Abstract

Cet article propose une analyse du mouvement de responsabilité sociale des entreprises (RSE) au regard des changements ayant affecté la relation salariale dans l’industrie chinoise. Alors que d’importantes lois censées régir l’usage du travail ont été promulguées depuis les années 1990, la faiblesse des droits collectifs octroyés aux travailleurs se pose toujours en obstacle au respect des réglementations en vigueur. Dans ce contexte de blocage institutionnel, le mouvement de RSE peut s’interpréter comme une tentative d’élaboration d’un niveau de règles intermédiaires, depuis l’entreprise. Mais dans leur grande majorité, les règles privées promues par les firmes multinationales (FMN) sont largement déconnectées de la pratique des acteurs et ne contribuent pas significativement à la stabilisation des règles encadrant la relation salariale. À partir d’un travail d’enquête, nous montrons que l’émergence de nouveaux acteurs dans le champ de la RSE pourrait annoncer un renouvellement de ce mouvement. À côté de l’approche basée sur les codes de conduite, apparaissent des dispositifs basés sur l’« expertise » ou promouvant la participation des travailleurs. En définitive, l’avenir de la place de la RSE dans la configuration de la relation salariale reste ouvert.
