Résumé
The upheaval experienced by the world of work with the advent of the health crisis has had substantial repercussions, particularly on companies and, by ricochet, on workers, including managers.
The aim of this article is to report on the work experiences of managers in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. It draws on the theory of « living work » (Dejours, 2013) in order to understand the challenges of changes in the world of work and their repercussions on work experiences.
The research is based on a qualitative method involving focus groups with 20 managers. The results reveal, among other things, the economic, instrumental, human and social dimensions underpinning their work in coping with digital transformation. The analyses open the door to reflections on the types of work organization that need to be developed to promote sustainable job retention and the reconciliation of life projects.
