuie sur une théorie du travail humain afin de saisir les dynamiques relationnelles et les rapports sociaux vécus dans le travail. La méthodologie repose sur un devis de recherche qualitatif à partir de 51 entrevues individuelles avec des femmes cadres. Les résultats révèlent quatre grandes catégories de pratiques de gestion : 1) des relations de proximité avec les équipes et le partage du travail réel; 2) des relations fusionnelles marquées par la sollicitude zélée et le care dévalorisé; 3) la mise à distance des équipes et du travail réel; 4) des rapports de contrôle et de surveillance, et la dictature/tyrannie. La contribution de cet article consiste à montrer la diversité des pratiques de gestion qui peuvent être mobilisées par des femmes cadres, au-delà des débats qui persistent, à savoir si les pratiques de gestion des femmes sont différentes ou similaires à celles des hommes.
