La vidéo interactive, une voie de développement pour l’activité des personnels de direction

Abstract

Managers are tasked with organising the work of their staff while at the same time ensuring their quality of life in the workplace. Tensions between these two objectives can nevertheless occur, as experienced by a high school principal when, for personal reasons, one of his teachers belatedly withdrew from accompanying a school trip. Analysis of simulations involving seven other managers and a researcher revealed several solutions, some of which were more conducive to quality of working life than others. These results were used to create an interactive video to train managers to better manage such tensions, taking into account the inter-individual variability of the activity in the simulation situation. The developmental aspects of managers were discussed from the perspective of the situations produced during the design process of the interactive video.
