Résumé : |
In France, ethnography is fashionable in all disciplines of the humanities ... except in HRM. The finding may be surprising in view of the fertility of the method and the benevolence of companies towards "field" researchers. Our contribution explores this contradiction from a double perspective: historical and comparative. The illumination by the examples of sociology and the sciences of education invites us first of all to consider these resistances as the expression of the will of a recent discipline to conform to the most legitimate sciences founded on the quantitative. But the nature of management sciences still encourages us to think about the specificities of the subject of human resources management. Its practical anchoring (the IAE initially having for vocation to train executives already in position) leads it paradoxically to detach itself from the ground, to prevent suspicions of normativity which weigh on its object. Finally, his academic ancestry, since the management sciences, resulting from the economy, were first formed around disciplines that focus on mathematics: accounting and finance. Today, however, there is a timid opening, driven inter alia by interdisciplinarity, which offers some works based on qualitative methods, spaces for publication. This context, a priori particular, invites us to reflect on the critical scope of ethnography and its challenges for a discipline. " |
