Contenu du sommaire : Enjeux de responsabilité sociale pour la GRH

Social responsibility according to the ISO 26000 standard is defined as « responsibility of an organization for the impacts of its decisions and activities on society and the environment […] ». Our investigations on different fields (Competitiveness Poles, Territorial Poles of Economic Cooperation, Local Authorities, etc.) have led us to question ourselves on the limits of this standard to understand the specificities of this inter-organizational collaboration in the service of a sustainable development of territories. This article, after having described this new management situation, proposes an analysis of the different reference systems linked to social responsibility that can be mobilized by the different actors in these territorial projects. We then discuss the contributions of the ISO 37101 standard (Sustainable development in communities - Management system for sustainable development - Requirements with guidance for use) to move towards a cooperative approach of territorial actors in the service of sustainable development of territories.

who remain on site while others telework is non-existent. By mobilizing Hobfoll's (Hobfoll, 1989) resource conservation theory (RCT), and more specifically the concept of resource caravans (Hobfoll, 2014), we explore the resources mobilized by these ‘telework survivors' during the health crisis. The aim of this article is to understand how resources are articulated. Based on a quantitative survey conducted during the winter of 2020/2021 (N=2032), our results highlight important differences in health between our two categories of workers. Indeed, not only do survivors experience more exhaustion than teleworkers, but this exhaustion is of a different nature. This shows that survivors and teleworkers relied on very different caravans of resources to cope with the constraints of their work situations.

In this article, we present the concept of employability in large compagnies in France and Québec. We return to the genesis of the evolution of the concept of employability, which is subject to numerous debates in the literature. Interactive employability offers a global vision at the core of concerns, while individual employability places people at the center of the concept. Taking in account employability within Human Resources Management (HRM) is becoming unavoidable, especially since there is a legal corpus on employability in France and Quebec which reinforces the consideration of this aspect in company policies. In this scientific research, we opt for a qualitative approach. We collect 65 interviews from members of Human Resources Management within large compagnies. These interviews are carried out with 33 large compagnies. The results show a contrasting reality concerning the consideration of the development of the employability of employees. This responsibility is shared between different actors within organization: employee, manager and HRM. We will also present managerial recommendations.

Employer groups (EG) are more than 20 years old; their main mission being to recruit employees and make them available to its member companies according to their needs. One of the particularities of SHGs is their associative functioning and governance is specific with elected volunteers, often company directors or senior executives, and salaried directors. The question of the distribution of responsibilities arises and can highlight the emergence of a form of technostructure (Baudry and Chirat, 2018). In a network of SHGs, it is also necessary to manage the relations between SHGs in order to have common objectives, which supposes a form of alignment between different social systems (Luhmann, 1995, 2012, 2018). However, when it comes to considering a CSR approach, the notion of alignment takes on its full meaning because it is necessary for the GEs, components of the associatively structured network, to be active and collaborative stakeholders in the collective interest. We show from a longitudinal research that there can be a form of decoupling between the individual interest (GE) and the collective interest (Network of GE) which can be a source of tensions in the RSO perspective. We propose a reading grid based on the work of Luhmann.

The inclusion of stakeholders by the French grassroots volunteer organizations (GVOs) is congruent with their governance and mission. As a result, its positive effects on performance are well known, but those on the disclosure of governance mechanisms and accountability are less well known. This research, thanks to the analysis of reports proposed by the largest French GVOs, highlights the contributions of each of the categories of stakeholders. The presence of beneficiaries is crucial, and that of leaders has more surprising effects. Several theoretical perspectives are thus opened up around stakeholder theory. The instrumental approach, which focuses on the contributions of stakeholders, is to be preferred to the normative approach, which considers that all stakeholders must be integrated into the management of GVOs.

Managers engage in CSR practices improvement strategies, not randomly, but taking into account the anticipation of the marginal financial impact of these strategic decisions. The purpose of this article is to raise awareness among researchers, in the field of social issues in management, about endogeneity bias that plagued the econometric models used so far. This article offers an approach for understanding endogeneity bias in studies based on panel data models. It presents statistical demonstrations of possible sources of endogeneity (i.e., omissions of variables, simultaneity, measurement errors), and provides an overview of the most commonly used econometric methods to overcome them. Finally, this article shows the superiority of the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) in the case of studies based on panel data.

In the context of the globalization of trade and the digitalization of distribution channels, the supply chain's performance plays a crucial role in ensuring marketing strategies' success. Therefore, we can expect a priori recognition by academic marketing research of the central role of logistics performance in the implementation of successful marketing strategies. To verify this, the article proposes a meta-analysis conducted with the world's leading marketing journals, which are reputed to offer the most rigorous research. It emerges that the logistics and supply chain aspects, grouped into four categories, are underestimated, with minimal quantitative and qualitative production. Consequently, marketing research still has a lot of work to do to meet the expectations of firms and practitioners, avoiding myopia. In the end, the article sheds light on the debate on rigor/relevance in management by showing that beyond the impact of research, the debate also refers to inter-disciplinary and inter-functional issues.

For the past ten years, management sciences have taken over subjects described as sensitive. While having a strong societal resonance, these subjects are often associated with potential threats to different stakeholders in the research. While those involving respondents have been studied at length in the literature, threats to researchers are still underestimated, often referring to their professional responsibility, defined by researchers themselves in terms of political role. This conception, based on one of the researcher's forms of engagement, has the consequence of evading some of the threats associated with other forms of engagement such as the interest in studying sensitive subjects. This is why this article focuses on the behavioral dimension by questioning the extent to which the researcher's social responsibility is impacted by the fact of studying a sensitive subject and by the multiple constraints to which he/her is subjected to protect the participants and himself/herself. This is why this article questions the extent to which the researcher's social responsibility is impacted by studying a sensitive subject and the multiple constraints to which he/she is subjected to protect participants and protect himself/herself from inherent threats. We conclude that, when studying sensitive subjects, the researcher has a strengthened social responsibility at the individual, institutional and societal level committing him/her to adopt appropriate behaviors and a sustained ethical posture. Faced with his/her own vulnerabilities, a need for objectivity and a framework formalizing ethical expectations, the researcher may even feel an impossibility to study sensitive subjects. While these effects are undeniably binding, they reinforce the necessary questioning of the ethics and purposes of research, underscoring the importance of a strong reflexivity for any researcher of a sensitive subject, especially in management where this reflexivity is still little materialized in the publications.

Issue. This article studies the research collaborations in the field of management between French private Business Schools (BS) and public Universities, which are historically two separated worlds. We investigate whether this separation continues over the 2008-2018 period marked by the growth of research activity in Business Schools and collaborative practices (including international collaboration) in the academic world. Methodology. Our data set coming from Scopus includes 15,494 publications from 1,177 journals. It enables us to outline the main trends in the production of academic research by groups of French institutions. Main results. Our results show that the Universities-CNRS group increasingly collaborate with the BS and represents the first set of partners of the BS group. However, the collaborative publications between BS and Universities-CNRS were weakly internationalized and had less impact than the average value of BS publications during that period. We contribute to the literature by showing that collaboration between research organizations, which is particularly dynamic, can be extended to collaborations between private and public institutions.

The collaborative and shared economy is experiencing unprecedented development in most developed and developing countries. In these networks, trust between exchange partners is crucial. Prior studies have rarely outlined the importance of trust and its relationship with consumer satisfaction. Our paper is based on an exploratory field study of declarations extracted from forums, blogs and pages of the worldwide leader of carsharing, the French company, BlaBlaCar. Our results confirm the main dimensions of trust, related to both the service provider and partners. We demonstrate the emergence of a form of trust based on a common vision of a society in which human relations are built on reputation, legal and insurance guaranties enhancing mutual trust.
