| Summary: | Every society lives with "adjustments" between the different components of social life, that is economy, politics, culture, but also some "arbitrage" between integration and exclusion, between the welfare state and the market or "compromise" between the decisions taken in a "top-down" approcah and their implementation "below", between subordination and desire to depart from it by asserting its autonomy. Living in a society and transforming organizations is done on the basis of interactions that create rules. These rules allow communication and social exchange, collaboration and conflict, arbitration and compromise. According to Jean-Daniel Reynaud’s theory (1997, 1999), the life of rules, their development and renewal is a social regulation that is the object of the Theory of Social Control he developed throughout his career; this theory helps to understand how to build social obligations to which individuals will subject themselves, because these social rules are the endogenous product of their relationship. If the theory’s starting point is the field of industrial relations, it has moved away from this specific field to become a more general theory of social exchange. The discussions and extensions to which it gives rise (in Terssac, 2003), show the fruitfulness of this theory, but also its openness and usefulness. |
