Résumé anglais Michel Crozier : Feelings, organizations and systems. Most human actions are influenced by a set of systems that insure their integration and regulation. They can be analyzed by the methods and logic specific to the sociology of organizations. Its hypothetical framework, similar to the relationship approach of group dynamics, tends towards action and gives preference to consciousness, rationality and organization. The analysis of attitudes, feelings and behaviours stemming from the actors' speech refers to the roles and power component of every organized relationship, the rules of the play are made of structures and hierarchies. There is an evolution both convergent and contradictory : systems are becoming more and more organized and regulated; organizations more and more open and flexible. The combination of different macrosociological approaches in system analysis enables us to determine several types of integrative processes and may open out to an evaluation of the organizational capacity of a given society.
