“…Sur le plan méthodologique, notre travail s'inscrit dans une approche mixte entre méthodologies qualitative et quantitative et, donc, dans un entre-deux entre une approche quantifiée (Brousse, 2015;DARES, 2015;Sautory et Zilloniz, 2015) et une approche plus individualisée de la charge de travail ou des RPS (Dumond, 2007;Molinier et Flottes, 2012;Rossano, Abord de Chatillon et Desmarais, 2015). De plus, ce matériau mixte constitue une triangulation des données qui doit permettre d'appréhender un phénomène sous différents aspects (Groulx, 1997;Roupnel-Fuentes, 2011).…”

La charge de travail perçue des cadres : d’une typologie à une compréhension systémique

La charge de travail des cadres est un phénomène bien documenté : la littérature sur le sujet souligne, entre autres, l’intensification du travail des cadres, ainsi que les effets des réorganisations sur cette intensification. Une étude de cas dans une administration ayant vécu une réorganisation, confrontée à la menace de l’ouverture à la concurrence et caractérisée par un modèle corporatiste, illustre ces points, tout en les accompagnant d’un constat qui incite à approfondir l’analyse. En effet, une première analyse quantitative descriptive révèle que la charge de travail, et surtout le travail « inintéressant », vont croissant quand on s’élève dans la hiérarchie, phénomène qui peut sembler à prime abord étonnant. Une enquête approfondie, qui combine approches quantitative et qualitative, et qui s’inscrit dans le cadre théorique de l’analyse systémique des organisations, permet alors de montrer en quoi la charge de travail est le fruit de facteurs variés. Ceux-ci peuvent être liés à l’ouverture à la concurrence, à la mise en place d’un système de reddition de compte contraignant, mais également à des stratégies mises en place par les différents acteurs afin de gérer leur travail en fonction des ressources à leur disposition et de leur position dans le système. Une typologie nous a conduite à identifier quatre groupes de cadres caractérisés par des perceptions et des stratégies homogènes relatives à la charge de travail. L’analyse systémique permet, ensuite, de comprendre ces stratégies à l’aune du système de l’établissement. Finalement, cette enquête souligne la structuration systémique de la charge de travail des cadres, tout comme l’intérêt d’une méthodologie mixte pour l’appréhender.

“…The psychoanalytic theories on group dynamics show that, in order to defend themselves from fears related to occupational risks, the groups constitute themselves on an unconscious series of reciprocal tests. This is called the work defensive ideology [24]. This clinical case does not make it possible to know how the divers will react in the long run.…”

Can a transgender person be an occupational diver? Demonstration from a case report

This is the first case report about a transgender professional diver. The purpose of this article is to show the professional adaptations to help him to continue occupational dive and to raise the question of the impact on diving risks of hormonal treatment in this case. He was a 39-year-old man when he began his transition. He had worked as a diver for 9 years before his transition. When he changed to look like a woman, there were a few difficulties in continuing his professional activity. The main difficulty was that he looked like a woman while working with men. Modesty was a crucial issue in the enterprise. There were other problems such as the organisation of premises, the physical workload and the interaction between treatments and diving. There is a lack of a law to guide the employer. French legislation does not address the issue of transsexuals for this profession. The medical recommendations do not specify contraindications or adaptations for diving safely. Because of his transition, he lost muscle mass. The occupational physician helped to adjust his activity: decreasing the weight of his diving suit, creating a female-like locker room etc. Finally, the question of the risk of decompression illness arose. Legal hormonal medication seems not to significantly increase the risk of decompression illness, but this diver was taking illicit treatment to speed up the transition. The occupational physician recommended taking the legal hormonal medication.

“…), paradoxical requirements (typically setting unrealistic targets without giving the qualitative and quantitative means to achieve them), isolation tactics, and so on. This type of work organization and the deterioration of work conditions resulting from it are widespread worldwide (Molinier and Flottes, 2006; Aucouturier, 2006). Its underlying philosophy, as Albert J. Dunlap, a big name in industry restructuring, once said, is: ‘If you want to be liked, get a dog.…”

This article studies the chronic and acute anomic social impacts of the development of market societies in Europe over past decades. Focusing on the firm but linking micro and macro levels, it argues that the passage from the Welfare State to disembedded markets and neoliberal governance has generated individual and collective anomie by depriving social actors of agency and voice while caging them in the disciplinary constraints of an ideal competition society. Promoted by public and private governors animated by visions of managerial omnipotence, this reconfiguration has hollowed out the cluster of rights that founded democratic and social citizenship in Europe. The article discusses the manifestations of anomie, stressing the violence flowing from the radical uncertainty to which atomized employees and more broadly citizens are confronted in the face of the reification of collective goals, which have been reduced to participation in market society. Drawing on the classical literature (Durkheim, Parsons, Merton) but expanding upon it, the paper examines exit solutions, at individual and collective levels, involving violence against the self (suicide) and others (mobbing, xenophobia, fascism), and concludes that Europe seems to be heading towards a protracted period of danger laden chronic and acute anomie.
