Résumé anglais William Grossin : The psycho-sociological dimension of working-time. The liberty of an employer to fix the duration of working time within legal limits is in fact quite small, because he is brought to practice that duration best suited for the stability of his personnel, the social climate of his enterprise, that is, for good productive conditions. This duration is situated in the relatively narrow framework of the work-group, which in turn depends mainly on the social composition of the personnel. It was noted for example, that the length of time is shorter when the work group comprises a large proportion of women. In case of commercial fluctuations industrials may recur to several means to insure the production : increase or diminish the number of over-hours, taking-on or laying-off of employees, spreading out of orders etc... The study of tactics used, reveals a concern not to maintain durable a length of time beyond the implicit limits of the group's psycho-social framework.
