Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to ‘conceive' the organization, either it is a question of perceiving it as an ‘object' (organization) or as a process (organizing), using concepts related to sexuality, with an assumed partiality. It is not a question to make of this working hypothesis a ‘sufficient' hypothesis, which would allow to understand everything. But it is here question to use a hypothesis, which allows to ‘try' other aspects than those that are currently used in Organization Science. With this attempt, we will also try to avoid to stay on a metaphoric level, level which would consist of playing with words. The attempts made here have the ambition of going beyond a metaphoric use of concepts related to sexuality. After having briefly presented what is meant when we speak of an organizational model, the conceptual operator of this modelling process will be presented (the comprehensive trilogy ‘ambiguity, ambivalence, exhibition') before being able to formulate the outlines of a sadomasochistic model of the organization.
