Abstract: Cet article confronte deux tentatives pour constituer les entreprises en organisations socialement responsables. Le paternalisme de la fin du XIXe siècle présentait le patron comme un père vis-à-vis de ses ouvriers. Le managérialisme de nos jours fait des managers des gestionnaires citoyens vis-à-vis des parties prenantes. Ces deux systèmes visent l’harmonie des intérêts entre les classes sociales, le bonheur de ceux qui travaillent et l’autoréglementation des organisations. La responsabilité sociale des entreprises marque un seuil supplémentaire de l’emprise organisationnelle, non seulement dans la gestion des ressources humaines, mais aussi dans les relations avec la société tout entière. Elle marque aussi un changement dans la forme de croyance fondatrice : hier religieuse, aujourd’hui gestionnaire. This article confronts two attempts to constitute the companies in organizations socially responsible. The paternalism of end of the 19th century introduced the owner like a father with respect to his workmen. Managerialism nowadays made of the managers citizens with respect to take holders. These two systems aim at the harmony interests between the social classes, the happiness of those which work and the autoreglementation of the organizations. The corporate social responsability marks an additional threshold of the organisational influence, not only in human ressources, but too in the relations with the very whole company. It marks also a change in the form of belief founder : yesterday religious, today administrative.
