Les répertoires idéologiques en management. Entre idéologies managériales et stratégies individuelles dans les organisations

This conceptual article proposes a new framework for examining ideologies in management. While ideology is depicted in social sciences as a coherent set of ideas, a whole body of literature in organization underlines the great flexibility of individual practices. It therefore seems necessary to specify ideology as an ideal substrate with a divisible content, and to establish the mediating concept of ideological repertoire, an individual catalogue of various ideological items strategically mobilized by the members of organizations. This extended framework raises some theoretical and empirical implications that are discussed here.
