| Résumé : |
The dawn of an information economy means a new “heroic era” for employees. This idea is not new since we find the expression used regularly by authors – whether scientific or not – who have tried to define the spirit of the industrial age in successive periods of the past. It consists of saying that surely too many demands are weighing down on the human being, who is definitively too human. In this light, finally, modernity appears inhuman. This poses a problem, for which we may envisage two major types of solution that are discussed here in their extreme forms. One solution consists of striving to adapt working conditions to human possibilities. Here we have the essence of the ergonomic approach, which places humans at the centre of the economic system attempting to plan their environment. The other approach, on the contrary, is concerned with the inadequacy of humans to transform the environment. This is the essence of the bio-engineering approach, which moves the human to the periphery of the economic system. This approach has the status of a paradigm, and is not at all marginal. The essential outlines of these solutions are described, so we can then explore the main issues at stake. |
