Abstract: Developing a socio-historical study, this article questions the project of social regulation connected to the promotion of a new tool for personnel management ? job evaluation ? in the European coal and steel community during the 1950s and 1960s. According to the wishes of European technocrats, the implementation of this tool represented the technical premise to modernize the collective bargaining system, with a view to rationalize the workforce and normalize industrial relations. The article shows how the double ?circulation? ? transnational and local ? job evaluation was subjected to in the steel industry sector, has affected the implementation, the adaptation, and the transformation of this technique. Putting down the job evaluation process in the collective bargaining activity and in the work classification system informs on its (in) ability to meet the goals ascribed to it.
