A Pragmatic Analysis of Flirtations and Their Functions in Characterization in Gone with the Wind: A Case Study of Scarlett
Authors: Wu Xiaoqin
Published: November 2016

Scarlett O’Hara in Gone with the Wind has left a deep impression for her coping attitude towards romance, marriage and business. It is interesting that these three aspects of her life are more or less related to her flirtations with men. The characteristic language in those flirtations makes a perfect material for her personality analysis. In this paper, the flirtations by Scarlett in Gone with the Wind is analyzed in the framework of the conversational implicature and relevance theory with an aim to demonstrate how such violations of cooperative principle function in the characterization of the protagonist as well as the development of plot and theme. Ultimately this paper is to illustrate how such pragmatic analysis may contribute to literary criticism. Flirtation is the explicit violation of cooperative principle under which a traditionally successful communication is yielded. However, a large number of successful communications have also been found although they violate this principle, especially in literary works. Such violations are ideal materials to study the personalities of communicators. Through a detailed analysis of four classic violations of maxims, Scarlett’s personality in Gone with the Wind is scrutinized, social causes of such personality are explained and the novelist’s intention to promote women consciousness and independence is discovered.

Authors: Yasin Mohamad , Al-Suhail Hussein , Mohammed Ahmed
Published: November 2016

The study attempts to assess the awareness of morphemic knowledge among Iraqi high schoollearners in the domain of English Foreign Language (EFL) context. Two tests were employed in this study namely, “Morphological Relatedness Test (MRT)” and “Morphological Structure Test (MST)” adopted and adapted from Curinga (2014). These two tests are essential and crucial instruments employed to measure the students’ morphemic knowledge for this research. The students’ ability was measured by the two tests to reflect and manipulate morphologically complex derived words in English. Twenty Iraqi high schoolstudents were involved to achieve the purpose of the study. The study analysis disclosed that the participants accomplished poorly in both tests of MRT and MST. The findings also revealed that there was no significant difference between the students’ performance on MRT and MST. They were unable to reflect and manipulate efficiently. However, the students’ performance on reflective aspect was a little higher than manipulative aspect. It is true that Iraqi students are suffering from the phenomenon of the morphemic knowledge. They indeed need to be aware of the importance of the morphemic knowledge because this knowledge can drive to construct new words and deconstruct the complex words in addition to the reading comprehension.
Belief & Reliance: Mythic Ground for an Honor-Dignity Binary
Authors: Herrman C.
Published: November 2016

A structuralist definition might well treat of religion in this way: A system of myth incorporating explanations of reality that grounds normative metaphysical outlooks as well as affirming conduct in conformity with social integrity, and which is maintained as authoritative both because of and by means of sacrality. This paper argues that myth directs the social weltanschauung with a stress variously upon honor and dignity. These two terms thus form a parent analytical binary supporting subsidiary cognate pairs termed “dimensions” that describe the means by which social institutions apply mythic content toward (on behalf of) honor or dignity.It argues further that certain social structures express mythic-derived norms from biosocial substrates manifesting via drift potentials that in turn express as dimensional sub-traits of honor or dignity. This is what we refer to as a “belief-reliance system”. Belief in myth generates reliance in/upon the institutions translating myth into norms.A sufficient understanding of these elements should enable a vastly improved understanding of local and international culture. The paper is divided between an explanation of core concepts and conclusions, the latter including applications of the concepts in the description of culture, as well as the use of the concepts to engage cultures in conflict resolution.
Struggle for Seizing the Day and the Sick Love in To His Coy Mistress by Andrew Marvell: An Anti-Platonic Reading
Authors: Babamiri Navid
Published: November 2016

Platonic love refers to a kind of love that has no relationship with the negative mode of sexuality that is completely free of it especially in poetry. In Plato’s dialogue the Symposium it has been examined that Vulgar Eros is nothing but mere material attraction towards a beautiful body for physical pleasure, which Plato does not agree. Divine Eros, on the other side, begins the journey from physical attraction i.e., attraction towards beautiful form or body but transcends gradually to love for Supreme Beauty. Moreover; it implies active concern for the virtue and goodness of another soul, founded on the love of Goodness; it also implies sexuality, since sexuality finds its purpose in the intercourse of man and woman for the procreation of the children and the continuation of race (Allen, p. x). Based on this theory this research paper tries to show the theme of Anti- Platonic in the selected carpe diem poem, a poem which does not coincides to Plato’s theory but also objects to it too. Furthermore; it tries to shed light on the Anti-Platonic love that Marvell has it done by referring to the erotic love which is included in the frame of his works through symbols and other literary devices.

The Relationship between Teachers’ School Commitment and School Culture
Authors: KIRAL Erkan , KACAR Omer
Published: November 2016

The study, which aims to put forth the relationship between school commitment and school culture, is designed on causal-comparative, relational survey model. The study group is composed of 150 voluntary teachers working in Aydin. In the research, “organizational culture” and “organizational commitment” scales are used. In the analysis of the data, descriptive and proof testing statistical techniques are used. At the end of the study, it is found that teachers have affective commitment perceptions at the highest level, and bureaucratic culture perceptions at the lowest. While the perceptions of the teachers related to school commitment and culture does not show any significant difference according to their gender, educational status and specialty; these perceptions show a significant difference according to seniority, type of school, and length of service at the same school. It is detected that affective commitment is predicted by task culture; continuance commitment is predicted by achievement and support culture; and normative commitment is predicted by support culture significantly. All the dimensions of organizational culture predict affective commitment at the highest level. Together with the fact that school culture is an effective factor in teachers’ commitment to their school, some suggestions are given towards developing school culture based on especially support and achievement culture.

Authors: Adeniran James A. , Adekunle Binuyo A.
Published: November 2016

This study assesses the relationship between dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction from the perspectives of passengers that travel through Nigerian airports. Survey methodology was adopted for the study. Cross-sectional data were collected at four International airports with the aid of structured questionnaire. The questionnaire was administered to 600 passengers across Lagos, Abuja, Kano and Port-Harcourt airports with 71% response rate. Regression analyses reveal that although the relationship between each of the dimensions of service quality and customer satisfaction is significant at 5%, the multiple correlation coefficient ranges from weak to moderate thus suggesting that the dimensions of service quality requires further enhancement for customers satisfaction to be improved upon by the Airport Authority in Nigeria. The study advocate decisive action by the Airport Authority in Nigeria to initiate policies geared at enhancing dimensions of service quality for improved customer satisfaction at various Nigerian Airports.

Authors: Ansari Mohammad Sultan Ahmad , Farooquie Jamal Ahmad , Gattoufi Said M.
Published: November 2016

A research study was initiated to investigate the impact of emotional intelligence on employees’ satisfaction and loyalty, and how it influences operational efficiency in telecom service industry in Oman. A questionnaire-based survey was conducted and the responses received were tested with various statistical techniques. These test results were found to be in broad agreement with the assumptions widely prevalent in management literature and service industries.

The findings suggest that emotional intelligence contributes significantly in improving internal performance. Employees are valuable assets and improved internal performance is due to employees’ commitment. Service industry could take care of employees, keep them satisfied to win their loyalty, which can be achieved through regular employees’ engagement and involvement. Engaged employees value customers’ expectations and build better relationship. Satisfied and loyal employees are in a position to deliver high service quality and improved productivity. The service provider shall continuously monitor service quality to maintain end users’ satisfaction. It can be sustained through employees’ continuous training and skills development that will improve operational efficiency of the company in terms of increased sales and profitability. Thus, the present study provides an empirical validation and confirmation of the propositions and hypotheses about how service providers should manage employees’ emotional intelligence for giving them satisfaction, winning their loyalty, thereby, eventually enhancing service values, operational efficiency and profitability of the company.

Comparative Financial Analysis of Water Utilities in West Africa
Authors: Fritsch Rémi
Published: November 2016

Access to drinking water is a major issue in large cities of West Africa. Governments have a difficult equation to solve. They obviously want to offer their people the cheapest cubic meter. But they are constrained by an ambition to extend the water systems to less wealthy neighbourhoods as well as to provide sanitation services, in a context of very limited public funds. How to fix an acceptable tariff, taking into account the necessary required investments?

The study presented in this paper provides a financial analysis of water utilities in West Africa. It allows a comparison of performances on a number of key financial ratios related to operations, investment, bank financing and economic and financial returns. It ends with a comparison of tariff.

The conclusion focuses on the growth opportunity the water sector could represent in these countries. But this opportunity may only materialize if the EBITDA margin on water sales remains high. The options are limited: a periodic re-evaluation of tariffs or an improvement of technical performances. The comparative financial analysis attempts to highlight which is the most appropriate for each country.
Solid Waste Management Trends in Nigeria
Authors: Amasuomo Ebikapade , Baird Jim
Published: November 2016

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the current trend of solid waste management in Nigeria and to identify the major challenges inhibiting the attainment of sustainable solid waste management in the country. The study relied on a desktop study approach; hence, data were obtained from previous publications relevant to the current study, particularly from peer reviewed publications. Sources such as waste management agencies websites, reports and documents, journal articles, environmental organizations reports and books were also used to obtain information and data.

It was found that solid waste management is a major concern in the country. Inadequate environmental policies and legislations, low level of environmental awareness, poor funding and inappropriate technology, corruption and unplanned development were some of the challenges facing solid waste management in the country. As a result, the paper concludes that for waste management to work, various aspects of Government services such as engineering, urban planning, Geography, economics, public health and law among others must be brought together under a proper policy to deliver an effective waste management system.
The EU Policy to Attract Highly Skilled Workers: The Status of Implementation of the Blue Card Directive
Authors: Mazzeschi Marco
Published: November 2016

A worldwide shortage of about 38-40 million highly skilled workers is forecast by 2020. Many countries are implementing policies to attract workers with special skills and knowledge. What is the European Union doing to face this challenge? In 2009 the EU adopted the so called Blue Card Directive (n. 2009/50) to attract highly qualified workers from abroad, address labour and skills shortages and strengthen the EU’s competitiveness and economic growth. The Directive was implemented by most EU countries during 2012 but has proven to be insufficiently attractive and underused, with only a limited number of Blue Cards issued. For these reasons, the EU Commission has announced some proposed changes to the Blue Card Directive. The specific objectives are, amongst other things, to increase the numbers of third-country highly skilled workers immigrating to the EU and simplify and harmonise admission procedures for third-country highly skilled workers.

The article also outlines a summary of the current state of implementation of the Directive in the following countries: Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Austria, Belgium and The Netherlands.
The Characteristics of Retail Wastes in the City of Yenagoa, Nigeria
Authors: Amasuomo Ebikapade , Baird Jim
Published: November 2016

Wastes management is a clear strategy where wastes are channelled through processes that ensures proper storage, collection, transportation, treatment and disposal of wastes with ample consideration for environmental protection and public health. In Yenagoa where the current study was conducted, the lack of proper wastes management structure is apparent, particularly among retailers where samples were drawn from for the study. Little is known on the volume and characteristics of wastes produced by the retail sector in the city, like many other Nigerian cities.

The study employed a mixed method approach using closed and open-ended questionnaires in collecting data. In all about 900 questionnaires were collected and analysed for the study. Knowing that no proper waste management plan can be developed until the current practice, sources, components and volume of waste has been well understood. The use of qualitative methods in this paper helps to better understand and gather data on areas of interest. A multi stage cluster sampling technique was employed due to the unavailability of an up-to-date sampling frame in the area.

The findings from the study show that wastes materials produced by retailers in Yenagoa are mainly wastes paper, tins, cans, plastics, cardboard, furniture, wood products and possibly WEEE. However, plastics and cardboard materials were the dominant wastes materials produced by the retail sector. The study therefore concludes that there is a need to establish a wastes processing facility in Yenagoa with heavy emphasis on recycling.
The Concept of Waste and Waste Management
Authors: Amasuomo Ebikapade , Baird Jim
Published: November 2016

Several studies and researches have been conducted on the sources and characteristics of wastes as well as the possible adverse effect of inappropriate handling and best international practices. One thing that is still not clear however is what exactly constitutes a waste? How much do we know about what should be classed as waste? What are the historical contexts of waste managements? The present paper seeks to examine these vital questions with a view to providing answers from previous studies. The paper employed a desktop approach to provide answers to the research objectives. Specifically, the paper uses a descriptive approach to gather information from peer reviewed publications such as, journal articles, environmental organizations reports and books. It was found that, waste is to a large extent subjective in meaning as a substance can only be regarded as a waste when the owner labels it as such. This is particularly true because one individual may regard a substance as a waste, while another may view the same substance as a resource. Nevertheless, it was argued that there is a need to clearly define what constitute wastes as this form the basis for regulation.
Can focus groups be a tool for change? Introducing health equity to environmental public health practice
Authors: Rideout Karen , Oickle Dianne , Clement Connie
Published: November 2016

This qualitative investigation was undertaken to explore the value of focus group participation to introduce new concepts into practice within public health. Seven public health inspectors who participated in an earlier focus group study responded to follow-up questions designed to assess whether their participation in the original focus group sessions lead to changes in their thinking or practice. Findings suggest that focus group participation can provide an opportunity to start conversations about new concepts, highlight ways to put thoughts into action, validate how current practice supports broader goals, and identify gaps and next steps. Although an important tool for change, systematic change requires additional support at the organizational level to achieve full implementation. Further research into the use of focus groups as a tool for reflective practice is recommended.

El cáncer es una enfermedad rodeada de estigmas que afecta emocionalmente tanto a los pacientes como a susfamiliares. La presente investigación tuvo como objetivo aprehender las representaciones sociales del cáncer entre familiares de pacientes sometidos a tratamiento oncológico en un hospital de San Luís-Ma. Se trata de un estudio cualitativo exploratorio y descriptivo que siguió las concepciones de la teoría de las representaciones sociales. Los sujetos del estudio eran 102 familiares de pacientes en tratamiento oncológico ambulatorio; el muestro era aleatorio espontáneo. Los datos eran recogidos siguiendo la técnica de evocación libre de palabras y analizados con ayuda del software EVOC 2003. El análisis del cuadro de cuatro casilleros indicó que la representación del cáncer de los familiares era negativa, con las siguientes palabras: desesperación, dolor, miedo, muerte, sufrimiento, tratamiento y tristeza como núcleo central de las representaciones. La palabra esperanza era la primera periférica. El estudio sobre las representaciones sociales del cáncer entre familiares de pacientes oncológicos resultó ser de gran importancia pues mostró el sentimiento latente entre los familiares de los afectados por la enfermedad.

Se trata de un estudio de caso cualitativo cuyos datos fueron recogidos a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas a enfermeros y luego sometidos al análisis de contenido temático. Se reconoció que el objetivo principal del proceso de trabajo en la Acogida con Clasificación de Riesgo (ACCR) es darle prioridad al paciente con alto riesgo clínico, además de orientar a los usuarios, su esclarecimiento y comprobar los exámenes clínicos. El objeto del proceso de trabajo está relacionado con las quejas de los usuarios y su articulación con los instrumentos y conocimientos de la práctica profesional. La sensibilidad fue considerada como necesaria en la relación usuario - profesional, sobre todo el saber escuchar. El conocimiento, como tecnología blanda-dura, fue considerado como una extensión del profesional, capaz de orientar los cuidados. También se mencionaron las tecnologías duras. Todos los profesionales de la institución se destacaron como agentes del proceso de clasificación y se realzó que el enfermero era el clasificador. El producto final del trabajo no fue concebido como algo acabado, que se puede materializar como un objeto, sino como la propia prestación de la atención que se consume cuando se produce. En el proceso de trabajo de enfermería en la ACCR hay elementos y tecnologías que se relacionan entre sí. Hay una potencia interdisciplinaria, subjetividades y situaciones contextuales que prevalecen en el escenario y requieren mejoras en su proceso de trabajo.

Published: November 2016

El objeto del presente estudio fue caracterizar el contenido de los vídeos de venopunción periférica con catéter de plástico sobre la aguja compartidos en YouTube. Se trata de un estudio cuantitativo exploratorio descriptivo realizado en YouTube. En julio de 2014 se seleccionaron 81 vídeos disponibles en portugués que mostraban el procedimiento de punción venosa periférica con catéter de plástico sobre la aguja, sólo o asociado con terapia intravenosa. Los datos se recogieron en el sitio y se bajaron en Internet. Los videos seleccionados fueron codificados y organizados en el software de Microsoft Excel para ser analizados con estadística descriptiva. Los vídeos se caracterizan por haber sido producido, en su mayoría, por individuos (97,53%), con 964,041 visitas, un promedio de 12.203 visitas por vídeo, lo cual indica una significativa demanda de usuarios. La demostración del procedimiento se llevó a cabo con la grabación no sistematizada de clases prácticas (74,07%) y realizado en seres humanos (91,35%). Se concluye que, debido a inconsistencias de contenido e inadecuaciones del material digital, muchos videos no pueden ser indicados para propósitos educativos. Se sugiere investigar cómo los usuarios adquieren ese conocimiento e invertir en la producción de material digital de calidad para que los estudiantes puedan contar con fuentes fiables de consulta en Internet.

Este estudio tuvo como objetivo identificar los motivos que llevan a que personas mayores que se atienden en los servicios públicos de salud se dirijan a la guardia del hospital. Se trata de un estudio descriptivo de enfoque cuantitativo realizado en la guardia de un hospital del noroeste del Estado de Paraná. La población del estudio consistió en 191 adultos mayores, considerados como de no urgencia, a partir de la atención con clasificación de riesgo con estratificación en verde y azul. La recogida de datos se llevó a cabo de mayo a noviembre de 2015 por medio de una herramienta semiestructurada. Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la estadística descriptiva, con ayuda del programa estadístico Statistical Package for Social Sciences - (SPSS). Las principales razones para que estas personas se dirigieran a la guardia hospitalaria eran el horario de atención de las unidades básicas de salud (según el 32,9 % de los participantes), la falta de médicos en dichas unidades, (según un 30,3%) y el poder ser atendidos sin necesidad de pedir un turno (27,2%). Los resultados son sumamente importantes para señalar las acciones necesarias con el fin de reducir la distorsión en la demanda errónea del flujo de atención, propiciando la planificación y la reorganización en todos los niveles de la atención de la salud.

Rénover les grands ensembles ou développer le territoire ? Une mixité au filtre de l’action publique dans les banlieues populaires de l’agglomération de Bordeaux
Authors: Arpaillange Christophe , Augustin Jean-Pierre , Mandouze Daniel
Published: November 2016

Examiner l’usage et la traduction opérationnelle du référentiel de mixité sociale dans les politiques de rénovation urbaine en France, rend plus nettes les tensions entre les logiques d’une politique nationale centralisée et les démarches de développement local. L’étude, portant sur quatre communes de la banlieue de Bordeaux, repose sur des entretiens semi-directifs effectués sur plusieurs années avec les habitants et des entrevues avec les acteurs responsables des politiques publiques. Notre hypothèse se démarque des postulats proches d’une sociologie de la déploration qui insistent sur le rôle structurant et, quasi exclusif, de la politique de rénovation pour mettre l’accent sur l’apport du local. La construction de coalitions de développement en capacité d’articuler plusieurs politiques publiques permet de faire primer un projet territorial sur les prescriptions des politiques nationales. La mixité sociale est intégrée dans la rhétorique des projets et constitue un objectif fort de l’État et de ses agences. Les choix qui prévalent favorisent une déclinaison lente et différée de la mixité. Ce pilotage local, prudent, des transformations socio-urbaines, neutralise en partie la violence sociale induite par le renouvellement urbain. Il n’évite cependant pas les effets de l’hétérogénéité sociale, que la montée en puissance des pouvoirs d’agglomération au détriment de celui des maires peut aggraver.

À partir de l’étude de l’évolution sociale du centre rénové d’une ville de première couronne parisienne, Saint-Denis, cet article analyse les logiques de transformation sociale d’un quartier de banlieue dans lequel les classes moyennes ont, au cours des trois dernières décennies, largement laissé la place aux classes populaires. Il s’appuie d’une part sur une analyse statistique du peuplement du quartier et de son évolution et, d’autre part, sur une enquête par questionnaires et par entretiens auprès des habitants et des acteurs locaux. En montrant que les logiques de transformation peuvent être plus complexes et moins linéaires que les deux figures classiques majoritairement mises en avant dans les études urbaines, celle de la gentrification d’un côté et celle de la paupérisation ou ghettoïsation de l’autre, ce travail contribue à documenter la multiplicité des trajectoires observables. Il met l’accent sur les dynamiques sociales propres à un quartier d’habitat social de centre-ville. Il souligne en effet que, trois décennies après la conception et la mise en oeuvre de ce projet de mixité sociale, le peuplement du parc d’habitat social du quartier reste légèrement différent de celui du parc social de la ville, accueillant notamment plus de familles appartenant aux « petites » classes moyennes et moins de familles précarisées. À travers l’analyse des pratiques et des représentations des habitants, il montre que ce quartier, même s’il a perdu l’essentiel de sa mixité sociale initiale, se caractérise par une identité et par des formes de cohabitation et d’ancrage originales.
Anciens et nouveaux petits commerçants face à la transformation socioéconomique de deux anciens quartiers populaires montréalais1
Authors: Maltais Alexandre
Published: November 2016

Sur la base d’une enquête de terrain réalisée auprès de 50 anciens et nouveaux commerçants de deux quartiers centraux montréalais ayant été touchés dans les dernières décennies par une gentrification encore incomplète et inégalement distribuée sur le territoire, cet article rend compte et balise les rapports que les propriétaires d’établissements commerciaux développent et entretiennent avec la population de leur zone naturelle de chalandise. Dépassant les représentations caricaturales de nouveaux entrepreneurs conquérants et d’anciens commerçants dépassés, cet examen révèle des postures complexes où se confrontent les logiques de voisinage et celles de l’entreprise, suscitant même parfois des dilemmes moraux dans l’appréciation et dans les interactions avec trois catégories d’habitants : laclientèle-cible, lesindésirableset lesautres.
La diversité sur le palier. Catégorisations ordinaires d’un voisinage hétérogène à Genève
Authors: Felder Maxime
Published: November 2016

L’hétérogénéité de la population des centres urbains européens est souvent présentée comme une cohabitation de divers groupes (ethniques, nationaux, sociaux). L’article questionne cette perspective en se demandant comment — dans des immeubles dont la population reflète la mobilité internationale, les inégalités socioéconomiques mais aussi la diversification des modes de vie — les individus eux-mêmes perçoivent cette hétérogénéité. À travers des entretiens avec des résidents de quatre immeubles de Genève, j’analyse la manière dont ils décrivent leurs voisins. Plutôt que de les classer en groupes et de se référer à « nous » et à « eux », les interviewés combinent des catégories qui varient selon le voisin dont il est question. Toutefois, même pour les anciens résidents, certains voisins restent des inconnus dont ils ignorent jusqu’à l’existence. J’interprète ceci comme une conséquence de la grande hétérogénéité de la population étudiée, mais aussi de la moindre visibilité des voisins et de leurs activités, ainsi que de l’absence, à l’échelle des immeubles du moins, de réseaux de voisinage stables et soudés. Ainsi, loin d’être toujours des espaces d’interconnaissance, les immeubles s’apparentent à une juxtaposition d’espaces privés (les appartements) et quasi publics (les parties communes), où la coexistence passe par des formes de retenue et d’indifférence à l’égard des autres et de leurs différences.
Le développement de la réflexivité et de la pensée critique comme piliers à l’émergence de la créativité dans la formation des futurs travailleurs sociaux
Authors: Mercure Dominique , Rivard Sylvie
Published: November 2016

Le contexte de la pratique des travailleurs sociaux est rempli de multiples défis dont les formateurs universitaires doivent être conscients pour pouvoir s’appliquer à former des professionnels compétents, autonomes, critiques et capables de composer avec des problématiques et contextes de plus en plus complexes. Cet article expose les principes de la pensée critique et de la réflexivité qui ont été exploités dans le cadre d’une révision de programme de formation au 2e cycle en service social à l’Université Laurentienne. La démarche d’accompagnement pédagogique s’inspire précisément des quatre axes théoriques du modèle de Fook et Gardner (2007) pour permettre aux étudiants de développer les habiletés requises pour gérer la complexité de la pratique actuelle. Le travail d’analyse d’incidents critiques, le récit de pratique et la construction d’une carte conceptuelle seront explicités comme moyens pédagogiques pour amener les étudiants à mobiliser ces habiletés.
Profil du dirigeant et adhésion à l’argument économique de la responsabilité sociale en petite entreprise1
Authors: Courrent Jean-Marie , Spence Martine , Gherib Jouhaina
Published: November 2016

Plusieurs travaux récents portant sur la responsabilité sociale et le développement durable dans les petites entreprises ont montré que les dirigeants des entreprises de petite taille adoptent souvent des pratiques durables non pas uniquement (ou essentiellement) par conviction, mais aussi (ou surtout) parce qu’ils en retirent, ou espèrent en retirer, des bénéfices de type économique. L’objet principal de cette étude est d’analyser l’influence des caractéristiques individuelles de ces dirigeants sur leur adhésion à l’argument économique de la responsabilité sociale de leur entreprise (RSE). L’observation a été réalisée sur 188 entreprises canadiennes de moins de 100 salariés. Les résultats montrent que le genre, l’âge, l’expérience et la formation du dirigeant n’expliquent pas l’adhésion à l’argument économique de la RSE. En revanche, ses valeurs personnelles, appréhendées par son éthique et son sentiment d’appartenance à un espace géographique local, de même que la recherche de pérennité de l’entreprise et la priorité donnée à la performance financière dans les objectifs de la firme, sont positivement liées à l’argument économique de la RSE. En particulier, les résultats des analyses montrent un effet positif significatif de l’éthique activiste du dirigeant sur la conviction que cela permet d’acquérir de la légitimité et d’accéder à de nouveaux marchés.
Performance et innovation en PME : une relation à questionner1

Published: November 2016

Partant du constat qu’en sciences de gestion, les politiques de management auraient toutes, pour ambition ultime, de contribuer à la performance de l’entreprise et que la capacité d’innovation d’une entreprise serait une condition sine qua non de cette performance, cet article propose une dénaturalisation de cette évidence managériale. Nous montrons que (i) les notions de performance et d’innovation font référence à des contenus très variés selon les typologies considérées ; (ii) la performance est principalement mesurée par des indicateurs distaux (essentiellement financiers) ; (iii) la nature de l’interdépendance entre innovation et performance n’est pas univoque. En reconsidérant les variables contextuelles, nous montrons l’intérêt d’adopter une perspective multiple pour appréhender l’innovation et la performance dans les PME. Cette perspective multiple capitalise sur la diversité des caractérisations de ces deux notions, dans une démarche agnostique n’établissant aucun lien entre elles a priori. Cet article propose ainsi une méthodologie de mesure de la performance et de l’innovation en PME qui mobilise des indicateurs spécifiques à ces organisations. Ce faisant, nous participons à une démarche critique visant à émanciper les PME et, plus largement, les pouvoirs publics et régulatoires, de normes performatives étroites.
