N1 - 99 N2 - This paper aims at unraveling the soft constraint produced through the managerial model of remote control that is the very subject matter of decentralized government structures distant from post-bureaucratic organizations. Drawing on different theoretical approaches from organizational sociologies to Foucault in the conception of power, this work analyzes the managerial structures of government in order to achieve a deeper understanding of interactive psycho-organizational processes which foster managerial power. Uncertainty characterized post-bureaucratic management and the subjectivity of individuals has become a disciplinary resource to drive the managerial power of control. Through forms of autonomy that arise within managerial structures, individuals collectively produce a threatening constraint which appears to be a powerful means to standardize their own behavior. The psycho-social dimension of managerial control operates through a government system based on a simultaneous increase in pleasure and angst. Its disciplinary action changes from authoritarian and prohibitive to incentive and inhibitive principles UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-connexions-2009-1-page-21?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
