Abstract

Cet article part à la recherche du manager par le sens, des outils qu'il utilise, des objectifs qu'il vise, ainsi que des compétences qu'il met en oeuvre. L'investigation s'est déroulée dans le secteur public local, où 10 observations in situ et 58 entretiens ont été réalisés. La fixation d'objectifs, renforcée par une reconnaissance du travail accompli ou, encore, l'utilisation de modes de communication appropriés font partie des modus operandi du manager par le sens. Parmi les effets que ce dernier vise, figurent l'implication, l'engagement et, in fine, la performance. De cette recherche, il est possible de déduire le portrait d'un manager par le sens, au service de la performance organisationnelle, un manager potentiellement réflexif. Manager par le sens, manager réflexif, secteur public local.

Manager using sensemaking, reflexive manager, local public sector.
