 Les formes d’organisation du travail dans les administrations publiques. Quelle managérialisation de l’État, des hôpitaux et des collectivités locales ?Brice Nocenti Travail et Emploi, 2022, vol. N° 168, issue 1, 87-114 Abstract: How to measure the propagation of the organizational models of new public management in the state and local governments? This paper uses the French Working conditions surveys from 2005 to 2019 to extend quantitative research about work organization, usually applied to the commercial sector, to public administrations. Empirical analysis leads to a fivefold typology: professional autonomy, evaluated autonomy, direct control, lean management and flexible Taylorism. Organized professions of the public sector are subjected to an erosion of their collective autonomy under the action of formalized performance review, while still remaining in qualifying work organizations. Executives of the state and public health institutions have widely accepted management by objectives. Subordinate agents of ministries and public hospitals experience very coercive forms of New Taylorism. The adoption of managerial instruments from big corporations finally have very different consequences depending on the position of agents in administrative hierarchies, due to an inequal distribution of degrees of freedom and bureaucratic obligations.
