| Résumé : |
In the current context of digital transformation of the functioning modes and designs of the organizations, the purpose of this paper is to rethink the concept of rationality in order to provide new insights on how the choices made individually by social actors could contribute to shape sociotechnical change at the organizational and societal levels. We propose a theoretical synthesis of the principal conceptions of rationality in social sciences. That is, the dominant theory of rational choice and other critical approaches developed, among others, by Foucault, Habermas, Boudon, and Archer. Particularly, the paper revisits and reconciles the views developed by the latter two authors. Boudon preconizes an enlarged conception of rationality (called ordinary), as developed by Weber (1922) including the instrumentalist, normative and representational dimensions. We propose to associate the reflexivity modes to this model developed by Archer (2003) to define a new approach: the reflexive ordinary rationality, which is based upon three underpinning ideas: (1) The unit of analysis of social action is the individual ; (2) Social structures affect and are affected by individual actions ; (3) Behind each individual action, there is a system of reasons related to certain reflexivity modes that we can define. Hence, this paper proposes a new analytical framework to study the current and future sociotechnical changes related to the interactions between individuals and digital technologies. |
