| Résumé : |
Paradoxes are an integral part of organisational life and therefore a real challenge for organisations, as shown by the many studies that, since the end of the 1980s, have sought to understand how these paradoxes can be managed. A number of studies in this field consider conciliation as a response to paradoxes. But conciliation, which actually refers to heterogeneous methods of managing paradoxes, is not systematically explained. Also noting that there is no definition of the notion of conciliation in management sciences, this article proposes to use a metaphor in order to understand conciliation as a mode of managing paradoxes. To that respect, we will use a methaphorical process to examine legal conciliation, which is an alternative dispute resolution method based on the search for arrangements, in order to shed light on the mechanisms of conciliation as a response to organisational paradoxes. The article aims to answer the following question: how does the use of a metaphor based on legal conciliation allow us to explore conciliation as a way of managing paradoxes? To this purpose, we transfer meaning from a known source object (legal conciliation) to a target object that we wish to explore (conciliation for managing paradoxes). Exploring this metaphorical comparison finally makes it possible to bring out the meaning of conciliation as an active response to paradoxes, allowing the coexistence of contradictory forces. The article thus provides managers and their teams with a grid for understanding how conciliation operate, in order to facilitate its implementation when facing paradoxes. |
