Abstract

Nous sommes entrés dans l'ère des sociétés de la connaissance qui nous amène à considérer les activités de recherche avec une acuité nouvelle. Exercée jusqu'alors en marge de la société productive, la recherche s'est vue demandée des comptes sur son efficacité et son utilité. Les chercheurs sont devenus " accountable " (Osterloh et al., 2008). Des pratiques de contrôle qui existaient déjà se sont durcies, professionnalisées et institutionnalisées. Dans le cadre de cet article, nous chercherons à convaincre le lecteur qu'elles se sont bureaucratisées, c'est-à-dire que les règles de contrôle l'ont parfois emporté sur les finalités du contrôle. La logique de fonctionnement l'emporte sur la logique de mission et déclenche des effets secondaires pervers. En décortiquant les mécanismes pervers de ce contrôle nous montrerons qu'apparaissent les critiques usuelles des processus de mise sous tension de la performance. Nous conclurons que, malgré tout, ces dérives ne sont pas inévitables.
