Que deviennent les collectifs en télétravail ? Une analyse par l’usage des outils collaboratifs

Abstract

This work analyzes the use of digital tools among telecommuting workers to understand the dynamics of work collectives.The article compares how “strong” collectives (within the same hierarchical entity or a business collective) and “weak” collectives (large teams, networks of contacts) use digital tools to collaborate remotely. While “strong” collectives succeed in integrating digital tools easily to cooperate remotely, weak collectives who usually use digital technologies for coordination tasks have difficulty collaborating remotely. Based on the comparison, the article highlights the risk of the erosion of some collectives due to the isolation of employees far from the “strong” collectives.
