Don, ingratitude et management. Suicide et désengagement au travail

Norbert Alter

Revue française de gestion, 2011, vol. n° 211, issue 2, 47-61

Abstract: The gift theory as it was elaborated by Mauss and his successors helps to understand that the plant represents a place of social ties production, as well as a place for goods production. These ties, which produce collective efficiency, also enable to give meaning and recognition. Modernising politics forget what the employees have given and still are giving. Therefore they progressively produce a work detachment, a disassociation between the employee and the subject, although the structuring principle is the engagement. This integration deficit, which the most tragical image was given by the series of suicides at work, is still a threat for the organizations.
