Abstract: The contributions of the conception of labor in Saint-Exupéry's Citadelle for the management constitute the object of this work. Having presented the "hermeneutic schema" (Sabot, 2002), which establishes the methodological frame, labor as exchange in management is briefly presented so that appears then in all its originality the vision of the work as exchange to Saint-Exupéry. The matter is for the worker to exchange its life against eternity, to tear away from the grips of the time that leads to death, by transferring in the empire, through the accomplished work. The paper shows how, thanks to Saint-Exupéry's thought, an articulation of the three dimensions of work is conceivable, from the Gomez (2013) model. By realizing a work for money to consume, the worker gives himself to the empire. This gift gives him back a better being. This articulation is appropriate to question three elements of the managerial context: the link between the work and the success of life, the difficulties of short employment cycles and the consideration of the stakeholders.
