Abstract

This study questions the transformative potential of the employee directors (ED) on corporate governance by examining the sociological mechanisms that shape this dispositive. The study is based on 11 semi-structured interviews conducted in 2021 with ED of large French companies. Our results, informed by the Bourdieu?s concepts of ?field? and ?capital?, show that entering the field of power generates a high entry cost for the ED. Occupying a position of ?dominant-dominated? within this new field, the ED are forced to adopt the codes of the dominant actors. A struggle then appears between the EDs who act, despite everything, to have an effect in the field and the other administrators who put in place actions to avoid a reconfiguration of the field.
