Abstract

(VF)Dans la mesure où elle peut avoir une incidence sur la création de valeur, les capital investisseurs (CI) sont susceptibles d’intervenir dans la gestion des ressources humaines (GRH) des entreprises qu’ils financent. La littérature montre une implication des CI au niveau de la stratégie et de la gestion financière, mais peu d’études se sont intéressées spécifiquement à leur influence sur la GRH. Cette recherche vise par conséquent à mieux comprendre quelles sont les dimensions de la GRH influencées par les CI, comment s’opère cette influence (logiques disciplinaires et cognitives) et quelles sont les réactions des dirigeants des entreprises concernées (réactance psychologique et enracinement). La partie empirique consiste en une étude longitudinale de onze cas d’entreprises financées par CI. Des entretiens semi-directifs ont été menés auprès des représentants de quatre sociétés de CI et des onze dirigeants d’entreprises appartenant à leurs portefeuilles de participation.(VA)As Human Resource Management (HRM) can influence value creation, Venture Capitalists (VCs) are supposed to be involved in HRM of their financed firms. Literature shows that VCs have some influence on strategy and finance, but few studies deal with their impact on HRM. This research analyzes the aspects and the way (disciplinary and cognitive way) of VCs’ influence on HRM, and the CEO’s reactions (psychological reactance and entrenchment). Empirical data has been collected through a longitudinal qualitative study of eleven cases of firms financed by VCs. Interviews have been conducted with four VCs and eleven CEOs of their portfolio.
