Abstract

This paper intends to show how executives of social integration associations run tensions –organizing, performance, belonging and learning – through the integration of both dimensions – social and economic – with the aim of implementing equilibrium of tensions. Based on two case studies of French work integration social associations (mental health disabled people, single and unemployed women), our results show both organizations similarly give positively internal feedbacks to make coexist the two salient tensions (performing and organizing). However, even if the two other tensions (belonging and learning) are still latent, we point out how much they could emerge as salient and then should be considered.
