Abstract

Les travaux autour de la responsabilité sociale de l’entreprise (RSE) se sont considérablement développés au niveau international depuis une dizaine d’années. Les crises répétées de nos modèles sociaux ont amené les chercheurs à s’interroger sur les modes alternatifs de régulation du capitalisme et, ce faisant, à faire de la RSE une voie de recherche féconde et salutaire – y compris dans l’opinion publique. C’est particulièrement le cas en management et depuis peu en économie des ressources humaines où la question du rôle de la RSE dans les pratiques d’encadrement de la relation d’emploi est de plus en plus débattue. Pour autant, peu de place est accordée à l’analyse critique des dispositifs de RSE intra-firme, lesquels se fondent pourtant souvent sur des pratiques ambivalentes qui laissent apparaître des formes de manipulation des salariés au travail. Il s’agit là de la thèse que nous souhaitons défendre dans cet article à partir d’une analyse de la littérature sur le concept de manipulation appliquée aux cas des codes de conduite des entreprises.
