Henky, Mathilde. "(Dé)matérialiser l'Etat social. Les conseillères à l'emploi, les travailleuses sociales et les chômeur.ses face à la dématérialisation des services publics de l'emploi." Electronic Thesis or Diss., Université Paris sciences et lettres, 2024. http://www.theses.fr/2024UPSLD016.
Full textBetween 2011 and 2022, dematerialization was the subject of numerous communications from public authorities. Becoming the default policy of the New Public Management strategy, it would - according to reformers - simplify work, improve the quality of public service and keep the public expenditure under control. Based on this subject of study, the thesis aims at understanding how public employment services deployed the dematerialization in their administrations and the consequences on labour organization. For this purpose, the thesis is focusing on Pôle Emploi and social services, showing that dematerialization is not just a management tool, but also a key driver for activation policy purposes. Drawing on an ethnographic survey of job counsellors, social workers and unemployed people, the thesis highlights that the dematerialization technology introduction into the workplace/workspace is reconfiguring the labor division between professionals and the unemployed, but also between professional groups working in local agencies. Standing on either side of the counter, we show that workers and the unemployed people free themselves from certain tasks and each make an autonomous use of the rule, initially aimed at making them active in a context of strengthening activation policies. Focusing more specifically on professionals, the thesis demonstrates finally that, despite competing standards of professionalism which structure their conceptions of work, employment counselors and social workers are embracing dematerialization process

Full textThis thesis deals with continuing vocational training (CVT) for farmers. The choice has been made to resort to Anglo-Saxon and French sociological concepts and notions when linked to occupations, professional groups and continued professionalization. Farmers have been given a mandate stemming from public policy and social demand: food self-sufficiency, coupled with today's greater need for food security and respect for the environment. Farmers therefore constitute a professional group whose occupation is constantly evolving.The agricultural professional bodies, by means of complex relationships forged with the governing bodies, have engaged themselves in the dynamics of professionalization of farmers through questions about job access, professional knowledge and skills.This thesis questions the idea that farmers constitute a changing professional group, whose identity composition appears complex, fragmented and evolving. Intellectualization and entrepreneurship are becoming major dimensions of the occupation which the group must adapt to. It is shown that the possession of a licence granted by public authorities offers farmers different uses of the CVT provided. This differentiation brings about the emergence of multiple and complex identities while emphasizing the entrepreneurial aspect at the heart of the dynamics of reprofessionalization.It is the analysis of the mechanisms between the professionalization processes, the construction of professional identities of farmers and the use of training that is at the heart of the obtained results

Full textThe private Catholic school system, unlike the public one, gave the primary school Head teachers, the status of primary school Headmasters, by assigning them greater responsibilities. A professional title listed on the National Register of Professional Certifications (RNCP) (2015) validates their initial training. It took nearly forty years to move from the recognition of a teacher in charge of the direction of a school (1976) to the creation of the position of Headmaster (2006-2010). The evolution went on progressively supported by issues of several institutional and legislative texts. Our dissertation aims at understanding how these institutional changes impacted the Headmasters’ identity dynamics over those forty years. Professional development is part of a social time that is why the processing of the material collected as comprehensive/biographical interviews is based on a compound method of analysis that used what has been called “sets of professional and training temporalities”. This method derives from the concept of “set of historicity” borrowed from the philosophy of history. A corpus of twelve interviews has been processed with this method. This inductive approach (grounded theory) leads to the creation of a typology of the identity forms of the primary school Headmasters according to a set of professional and training temporalities and it also expresses their different identity dynamics. The whole study is part of a comprehensive and phenomenological approach of the professional development of these primary school Headmasters which should be considered here as the emergence of a new professional group.Keywords: Professional development – professional group – Headmaster – professional identity – professional dynamics – identity dynamics – sets of historicity – social temporalities – sets of professional and training temporalities

Full textAgainst a backdrop of crisis in cultural prescription, this thesis analyzes a professional group of public service cultural intermediaries, the music programmers at Radio France. Faced with the loss of audience for music radio stations, competition from streaming platforms and the introduction of digital technologies into the professional practices of music programming at Radio France, how are the boundaries of a public service professional group evolving ? Subjected to public service missions that give them an a priori singular role in the radio space - and more broadly in the cultural space - the study of the professional practices of Radio France's music programmers constitutes a fertile field of research for understanding the mutations of music prescription as well as the contemporary stakes of public service radio. From an interactionist perspective and with an inductive and comprehensive methodological approach, this work is based on an analysis of the "narratives of practice" of music programmers delivered in interviews, but also on interviews conducted with other professional groups involved in music programming at Radio France. Conducted between 2016 and the beginning of 2020, these interviews are complemented by the analysis of a corpus of contemporary official documents

Full textThrough an ethnographic and interactionist approach (Blumer, 1969), the aim of this research is to held position’s pain medicine in the division of medical labour (Hughes, 1996). Thus, it seeks to understand why, forty years after the introduction of this “domaine de pratiques” in France, the medical professionals of pain still continue to struggle for the recognition of their status. Three topics are used to answer these questions. 1) Through the observation of consultations dedicated to assessment and treatment of chronic pain and "cross-cutting activity" of "mobile pain teams" in Parisian pain clinics, I describe a medical activity that not in line with biomedicine (Cambrosio and Keating, 2003) and is built on a multidisciplinary, so-called "global" approach of the patient and attached to the psychological dimensions. The means of therapeutic action available medicines fail to completely relieve pain. The main task of doctors of pain is to teach patients to live with their pain; 2) Biographical interviews with medical professionals pain –coming from particular trajectories and from different disciplines- can trace careers (Hughes, 1996a) not valued in relation to the history of this “domaine de pratiques”; 3) The focus on collective actions for the recognition of this “domaine de pratiques” and the status of these professionals (Abbott, 1988b; The Bianic and Vion, 2008) enables us to identify the existence of two repertoires of action characterized by different logics and uncertain effects. These questions allow us to draw the evolution of this activity on the basis of a history of tasks and problems and get back critically on the nonlinear nature of the process of professionalization. This research also helps to highlight the gaps left vacant by biomedicine that the pain medicine is precisely trying to fill, such as care and taking your time. More broadly, it questions the form taken by contemporary medicine (Baszanger et al., 2002)

Full textThis thesis analyzes tensions between the dynamics of segmentation and normalization of social management modalities of abnormality, both in institutions, devices, and practices in the professional world of integrating young workers with disabilities. The aim is to highlight the difficulties and tensions in the social and professional integration work of young workers with disabilities and the significant impact of inclusion policies. The research seeks to understand, from the professionals' perspective, their challenges by exploring the diversity of social institutions, devices, practices, and placing them in spatial, temporal, and symbolic contexts (Abbott, 2016).The methodology is based on 40 semi-structured interviews with 37 integration professionals and 3 young workers with disabilities. These interviews allowed for the analysis of support practices and representations, as well as understanding the interactions between professionals from various institutions working together or not.The results highlight administrative difficulties in the transition between protected and ordinary environments related to the variety of establishments and institutions.The representations of disability and support practices of professionals, the construction, and maintenance of professional networks play a central role in the practices of professionals in this specific professional world. Questions of professional transition, collaboration between institutions, and skills enhancement are at the heart of professionals' concerns. Professional practices are in tension between technical adaptation and institutional tinkering, requiring complex support work involving awareness, mediation, and negotiation

Full textThe purpose of this PhD thesis is to understand how French nurses are groomed. We will focus on their initial training. How does a common educational background manage to produce such different practitioners? Firstly, a socio-historical approach of the emergence of this professional group will enlighten its internal dynamics especially regarding the institutional education. The training is held by senior nurses, who define the specific tasks and duties of nurses.In a second step, starting from a qualitative and localized fieldwork, we will aim at understanding the recruitment and socialization of student nurses. Recruiting obviously begins with the nursing school entrance examination but continues on throughout the studies, following two patterns. On the one hand, at school, the senior nurses teach versatile skills. On the other hand, during internships in health institutions, the exercising nurses select the students fit to become nurses in this particular institution

Full textSince the initiation of psychiatric hospitals opening process in 1960, care work in the public hospital psychiatry has been the subject of profound transformations. From a direct observation work of the daily life of care teams in the mental hospital and an additional qualitative material composed of interviews and archive documents, this thesis describes the nursing practice in psychiatry.The skilled nursing heritage of public psychiatric hospital hardly expresses itself in the practice of nursing. The principles, references and practices they have built during their professional socialization are challenged by a double process of de-professionalization and de-specialization in psychiatry. In 1992, the diploma protecting the borders of the professional group of nurses in psychiatry is deleted in favor of a training involving its members in the wider group of the general nurses. Meanwhile, hospital reform rejects the specificity of the psychiatric care sector and submits caregivers of psychiatry to the same injunctions as those imposed on the other sectors of the public hospital. Finally, the shift from psychiatry to mental health transformed the role of psychiatric hospitalization. Formerly unique place in the treatment of ill-being, the psychiatric hospital is now the last resort for patients in acute crisis that cannot be treated in the mental health-hospital devices. The refocusing on the most serious diseases and the management of acute crisis, the injunction to performance and quality and the questioning of the basis of the knowledge of the nursing profession in psychiatry reflect the restatement of the mandate given to caregivers of psychiatry. Today dependent on an ex-companying mandate, nurses in the hospital public psychiatry are responsible for patients’ care and have to accompany them quickly towards the hospital exit. This paradoxical mandate induces new practices. In the daily care units, nurses responsible both for emptying the beds and taking care of patients mobilize therapeutic tools for the management of patient flow. They participate thereby in the creation of strict rules in everyday life and in the imposition of a particularly demanding patient role. Unable to give time to all the patients, they proceed to the selection of some deserving patients and divest collectively patients who are unworthy of their commitment. Faced with managerial and managerial constraints, psychiatry nurses are far from weak. By their resistance, they manage to fight against the colonization of numbers policy and to protect their profession. Their mastery of the art of poaching gives them a power enabling them to subvert the instruments of power from the New Public Management and to reverse the effects of professional dominance of physicians. Subaltern profession in the hospital hierarchy, psychiatric nurses stand today, in terms of their professional practice, as the main architects of the daily psychiatry

Full textIt was during the collective bargaining of 1936 39 that the category of technicians was first defined and named ; the outlines of the category were subsequently redefined during later negotiations. Since the early 1960's this category has experienced a strong numerical growth which has taken place simultaneously with the development of technicial education. However, the recruitment of young draguates as technicians - especially from the mid-70's onwards - has only partially changed conditions of entry into this category, which still remains closely linked to the working class. In addition, the category does not have any national representative body that would provide it with some cohesion and a possibility of standing as a unified group

Full textFreedom of knowing intimacy, sexuality and love participates to subjective construction and to interpersonal relationships’ building. It’s not equally accessible to everyone. Physical disabled people living in special institutions painfully experience it. Their functional dependency leads to a daily need for help and care given by professionals who intervene in each and every aspect of their life. As a consequence, professionals are concerned by some dimensions of intimate, sexual or love life of people they are caring of.If the main designs of the PhD is to highlight experiences and wishes of physical disabled people living in institutions towards intimacy, love and sexuality, we are also interested in what professionals say about this. Interviews conducted with disabled people and professionals reveal a divergence leading to question the the nature of the gap existing between disabled people’s and professional’s speeches and how we can understand it.From then on, three methods are implemented to collect data: administrating a questionnaire, observing supervision groups and animating focus groups. Data collected show that disabled people’s quest for recognition and “normality” faces the negative influence of their living context hindering their freedom and the persistence of professionals’ essentialist view of disability leading to inadequate practices

Full textThis research puts under scrutiny the formation of a social group through the daily work of a set of actors, such as the drivers of public transport, political parties and the administration representatives. It reconsiders the most common explanation on the stability of Senegalese political institutions: the hypothesis of the religious social contract. In my case, the study of the social contract takes place outside the religious contract in the context of post structural adjustment. The research highlights a circular process where political institutions build social groups, which in return reinforce political institutions. Structural adjustment policies have upset the social stratification of the transport world. They have allowed a new type of drivers' social climbing, who own vehicles. Mutual societies that were already in the motor parks have been symbolically invested by new significations. They will henceforth represent the driver profession. During the 1990s, with the help of unionists, the leaders of these organisations have progressively integrated local configurations of actors gathering representatives of political parties and administrations. This has given them additional means to reaffirm the existence of the driver group. Nowadays, this professional group asserts itself through the control of driver's work and the designation of the leaders of the group. On the other side, the existence of the driver group legitimates political institutions by perpetuating the belief that these institutions are above the rest of the society. The driver representatives' brokering practices with political parties and administrations allow us to study how significant these beliefs are

Full textSince French society became involved in the field of swimming towards the end of the 18th century, with the risk of drowning becoming more and more likely, the consideration of water safety has played a decisive role in social life. In this context of preventive actions and the unconditional obligation to know how to swim, a social figure has emerged, that of the lifeguards (MNS). These professionals embody, if not an institution, at least a certain idea of safety and rescue in the aquatic environment to which the French remain attached during their recreational and sporting activities. This thesis is therefore part of the debate on the development of a professional group, from the contingencies of its emergence when its members provided seasonal domestic work to the functionarisation of the profession, yesterday legitimised by a preventive public policy, today put under tension by normative and economic constraints inherent to the jurisdiction in which it evolves. Based on an in-depth survey of lifeguards and the history of their professionalisation, this work reveals the profound changes in this group, from its genesis to its institutionalisation. It seeks to show, at a macro-sociological level, the metamorphoses of this community in order to legitimise its presence on a territory periodically regulated by the injunctions of the State, and at a micro-sociological level, the adaptive dispositions of its members in order to preserve a practical autonomy in spite of the ever more powerful prescriptions of the operators of public swimming pools. This thesis thus aims to contribute to understanding how the consolidation of the social position of a professional group embodying a 'small profession' varies according to the degree of legitimisation of a long-term public policy linked to measures to protect the population
Feroni, Isabelle. "Les infirmieres hospitalieres : la construction d'un groupe professionnel -." Nice, 1994. http://www.theses.fr/1994NICE2009.
Full textThe construction of the hospital nurse profession is related to the medicalization of the hospital institution, to the development of a technical and specialized practice and to the growing control of the state into national health management. The feminization of this profession, its moral definition and the subordinate position it holds in the technical division of labour are tightly connected to the monopolization of medecine by the medical profession and to the histroical background of the hospital wages policy. The gradual protection of the diploma and the juridical codification of the professional practice have made the nursing staff a state regulated paramedical profession. These regulations are strongly related to the elaboration of health political measures. The professional group identity is at stake in its position in the hospital division of labour towards doctors on one side and nursing assistants and helpers on the other. The nursing staff activity is indeed defined by an intimate collaboration with the proper medical work but also vy attending sick persons directly. Throuh a corporatist wayn, the nursing staff is trying to elaborate a new representation of their professionality which, for the first time, refers to the erudite profession model. Present changes in the hospital, resting on the reinforcement of management commitments contribute to the internal segmentation of this professional group and tend to oppose a grade of executives, invested with an important organizing power, against a majority of qualified female technicians

The arrivals of this " particular population " was presented as innovative form of social work. The main point of this thesis is : how can we sociologically analyse factors which lead the people from different countries towards social professions and how did these people explain the fact they have in the report of the production a place assigned to them by their social origin? This research, which is based on an empiric work, analyses the social paths of social workers from foreign (and those of french origin), in taking mainly into account the social, economical and academic characteristics of both, their family and themselves, highlighting " the universe of significations that they refer " to have access to social professions. The author has analysed (in a comparative viewpoint with the people of french origin), the factors which have led that population to choose social professions, the conditions determining this choice and he has also shown how the objective conditions related to a social position or to the conjoncture favoured such a choice

With the use of a survey per interview and the analysis of professional associations' archives, the study exposes the process of the creation and transformation of the professional group. Historical study shows the birth of the professional town planners' activity and the struggles between many professional groups to appropriate it. The town planner group is very heterogeneous and not very defined. The problems of social and legal recognition lead professional associations, at their creation, to organize and defend the profession. Finally we will show how the group of planners cannot correspond to the model of profession and thus will not achieve its' professionalization. It can more easily be defined as an emerging occupation that replies to new needs in society

Full textIn considering the situation of social work trainers, this thesis studies the process by which a group that has not managed to adapt to changes in its environment has become professionalized. On the basis of a wide-ranging national survey using quantitative and qualitative approaches and involving examination of archive material, we have identified the movements to which these professionals have been subjected. Born during the 1920s, at the time when social work was in its infancy, trainers whose experience was acquired in the field became key figures in training colleges. The speed and scale of the social sector's expansion caused an influx of people with professional qualifications or university degrees. These newcomers began to question the competence of those professionals whose claim to legitimacy was founded in their experience and who refused to go through official qualification channels to obtain trainer status. The trainers suffered the full force of the priority accorded to managerial and budgetary rationalization and its consequences: evolution of professional practice, deregulation of their practice framework, disrepute brought to their professional identity. The absence of any substantial representative body capable of defending its members' interests has reinforced individual strategies and identities defined by the place of work.The study of this professional group and the process of deprofessionalization it is undergoing is relevant to a wider movement affecting trainers in relational professions in general. The theoretical and disciplinary framework of this thesis is principally that of the sociology of professional groups, but reference is also made to the sociology of identity as well as to education and training sciences

domains of the performance part of the questionnaire.The findings related to the second concern of the study indicated that the two programs (i.e., ELT and Certificate) seemed adequate, to a certain degree, in providing prospective English Language teachers with desired standards. However, based on the opinions of students and instructors, it could be concluded that those programs had some deficiencies in terms of the contents and the number of the methodology courses.In the light of the data collected and analyzed, some recommendations are made about the revealed deficiencies in the ELT and Certificate Programs in the last chapter to ensure that the prospective teachers are equipped with the best qualities and standards required to be a professionally qualified English teacher.

Full textThroughout the reform of the French occupational medical system in the first decade of the 2000s, "multidisciplinarianism" imposed itself as a solution to the ongoing crisis of professional risk prevention. It addressed both the demographic deficit of occupational doctors and the narrowness of the French prevention model, deemed too "medico-centered". Through the case of a specific occupational health service, the « SST1 », this research brings to light the stakes involved in carrying out a new policy based on workforce diversification. Namely, it analyses the « jurisdictional conflicts » (Abbott 1988) opposing occupational doctors from the newly introduced professional groups: nurses, assistants, professional risks specialists from different disciplines (ergonomists, psychologists, toxicologists…). Theses new groups both assist doctors on tasks they no longer have time to complete and enlarge their action to fields that were until then not dealt with in occupational health services, thus redefining the borders of their activity. Spreading itself beyond a simple reassignment of means, the "multidisciplinary" system reshapes the content of everyone’s activity. Therefore, an analysis of the conflicts incurred by the prevention of "psychosocial risks" will help put forward different conceptions of occupational health, and of the prevention mission, that can look further than the discrepancies between professional groups

Full textDenna rapport behandlar olika steg inom produktframtagning av ett nytt verktygs-bälte för professionella skogsarbetare åt företaget Husqvarna Group. Från att identifiera kundens behov genom fältstudier samt intervjuer med olika användare, till en konkret lösning på problemet. Introduktionskapitlet klargör syftet med rapporten, de frågeställningar rapporten diskuterar och vilka avgränsningar som gjorts. Rapporten fokuserar på att hitta en ny och bättre lösning än den nuvarande för att fästa hölster på verktygsbältet och även hur avtagbara hängslen ska fästas i bältet. Företaget Husqvarna och deras nu-varande verktygsbälte och huvudkonkurrenternas bälten beskrivs. Sedan följer ett kapitel med teoretisk bakgrund där QFD-metoden och Pughs beslutsmetod besk-rivs som senare används i rapporten. En beskrivning av hur arbetet i skogen går till och hur verktygsbältet används finns också med. I kapitlet metod upprättas en tidsplan för projektets olika faser. Därefter används QFD-metoden och ett kvalitetshus för att identifiera kundens behov och för att få en rangordning av kundkraven samt skapa ingenjörsmässiga mätvärden på kraven. Kvalitetshuset innehåller även en konkurrensanalys där det nuvarande bältet jäm-förs med konkurrenternas. Ett antal olika koncept för att lösa de två problemen, fäste för hölster och hängslen, tas fram och utvärderas mot uppställda krav med hjälp av Pughs beslutsmatris. En “proof of concept” prototyp tas sedan fram av det valda konceptet. En sammanställning av förbättringsmöjligheterna på det nuvarande verktygsbältet läggs fram i kapitlet resultat. Där presenteras det slutliga konceptet och prototypen av det. Konceptet för att fästa hölstren är ett hålat plastband som fästs på bältet i underkanten av plastbandet så att det kan vikas ner. Bakom plastbandet och ge-nom hålet träs flärpar från hölstret, det hela täcks och säkras med ett textilband som är fastsytt i överkant och med tryckknappar i underkant. Avslutningsvis finns ett kapitel med slutsatser, där metoderna och resultaten dis-kuteras och där ges förslag på hur arbetet bör tas vidare.

Full textThe major issue of this PhD in STAPS (Sciences and Techniques of Sporting Activity) is to identify and understand the various dynamics that contribute to building a professional identity in (re)definition, that of the tennis refereeing body whose missions are evolving, particularly in light of the media coverage and the increasing professionalization of this sport since the 1970s. Although being a professional referee is now an established profession in the nomenclatures of trades and jobs, the status of professional referee in the tennis world does not seem to be entirely acknowledged, taking into account the fact that referee’s amateur activity had largely replaced a paid then salaried activity during the end of the 20th century. Among the various elements that constitute the professionalism of the tennis refereeing body and its recognition, it is important to understand, in particular, the access process to the status of international tennis referee, identifying both the issues and the ingredients, the modalities and the levers for promoting the different levels of the refereeing body in the gradual transformation of the status of international tennis referee in France

Full textFootball is the most popular sport in the world, and it continues to have a progressive annual increase in the number of active players and the number of games played per season, which in turn, leads to an increase in the frequency of injuries. Football is extensively researched worldwide, however, some current studies confirm that the results on football injury factors are limited, as well as inconsistent and incomplete. The main aim of this study was to examine interrelating factors of football injuries through the various age groups at a designated football club. The study aimed to expose the injury risk factors and patterns present in the various age groups.

Organizational life is rife with conflict between groups with different interests who pursue different goals. Integrative mechanisms to promote goal alignment do not always work, particularly when conflicts involve professional groups with strong commitments to their professional identities and perspectives. I draw on data from a 30-month comparative ethnographic field study of conflict between US Army commanders privileging their professional group's goal of fielding a mission-ready unit and mental health providers privileging their professional group's goal of providing rehabilitative mental healthcare to active-duty soldiers suffering from conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. All providers and commanders faced longstanding conflict related to their professional group differences in goals, identities, and perspectives, and all had access to a host of integrative mechanisms to overcome these differences. Yet, only those associated with two of the four combat brigades on the US Army post featured in this dissertation regularly handled these conflicts by co-constructing integrative solutions that accomplished both professional groups' goals and the organization's overarching goal to have both mentally healthy and mission-ready soldiers. I find that an organizational structure that enables what I call "anchored personalization" can help different professional groups overcome identity conflict and entrenchment in their home group's perspective to align their goals, without becoming coopted by the other group's perspective from personalized contact with the other group. Anchored personalization resulted from an organizational structure that provided a long-term personal connection with specific members of the other group, while anchoring group members in their home group identity from working surrounded by their fellow group members. Anchored personalization reduced longstanding identity conflict between groups by broadening and expanding each group's professional identity to incorporate elements of the other group's perspective, enabling what I call "anchored perspective-taking." Anchored perspective-taking practices led to the co-construction of integrative solutions to conflicts that aligned seemingly incompatible group goals to achieve the organization's superordinate goal. This dissertation contributes to our understanding of managing goal and identity conflict between professional groups in organizations and to our understanding of the dark side of personalization without anchoring.

Full textFrench research in sociology seems to have detached itself from artisanship as a field of study in spite of a recent regain of interest in it. As a polymorphous object, artisanship still remains subject to doubt as far as its definition and sustainability are concerned. To characterise it, we based our work on employment statistics produced within the consular network in Rhône-Alpes and entrepreneurship data that we processed. Together with qualitative material collected in butcheries and mechanic businesses through observations and interviews conducted in France and Morocco. We spent three years of full-time work within the Regional Chamber of Trades and Crafts with a research funding (CIFRE 2007-2010) to carry out this study. This thesis reveals the craft business as an incubator of skills which are embedded in an ad hoc work division based on routines and creativity which are an updated response to production and market situations. Adding up to this efficiency, the locally rooted relational dimension leads to organizational and market performance. This dimension appears in the artisans offers, their customers capture strategies and the competitive relationships between peers. This thesis also aims at studying the Rhône-Alpes artisanship as a social category. The main finding here is that artisanship cohesion and its elasticity reveal an open and dynamic occupational market built on the labor market and on a constellation of occupational groups that gather independent-craftsmen as their core and a mobile population that revolves around sharing the same qualifications and experience

Full textFor the past 30 years, research in France concerning workplace sociology within supermarkets and hypermarkets have highly favored the study of cashiers, thus disregarding the department employees. The aim of this dissertation is to restore this discrepancy by focusing on department managers who represent the first level of management in retail stores.In order to study this specific workforce, a focus on workplace sociology was initially necessary to advance a microsociological analysis of their daily work. The main tasks of department managers are to increase the turnover and the profits of the departments they are responsible for as well as keeping up the motivation of their teams. Therefore, they are interacting on a daily basis with the employees responsible for shelving, ordering, and stock managing products as well as dealing with suppliers and customers. Instructions are given by the store management i.e. store manager or sector manager, who also check the employees’ results and assess their behavior. To get some insight into the daily interactions in a supermarket, the sociology of professions was considered to produce a mesosociological and macrosociological analysis of the workplace and employment. This serves as a way to study the evolution in retail stores’ work structure as well as the changes in the particular group of department managers. Both are closely linked to the structural changes of the retail industry which is constantly adjusting to the contingencies of the economic context and the changeable desire of customers. Therefore, the mutations at work will be highlighted, for the employment and management in supermarkets and hypermarkets, which have impacted managers since the early 2000s ; a process that began accelerating around 2010.Unlike the numerous monographs that can be found on the topic of cashiers, this approach will focus on two elements. First, we will contextualize the structural and employment evolutions at work that retail employees have faced since the turn of the 2010s. We will elaborate, when needed, on the differentiated impact of these mutations on managers depending on their relation to one or several professional segments: food store chains vs. independent stores, food department vs. non-food departments, urban areas vs. rural areas, supermarkets vs. hypermarkets, weak union presence vs. strong union representation. In addition, this method leads to a deeper consideration on the sociology of professions: 1) a functionalist theoretical approach which focuses on the individuality of a profession and 2) an interactionist theoretical approach underlining the variety of practices within the same professional group. The concept of professional ethos is all the while used to encompass both the uniqueness and variety of department managers. A personal interpretation of this ethos will be developed revolving around 3 points: a practical dimension (practice, activities, tasks, rules, daily missions), a symbolic dimension (discourse, norms, values, representations) and a social dimension (gender, education, age, social category). This new definition of ethos, remaining consistent with the objective features of a professional group and its values, representation, and daily work, will open up new perspectives of research regarding other professional groups.This dissertation is divided into two parts. The first is dedicated to the practical dimension of the professional ethos of department managers. The second is devoted to the symbolic and social aspects of this work ethos which has been disturbed by the recent restructuring of retail stores. This thesis will conclude with an accurate definition of the concept of professional ethos which will contribute to understand other professional groups

Full textHow do heteronomous norms of behavior succeed in defining how individuals organize their everyday lives without being perceived as external or arbitrary constraints? How do individuals come to favor certain references to act rather than others in their life's course ? Energy practices in the domestic space (heating and cooling of rooms, cooking and refrigerating food, domestic hot water, lighting, electrical appliances, etc.) constitute a particularly rich field of analysis of these questions in the current context of "energy transition". The expected changes in behavior are the occasion of social science studies that often take for granted the categories of public debate: in special, that of reducing domestic practices that mobilize energy on consumption and that which naturalizes the energy transition . The aim is here to question these categories for households of the " working classes from the upper", at a distance from the social work schemes designed for deprived situations and nevertheless threatened with difficulties with energy costs. It then attempts to account for the mechanisms of submission to the economic slogan and the socialization of the social actors to the consumption of domestic practices mobilizing energy, bringing them in particular circumstances to pay attention to new prescriptive speeches when deciding on their actions. For this purpose, the thesis is based on a critical review of the social science work on households relation to energy, on monographs of occupational groups with institutional discourses on households and on monographs of households

Full textThis thesis attempts to identify institutional arrangements dedicated to groundwater management in two contrasting geographical contexts. India is the world's largest extractor of groundwater. Access to these resources has played a key role in the development of this country, which has led to the Indian paradox: intensive groundwater extraction in regions with unfavourable characteristics. In France, the pressure on the resource is less critical. The choice of a comparison between France and India highlights the fluctuating and negotiable nature of the organizational responses that have emerged to manage the tensions on groundwater. The research adopts a process-oriented methodology to institutions. We consider the organizations in charge of groundwater, but also the knowledge related to it. The socio-historical approach highlights the relationship between public policies and the constitution of hydrogeology as a scientific discipline throughout the 20th century and its developmentalist paradigm. The stabilization of hydrogeology as a unified corpus, detached from Earth sciences, relies on the loci of knowledge production. During the last years of the French Colonial Empire, geologists sent to North African territories accumulated experience which was later rapatriated to France. In India, the development of groundwater-related policies post Independence followed the Truman Doctrine model. Indian hydrogeologists were trained by American practitioners in California, which was the first fieldwork of geologists concerned with groundwater overexploitation. Moving forward, we consider deeper the relation between knowledge and groundwater organisations. Using various archive collections (texts of laws and legislative debates, monographs on the recomposition of services, etc.), we approach the period by putting whiggism at bay. The study shows actors struggling with contradictory objectives and technocratic compromises. Beyond the cognitive elements that would confirm the representation we have of past extractive regimes, these archives reveal concerns close to those that can be expressed in our time. A study of the different groundwater regimes could not be complete without studying the actors evolving in the field of hydrogeological expertise. Our work studies the professional group of groundwater experts within a temporal framework. It considers the interplay between identification (harmonization of techniques and training) and differentiation (both internal and external) with other professions. This thesis was inspired by pioneering work on the sociology of occupational groups challenged by environmental stakes. By combining qualitative and quantitative methods, the analysis shows that the proliferation of environmental watchwords within the profession did not help reinforce its still fragile position
