Soumission dans les organisations liquides. Les paradoxes du salarié houellebecquien

Xavier Philippe, Vincent Meyer and Jean-Denis Culié

Revue française de gestion, 2022, vol. N° 303, issue 2, 85-103

Abstract: According to the philosopher and sociologist Zygmunt Bauman, the modern liquid society is one of ephemerality, of the dilution of social ties and of a consumerist relationship to work. Apart from this last dimension, extant organizational literature has not yet clarified the future of employees in such a context. The study of Michel Houellebecq?s novels and poetry allows us to complete and clinically analyze the destiny of the liquid employee, prisoner of a constantly renewed present within organizations and where the only way to escape solitude is to engage in the vicious circle of frenzy consumption in which he is both a stakeholder and a victim.
