| Résumé : |
Corruption is a very popular topic in France and abroad. However, few academic studies have been conducted on this topic. Leaving aside hypocritical practices, we focus on practices of strategic ambiguity, particularly those of business clients in France. Similarly, we focus on the responses - rarely studied until now - of employees to these ambiguity strategies, which may lead to situations of corruption. Based on the results of a recent longitudinal study on the Italian mafia, the purpose of this article is twofold: (1) to examine theoretically the ambiguity strategies of certain organisations, and (2) to consider the responses of employees to these strategies during business relations with companies. In doing so, we detail and illustrate the different forms that this strategic ambiguity can take, namely opacity which prevents easy understanding, equivocality which uses the diversity of rationalising discourses and absurdity which favours paradoxical reasoning. In the course of our reflection, we also address the issue of organisational silence, while highlighting its implications and limits for the individuals concerned. We base our work on a research-intervention conducted in 2020 in the banking sector with 423 people, mainly managers and top executives, which gave rise to almost one hundred hours of interviews and 31 group interviews.
