‪Les professions intermédiaires au cœur de nouvelles formes d’organisation industrielle‪. Enquête auprès de techniciens et d’agents de maîtrise de l’industrie aéronautique

?While aircraft manufacturing is based on a new framework of industrial organization today ? the modular architecture ? we study the consequences of these transformations within the technicians? and supervisors? work content, and on human resources management. To this end, we led an investigation in four companies of the sector in Provence-Alpes-Côte d?Azur (a contractor and three subcontractors). Our observations highlight the fact that technicians? and supervisors? activities cannot be really differentiated from now on and, above all, that they consist more and more of mediation and coordination between various departments or speakers (or modules) in the production line, including design tasks. While they have to show more autonomy and to develop communication skills to succeed, technicians and supervisors rarely reach the manager status, which leads to frustration and dissatisfaction towards the human resources management policy led by their companies.?
