Goals
• Acquire a set of concepts and analytical approaches so as to understand and handle dynamics of work organisation.
• Place 'organisation' as it actually works (and not how it should) into the centre of the analysis.
• Understand the importance of social regulations in production.
• Students carry out an operator internship at the end of the first semester (S1). This internship is the opportunity to analyse (first individually then as a group) production activity and work organisation by reusing concepts seen in class.
Content
This course is divided into three sections which take place before the internship:
• Sociology on "knowledge of work activity" where the following topics will be studied:
-production of a socio-technical system
-the company as the place of a strategic game between stakeholders
-identity phenomena in the company
-group action and negotiation
• Ergonomy on "work activity" highlighting:
-task and activity concepts
-individual and group regulations
-working conditions
-safety at work
• Methodology of ergonomic and sociological surveys (observation and interview)
