What is gamification?

Gamification involves applying the principles and mechanisms of gaming to serious contexts. Through gaming, it helps people engage in desired behaviors, but whose adoption is hampered by deeply ingrained habits. Liu, Santhanam, and Webster (2017) explain how a so-called "gamified" system can lead individuals to sustainably adopt a new behavior. This system is based on gamified objectives, objects, and interactions that maintain motivation to adopt new behaviors, despite the repeated efforts required to do so. Gamification combines social emulation, learning, and emotions to move from intention to action when it comes to adopting new behaviors.

What is gender?

The concept of gender is increasingly used in management today. It has also given rise to criticism and debate, sometimes stemming from confusion or a lack of understanding of the concept. This makes it all the more important to be familiar with the definition of gender and its relevance to management science. Initially, the concept of gender was proposed as a complement to the concept of sex. The concept of sex then refers to the biological differences between women and men, while the concept of gender refers to social differences.

What is professional equality?

The concept of professional equality conventionally refers to professional equality between women and men. It is a dimension of human resources management that encompasses all actions and observations relating to inequalities or the pursuit of equality between women and men within work organizations. It is therefore a concept that cuts across many dimensions of human resources management.

What are intercultural competencies?

Intercultural competencies are among the soft skills sought after by companies. According to Ang and Van Dyne, intercultural competencies enable you to “function effectively in culturally diverse situations.” In other words, they allow you to adapt and adjust your behavior based on your understanding of these situations. The term is plural because intercultural competencies include four dimensions: metacognitive, cognitive, motivational, and behavioral. Being able to understand the cultural background from which the other person communicates, as well as the values and behavioral norms influencing their practices, is essential for working in broad multicultural contexts.

What is a career script?

The career script serves as a kind of guide that individuals draw upon to make sense of their professional situation and to build their career paths. This guide consists of three components: interpretive frameworks that give shared meaning to individual career actions, resources that both enable and constrain those actions, and norms that legitimize or sanction them. The career script is a conceptual framework for understanding the dual nature of careers. Career scripts are shaped by social structure and transformed by the individuals who engage with them, through a process of mutual and simultaneous influence.

What is a career?

A career is the succession of positions held over the course of a professional life. It results from individual choices driven by the need for both professional and personal development. A career also reflects organizational management practices and, through the internal and external mobility it enables, serves as a key lever in job and skills management. Finally, a career expresses social and normative rules that shape perceptions, guide behavior, and frame management practices. In this sense, a career is a multi-level concept—this is what makes it both rich and complex.

What is digital citizenship?

The concept of citizenship is complex, multidimensional, and can be understood at different levels. Citizenship can indeed be seen as a status—that of being a citizen. This status arises both from official recognition by the State and from the individual’s acceptance of the community’s codes, in other words, their duties, rights, and freedoms. But citizenship is also an attitude, an ideal, or even a virtue for some—one that reflects a sense of commitment and a perceived and assumed individual responsibility toward the community, whether through decision-making (such as voting in an election) or through everyday behavior.

What is the anthropocene?

The Anthropocene refers to an era in which human activities are profoundly disrupting the planet's natural balance, threatening life on Earth. In response to this reality, companies must urgently rethink their strategies by integrating biophysical and climate data. Yet many continue to overlook these sciences, relying instead on economic projections that are disconnected from ecological constraints. This disconnect further exacerbates planetary imbalances, and failing to account for Earth's limits has now become a matter of strategic irresponsibility.

What is strategy?

Military strategy was born at the same time in China and Greece, nearly 2,500 years ago. It was only very recently (at the beginning of the 20th century) that strategy was applied to the fields of management and business, gradually evolving into what is now known as "strategic management." Drawing from various disciplines in the humanities and life sciences, several academic approaches to strategic management have progressively emerged: strategy as adaptation, positioning, or intention. Today, strategic management—alongside other disciplines—is called upon to address the major challenges of our time (natural resources, biodiversity, energy, climate, health, etc.).

What is employer branding?

The concept of employer brand refers to the set of benefits associated with a job that help identify a company as an employer (employer brand), but also to the management activity of the employer brand (employer branding), which aims to articulate the company’s employer brand in order to appear as both an attractive and distinctive employer compared to competitors.
