The research day organized by the RIPCO, took place as planned on Friday, June 17, 2022. This year's theme was health behaviours and the health of organizations and individuals. It was also an opportunity to show once again the excellent health of the RIPCO since 49 papers were presented by a total of 93 contributors. This excellent dynamic is the work of its editorial team but also of the logistical team of ICN Business School, the ten workshop moderators, and the four guests of honor : Professor Emeritus Anne Langley of HEC Montreal, Serge Kebabtchieff CEO of Editions Eska, Florence Legros Director General of ICN Business School and unwavering supporter of the journal, and finally, Franck Bournois President of Scientific Advisory Board. Anne Langley showed in her closing lecture the multiplicity of possible metaphors to understand the process of the recent health crisis.
Three communications were particularly distinguished during this day:
- For the best paper on the focus of the day, "Job crafting: what proactive behaviors of caregivers to cope with the role tensions generated by the Covid crisis" by Christelle Routelous, Myra SADER and Anne-Lise Le Hesran from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Santé Publique (EHESP),
- For the best communication in organizational behavior, "Identity threat and strategy in work environment" by Kate Yue Zhang and Robert Earhart from the American University of Paris,
- For young researchers, "Being seen at a distance: issues of digital visibility and psychosocial risks in a pandemic context" by Claire Estagnasie from UQAM (Canada).
More generally, the quality of all the communications fueled high quality debates throughout the day. They should result in a special issue of the RIPCO. Next year, the entire academic community will be invited to attend a conference on the social and societal responsibilities of organizations.

RIPCO launches a new special issue: The inclusive organization
Inclusion has become a central issue for organizations in terms of CSR, employer image and management (Kele et al., 2022). In this special issue, we will value all types of theoretical or empirical contributions, quantitative, qualitative or both. Several levels of analysis, micro-, meso- and macro-organizational (Adamson et al, 2021) can be proposed, the goal being to have a global but also fine understanding of the inclusive organization. First of all, contributions around the conditions that foster a sense of inclusion are expected. A second type of contribution is expected in a comparison of the concept of inclusion and organizational behaviors as well as the social performance of organizations. The contributions can also, to some extent, be articulated around the power dynamics at play around the inclusive organization. Through this special issue, we hope to promote research that evokes the discourse and practices of inclusion, but also to show how inclusive politics takes shape within organizational contexts and to what extent the integration of different singularities is feasible. We hope that this special issue will help answer many of the questions listed below: 1. How has the shift from diversity management to inclusion changed organizational perceptions, behaviors and practices? 2. How is the "all-inclusive" discourse relevant and what reality(s) does it represent? 3. What form(s) do the discourses and practices of inclusion take in different organizational, sectoral and cultural contexts? 4. How does the concept of inclusion question the notion of power within organizations? 5. How does inclusion manifest itself in different contexts for different singularities? 6. What are the paradoxes of inclusion? What are the contours of the exclusion/inclusion equation?

Special Issue: Vol.XXIX, Num. CFP_SI_TELETRAVAIL ( 2023)
From telework to hybridity: a new way of thinking about our organizations?
All around the world, the Covid-19 health crisis has forced companies to reorganize work abruptly, quickly and deeply, and telework has become a systematic work modality for many employees in a few days. This increase in telework is likely to continue. Indeed, if telework is a suitable answer to confinement and crisis situations, it also answers other demands of our society, such as the will to reduce real estate costs for companies, the ecological and economical wish to reduce travels, or the expectations of employees in terms of life balance and autonomy. This evolution is underway, but it is not without profoundly changing the way we work, both individually and collectively. This special issue aims at answering the different empirical and theoretical questions that arise around the capa ...
