Are we just rational beings when at work? Over the last years, especially with the development of mobile technologies, work seems to be there at all time, in all locations, leading both companies and employees to reflect on work-life balance.
These trends have been fully explored but what about the other side of the story? Is there something else than work at work? Are employees trying to find a new equilibrium by inviting their personal life during their working hours?
This research project aims at studying people’s relationship with their everyday life at work and to analyze how personal organization can constitute a meaningful resource to maintain some balance.

What are the impacts of digital transformations on the HR function? Has digitalization changed the repartition of activities between HR professionals and the proximity managers? What types of HR missions/activities/tools will be digitalized in the future? To deepen these questions, an ambitious survey involving HR managers from BNP Paribas and Safran was launched, with a specific methodology (Delphi Method). In order to shape the future of the HR function more precisely, it is vital to better understand how HR professionals view themselves, their roles and their positions. This joint initiative of the chairs "Reinventing work" and "Une Usine pour le Futur" aims at understanding the future of digitalization for HR and HR managers today, but also tomorrow.

Workplace flexibility has grown increasingly popular for years and even more so since the outbreak of the pandemic. However, research results regarding the influence of flexible working on employee well-being are inconclusive. This is partly due to studies overlooking that flexible working is embedded in the way work is conducted and that it is ambivalent. Indeed, flexibility is sometimes experienced as a perk given by the organization, that may allow the employee to go to the doctor in the middle of the day. Other times it is experienced as a contribution the employee makes towards their organization, for example by working late to meet clients demands. Thus, individual experiences of flexibility may vary a lot. In any case, employees can have an active role in the construction and interpretation of flexibility. This project aims to investigate dynamic and idiosyncratic employee experiences of flexible working and how such experiences are connected to their well-being.

Teleworking is more and more common inside organizations but may still have negative impacts on the teleworker's performance perception. Indeed, to be or not seen during the working hours influences the reliability and the commitment associated with the worker. The question is then on how to limit telework's drawbacks, i.e. how to overcome the lack of face time associated with telecommuting? Different options are considered by companies including the use of telepresence robots, allowing the teleworkers to be visible in the office … while being physically absent! In this research project, the aim is to examine the usage of telepresence robot technology and its impact on the worker perception.

The world of work is changing. The employment contract which determined to a large extent the employment relationship between employees and employers is no longer the only go-to way to organise work. Alternative work arrangements are on the rise. In the US, 0.5% of the entire workforce in 2015 was already involved in crowd work through platforms (Katz and Krueger, 2019) while crowd work represents the main job for 2% of the entire workforce in 14 countries in Europe (Pesole et al., 2018). Yet, the vast majority of management theories are based on notions of traditional, 9 to 5, employment relationships (Cappeli and Keller, 2013). Such a disconnection with empirical realities risks management and organisation studies unconsciously ignoring new issues. We seek to assess and update the psychological contract, a major management theory, to understand alternative work arrangements.

Drawing on the Foucauldian technologies of the self, this study explores how individuals re-envision practices of wellbeing outside of traditional organizational contexts during extreme events. Based on a thematic analysis of 7,234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of “corporate wellness” beyond organizational boundaries.

Shame is an emotional experience that occurs when you fail to meet the expectations of others and end up with a negative image of yourself that makes you perceive yourself to be inferior or weak to others. Shame does not only happen when we do something in front of others, but it can also happen when someone in our group does something that makes us look bad. Shame can arise for individual or collective actions.

Impostor syndrome is a phenomenon well studied by psychologists. It is predominant among people with exceptional skills, and also very common among women. This can happen for a variety of reasons, but two factors seem very important: family dynamics and pressure to perform at work. Impostor’s syndrome can have significant consequences not only for the person suffering from it, but also for those around them.

Frustration is a very common negative emotional experience at work in a client environment that can occur in a variety of circumstances, usually present when our goals are blocked, and there is some degree of uncertainty about the causes of the problem, that we think this is unfair, that we can’t control it. What happens once you feel frustrated is that you can either “drop out” or persevere, and what you do in terms of actions to take may depend on personal and environmental factors.
