Résumé anglais Françoise Loux : The Economic behavior of workers in a rural setting. This article aims at showing the logical sequence of economic practices and attitudes, through material gathered in a representative sample of metal workers in a poorly industrialized rural area. The following items are studied successively : 1) how a low economic level brings about a limitation of the range of possible behavior in consumer habits and pushes the workers towards « traditional » behavior ; 2) in what measure an organizational change in the firm throws them back towards an individual attitude of refusing every change ; 3) how, even though being conscious of the national level on which their demands are based, the workers are nevertheless discouraged by « politics » on which they have no control. In this way economic professional and political behavior reinforce one another and linked with the low economic level, induces the worker to overvalue the past.
