“…These included not only technical know-how but also problem-solving and communicative skills. This perspective, which originated in cognitive psychology, became increasingly influential in educational and ergonomic theories and was finally taken up by an influential current of human resource management theory (Oiry, 2003). It argued that there is a considerable gap between the possession of formal knowledge and the capacity for effective work performance.…”

The creation of a learning environment at work has been seen as an essential concomitant of the growth of an advanced economy. This article explores the implications of direct participation for different types of employee learning, drawing upon the British Skills and Employment Surveys of 2006 and 2012. It confirms that direct participation is strongly associated with enhanced learning opportunities at work but finds important differences in the benefits of specific forms of direct participation. Moreover, direct participation was found to be particularly important for those in less favorable work contexts with respect to technological level and skill.

“…At the same time, HRM was evolving a new approach towards managing and forecasting personnel and skill needs or GPEC ( Gestion Prévisionnelle des Emplois et des Compétences ) especially for accompanying organizational transformation (Raoult, 1991). The GPEC approach explicitly recognises human resources as assets producing competitive advantage but in the French context it was also widely argued that HR managers were consciously using individual evaluation as a way of replacing the logic of qualification with the logic of competence (Cavestro and Sonzongni, 1999; Durand, 2000a, b; Lacroix, 1998; Marbach, 1999; Oiry and d'Iribarne, 2001; Pochet, 1999). From this supposition, some made the further deduction that the consequent increase in flexibility might be a risk to job security and contribute to increasing precarious employment (Arnaud and Lauriol, 2002).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this article is to analyse the conceptual approaches to competence and practice in competence management in France.Design/methodology/approachExtensive literature review, discussion with academic experts in the French competence network of AGRH and interviews concerning developments following the 2003 national agreement with officials of the major trade unions and employers' associations.FindingsThe conceptual approach to competence is formally comprehensive and incorporates key dimensions of the other dominant competence models. Extensive academic debate on competence does not appear to be mirrored in practice within establishments. Nevertheless, competence management has been given a major stimulus by recent legislation designed to promote lifelong learning and competence is at the centre of the reform of the training and qualifications systems.Research limitations/implicationsIt is still too early to assess the extent of adoption of competence management overall in the economy but there is increasing evidence that the techniques are becoming diffused throughout the economy from leading edge cases, often larger enterprises, to smaller firms and establishments.Practical implicationsThis paper provides valuable information for practitioners engaging with organisations in France.Originality/valueThis paper gives a summary of the state of the art of competence management in France.

“…D'où leur nombre encore très limité aboutissant à l'introduction complète de la logique compétence (Tallard, 2001, p. 170) ; d'où la multiplication des panachages entre formules mixtes (y compris « grille Parodi rénovée »), l'adoption même de critères classants étant loin d'être généralisée (Dauty, Lemistre, Vincens, 2006, p. 50). Sans compter les débats multiples sur les effets ou non de rupture de la logique compétence (Oiry, d'Iribarne, 2001) et les acrobaties théoriques pour suggérer un nouveau compromis social autour d'un « cercle vertueux qualification-compétence », la première constituant un « potentiel » sur lequel viendrait s'ancrer la seconde (Paradeise, Lichtenberger, 2001). Une chose est sûre, nous ne trouvons pas trace, dans la réalité actuelle, d'un « nouvel échange salarial » (« employabilité contre performance ») annoncé par J.-D. Reynaud (2001), qui viendrait sinon se substituer, du moins enrichir l'usage persistant de grilles standardisées de classification des emplois.…”

P. Trouvé commente l'article de P. Santelmann « Les distorsions diplômes/ qualifications : l'exemple des techniciens et agents de maîtrise de type industriel », paru dans le numéro 105 de Formation Emploi. Le moins que l'on puisse dire est que le thème des dysfonctionnements de la relation formationemploi (ou « diplômes/qualifications »), abordé par Paul Santelmann, ne fait pas partie de ceux qui, dans la longue tradition du Céreq, ont été les plus négligés. En attestent trois livraisons copieuses parmi les plus récentes qui ont tenté, chacune à leur manière, d'illustrer les accumulations de connaissances dans le domaine, et qu'il serait bon de ne pas trop rapidement évacuer avant d'en avoir tiré toutes les leçons, soit :
