Abstract

The aim of this paper is to understand how individuals involved in contemporary firms characterized by managerial optimization practices may safeguard the conditions necessary for collective living praxis to happen. Michel Henry's concept of "living praxis" is a form of cooperation which satisfies life basic needs and increases the individuals' powers to act. The empirical material comes from a field study conducted in a large airport retailer company illustrating how the roles assigned to management accountants and operational managers are sometimes hindering and sometimes supporting living praxis. Gély's concept of "character" defined as the dynamic encounter of an individual and his/her role (2007) will help us identify the necessary conditions for collective living praxis to happen.
