Abstract

[fre] Cet article exploite une enquête représentative des établissements français de plus de 20 salariés pour étudier les relations entre la réduction de la durée du travail (RTT) et les changements organisationnels. Dans les années 90, la RTT semble s’inscrire dans une dynamique d’adaptation de l’organisation du travail au contexte technologique. Les établissements réduisent le temps de travail pour approfondir l’innovation organisationnelle, à travers le développement de la polyvalence et du juste à temps. Les unités intensives en technologie de l’information et de la communication anticipent la réduction légale. [eng] ShorterWorking Hours And Organisational Innovation Dynamics : Evidence from France During the Nineties. . This article uses a survey of French establistment with 20 or more employees to study the connections between shorter working hours and organisational changes. In the nineties, shorter working hours seemed part of an effort to adapt the work organisation to the technological environment, initially by investing in information and communication technologies and subsequently by reducing working hours and extending organisational innovation through multitasking and just-in-time techniques.
