The aim of this article is to contribute to discussions in the labor clinic of adaptations of labor analysis methods to meet developments in the organizations we work with. We will take as the object of work research with specialized educators of child protection whose activity is mobilized and supported by technological solutions. We propose in this paper to give you access to the background of developing our research intervention methodology to address the complexity of our research. In order to grasp the specificity of their multi-situational activity mediated by digital tools, we had to get rid of the tradition of adapting the methods to our field of action.

The aim of this intervention-research is to investigate the experience of value conflicts among employees and managers in a company delegated to provide a public service. It falls within the field of clinic of activity and follows a clinical approach. The analysis shows a conflict of values centred on hindered work quality among agents and first-level managers. For sector managers, the analysis suggests episodic ethical conflicts and reveals the implementation of actions to maintain the power to act.

The ‘imaginary trace’ method was devised and tested during an intervention within the clinical approach to work. This intervention was conducted in distant mode, without any traces of activity or access to the field. The context was the COVID-19 pandemic, and the professionals were swimming coaches who presented and discussed their work in remote meetings. The dialogue extracts presented highlight the value of this method for the analysis of these professionals’ own activity and the emergence of the issues that this activity entails for them.

This article explores the Vygotskian concept of “click-experience” to better characterize the psychological processes – both affective and cognitive – during Activity Clinic interventions, and more broadly in work clinic. In the course of dialogues designed to act on the quality of work, this kind of experience, when solicited by the intervention device, can support the development of thought and affects leading to an organizational transformation that allows to change work in time and space. After analyzing the implementation of a “click-experience” in the activity of the head of an operational department, the methods used in work clinics to obtain an organizational development are discussed. The results question the dynamic relationships between intellectual and affective processes linked to the development of power to act, and challenges in return the methods and aims of work clinic intervention.

The development of the theoretical and methodological paradigms of the work clinic implies an empirical approach attentive to the major transformations in work. These call for greater attention to the dialectical unity of human activities. Many of these transformations accentuate the porosity of fields of activity, and the multiplication of bifurcations, ruptures and uncertainties in professional trajectories. The gendered perspective sheds light on the indissociability of spheres of activity (productive and reproductive). Similarly, the crumbling of the wage society blurs many of our categories of thought and analysis of work, the relationship to work and the construction of health. Finally, to shed light on the prospects for action in the work clinic, experiments in intervention outside the sphere of employment are presented.

The aim of this exploratory and descriptive study is to examine, in the context of coworking, how individuals working in an open space evaluate their concentration, what factors enhance it, and what strategies they employ to maintain it and manage their telephone conversations despite the reduction in aural and visual privacy. The method is based on systematic observation, self-evaluation and a semi-structured interview. The results show that concentration was positively perceived thanks to factors relating to work conditions and environment, and thanks to occupation strategies. They then show that the location of telephone conversations is chosen according to their predictability, duration and confidentiality. In addition to contributing to the literature on coworking spaces, the study proposes several avenues for improvement in their design, layout and animation.

This article presents the scientific validation process of the Inventory of Quality of Life and Working Conditions (I-QVCT). This questionnaire assesses the perception of quality of life and conditions at work (QVCT). It is composed of 114 items divided into 32 indicators grouped within 8 factors. The study was conducted using a representative sample of French workers (N = 956). The examination of validity, discriminant power, and reliability were satisfactory and demonstrated good psychometric properties of the I-QVCT. The theoretical and practical implications were discussed with regard to the issues of evaluation and improvement of the quality of life and working conditions in France.

Lowly valued and exposed to insecurity, the so-called “second-line” job of cashier saw its working conditions deteriorate during the COVID-19 crisis. Based on the literature on the meaning of work, cashier activity and the effects of COVID on careers, the study predicted that the meaning given to work would derive essentially from interactions with customers and perceived social usefulness. It was also expected that meaning would change during the COVID-19 crisis, and that this would have an impact on career projections. The double analysis, automated via Iramuteq and manual, of interviews with cashiers collected on two occasions during the first (n = 10) and third (n = 7) lockdowns confirms the importance and ambivalence of interactions with customers in the meaning found in work, as well as the changes in meaning and career projections between the two lockdowns.
