The world of work is changing. The employment contract, which to a large extent determined the working relationship between employees and employers, is no longer the only means of organizing work. Alternative work arrangements are booming. In the USA, 0.5% of the entire workforce in 2015 was already participating in crowd work via platforms (Katz and Krueger, 2019), while crowd work represents the main employment of 2% of the entire workforce in 14 European countries (Pesole et al., 2018).
Yet the vast majority of management theories are based on traditional, 9-to-5 notions of employment relationships (Cappeli and Keller, 2013). Such a disconnect with empirical realities risks management and organization studies unconsciously ignoring new issues. We seek to evaluate and update the psychological contract, a major management theory, to understand alternative work arrangements.

Nous avons eu le plaisir de coordonner ensemble pendant 3 ans les séminaires du CEFAG. Le CEFAG, c’est un programme de formation doctorale développé par la FNEGE depuis près de quarante ans, sous forme de 3 séminaires résidentiels d’une semaine. Il accueille chaque année une douzaine de doctorants sélectionnés au plan national. Dans cet ouvrage, nous avons voulu raconter pour partager (même si cela reste nécessairement partiel) ce qui se joue en termes d’apprentissage et d’expérience durant ces séminaires.
