Abstract: The paper presents a constructive view of ergonomics, aiming not only at work efficiency but also at the continuous and joint development of workers and organizations. This approach articulates the socio-economic models proposed by G. Becker and A. Sen. It is illustrated by a study of decisionmaking between specialists in oncology, which have to propose appropriate treatments for complex cases. We show that the role of the team goes beyond decision aid : the discussion on specific cases implies a reflection on the rules themselves. Such a collective reflective activity stimulates the development of both individual and collective knowledge and guarantees the global reliability of the decisions. The conclusion introduces the concept of enabling environment, the characteristics of which are sketched.
