Abstract

[eng] Abstract : To what extent can the simple quantitative analysis of Personnel records go beyond the traditional, impressionistic, description of career profiles within the firm ? This is one of the issues addressed by this article, proposing as it does to compute, for the population of draughtsmen employed by the Schneider factory at Le Creusot, such indicators as age when recruited against initial training and educations, age at each successive promotion, length of intervals between promotions... Graduates form the Ecoles des Arts et Métiers (Polytechnic Schools) enjoy better career prospects and faster promotion than is the case for students who did not go beyond Groupe Spécial ltvel at Le Creusot. Compared with the norm for France, the Schneider context ensures, for such young graduates, the achievement of a decidedly more then decent career, even though prospects of rising to the top of the hierarchical ladder remain scarce. [fre] Résumé : Dans quelle mesure l'analyse quantitative simple des registres du personnel permet-elle de dépasser la traditionnelle description impressionniste des carrières dans l'entreprise ? C'est l'une des questions auxquelles l'auteur tente ici de répondre en proposant de calculer, pour la population des dessinateurs de l'usine Schneider du Creusot, des indicateurs tels que l'âge à l'embauche suivant la formation initiale, l'âge à chacune des promotions, la durée des intervalles entre promotions... Les diplômés des Ecoles des Arts et Métiers connaissent une carrière à la fois plus rapide et plus brillante que les élèves qui n'ont pas dépassé le niveau du Groupe Spécial du Creusot. Par rapport à l'ensemble français, l'entreprise Schneider offre à ces jeunes diplômés l'assurance de réussir une carrière plus qu'honorable, même s'il est rarissine d'y atteindre le sommet de la hiérarchie.
