La société à mission comme dispositif d’alignement de l’engagement organisationnel[La société a mission comme dispositif d’alignement de l’engagement organisationnel : enjeux, tensions et mécanismes de régulation]

Employee engagement is a key issue for companies, which often face dynamics of disengagement and tensions stemming from a loss of purpose at work. This article analyzes the extent to which the "société à mission" status can influence such engagement. To this end, we examine how the various mechanisms specific to mission-driven companies foster coherence in their internal engagement systems while helping to manage internal tensions. These tensions include, in particular, risks associated with a lack of organizational alignment with the mission or potential over-engagement. We thus highlight the role these mechanisms play in preventing such risks.
