The corpus of reviewers is the linchpin of the journal. It is composed of ad hoc reviewers who are mobilized to issue a critical and constructive opinion on the submissions. These notices, anonymous for the authors, may take the form of acceptance as is, request for minor or major changes, rejection with invitation for a new submission fully amended, or final rejection. These colleagues are solicited according to the needs of the journal by the editorial board on the basis of their areas of expertise. Opinions are summarized by the associate editors in charge of the manuscript and the final decision of publication or rejection is made by the editor-in-chief. When these reviewers are asked to review the text, the editor reminds them of the need to be constructive in their remarks and to adopt wording that limits the risk of vexation of the authors. It is explicitly suggested that they position themselves as coaches for submissions with real academic potential. The quality of proofreading is evaluated by the associate editors on a 5-point scale: poor, average, good, very good and excellent. This assessment, combined with other indicators, makes it possible to build up a corpus of reviewers who ensure a high level scientific assessment.

Norms and organisationnal behaviour
Pierre-Antoine Sprimont et Arnaud Eve
In a context where confusion between standards and legal regulations is common, it is essential to clarify that standards are voluntarily adopted management tools, co-constructed through consensus, designed to simplify organisational processes.

Well-being / Ill-being at Work
Nathalie Bernard et Virginie MOISSON
The study of well-being at work truly emerged at the turn of the 2000s when positive psychology encouraged the scientific community to study optimal human functioning (Seligman 1999) and when well-being at work measurement scales appeared (Abord de Chatillon and Richard 2015; Bietry and Creusier 2013; Dagenais-Desmarais 2010). Today, well-being at work has become a significant managerial and socie ...
