| Résumé : |
This article describes how employees resisted a collective space imposed by the management of an international banking group. By depriving this space of their regular presence, they prevented it from emerging as a place in its own right, thus transforming it into a non-place. Thanks to an original methodology combining research in the organization’s archives and documentary study, interviews and non-participant field observations, the authors were able to better understand the mechanisms of spatial resistance at work, and propose in this article the analysis of an organizational failure in a new workplace’s creation. The case studied by the authors shows different practices of resistance to an imposed space which was supposed to become a place of major importance. From this observation, the authors support the idea that Marc Augé’s concept of non-place (1992) should be more often mobilized in management sciences because it offers a particularly relevant reading grid at a time when organizations multiply collective spaces supposed to federate employees and optimize their skills. |
