Abstract: The comparative analysis of skills management in SME (small and medium enterprises) has revealed the specificity of the managerial practices developed in a SME SCOP (cooperative and participative society) and their remarkable effects on its employees'implication. Using Jean-Daniel Reynaud's social regulation theoretical frame and Jean-Claude Moisdon's methodological posture, we discuss the role of the leader along with the role of the management board and of diverse collectives who actively take part in the governance of this SCOP. It appears that the actual activity of the SCOP, the creation of collectives and actions of social regulation are at the heart of this SCOP's concerns, thus fostering its development project that aims to be socially and economically viable, and at the service of and with its employees. This case study also allows to ask the question of the cooperation and of the collectives which tend to have been abandoned at the exclusive profit of autonomy, leaving untold what really takes place at work.
