Le décalage entre travail prescrit et travail réel : la dimension absente des manuels de management

Literature in sociology of work and ergonomia give an important place to the question of rules transgressions in organization. The difference between prescribed task and real task is abundantly described and commented. The proof of the existence of the phenomenon is fully made. How do management sciences tackle the problem?It is fairly surprising to discover that management science handbooks almost never treat the phenomenon. Everything is often said as if rules transgressions did not exist, or had implicitly no relevance.This article formulates an observation which sets ground for further researches about transgression practices in organizations which would be clearly inscribed in management sciences.
