Abstract

Les établissements d'hospitalisation sont incités par la puissance publique à une transformation de leurs pratiques managériales. L'évolution de la gestion des ressources humaines de ces organisations est alors considérée comme nécessaire. Le cas d'une clinique chirurgicale française permet de décrire comment le contexte est utilisé par les managers pour justifier des pratiques de GRH de type individualisant sans pour autant remettre en question le pouvoir des soignants porteurs d'une autre conception de gestion du personnel. Le cadre d'analyse contextualiste rarement appliqué dans ses deux dimensions, politique et culturelle, permet de comprendre la situation paradoxale, relevée par la littérature, de soignants réussissant à maintenir leur pouvoir sur la GRH, en contrariant l'introduction de pratiques de type individualisant, malgré un contexte défavorable. Nous expliquons comment les processus politique et culturel sont responsables du caractère hybride de la GRH dans ces organisations professionnelles. Hospitals have been incited by governments to transform their managerial practices. The changes in human resource management have come to be considered necessary. The case of French surgical clinic allows to describe the context in which HRM individualized practices are introduced and how context is used by managers to justify practices like individualizing HRM when the power and the culture of caregivers are contested. The analytical contextualist framework, rarely applied in both political and cultural dimensions, allows an understanding of the paradoxical situation noted by the literature: caregivers managing to maintain their power on HRM, by opposing the introduction of individualizing practices despite an adverse environment. We explain how political and cultural process are responsible for the hybrid nature of HRM in these professional organizations.
