Titre :  Irrationality and organization, a fruitful duality
Numéro :  48
Année :  2013
Volume :  XIX
Auteur(s) :  Damien DANDELOT, Faouzi BENSEBAA
Résumé :  This paper examines the necessity and complementarity of irrationality in the organization context. Indeed, informal, and irrational can accompany it, is in our opinion, not a component of the organization, but an object that lives and exists in equipollence of the actual and rationality. Both influence each other and allow both the evolution and change of each other’s existence. However, it should be noted that this paper focuses on the characteristics of the relationship between the rational and the irrational. The main purpose here is to show that although a prima facie it may seem that irrational acts against the organizational rationality in a desire to transgress it, irrationality may also seek to digress rationality in order to make change where it would not have thought to go. In this vein, the philosophy of concrete is solicited to indicate that the organization and its rational intention can be conceived as equipollent and thus as complementary. Returning to the basic concepts of the WE and I, the research aims to reconstruct the process that allows the organization to exist, and live by itself through the individual, in order to highlight the inseparability and indissociability relationship. Therefore, the individual actions (rational or not) are not and cannot always be understood as a willingness of transgression of the social reality, but rather as a willingness of digression. In other words, beyond the conception of the gift, there is another conception that moves towards something that is not possible to trade or exchange.
