Résumé anglais Pierre Dubois : An example of causal analysis : the activity of the shop Stewart in industrial organizations. This is an application of the methods of causal analysis. An account is given of the activity of the shop stewart, by linking it, not to one causal factor, but to a set of interrelated factors, that is to say to the construction of a complex causal structure, and for that purpose the method of reduced coefficients of partial regression has been used. This method and the limits of its use are presented in detail. It is assumed that 10 variables influence the activity of the shop stewart; 5 correlations are significant, but for the regression analysis only 3 variables are used: a shop stewart is active if the Union in the firm in which he works is a strong one, if he participates in Union activities outside of the firm, and if he has a high professional status (the factors are ranked in order of decreasing influence). The A. has reintroduced the multivariant analysis in order to bring out interactions and to isolate deviant cases.
