Abstract EN:

This work describes the experimental trials carried out by godin in a french industrial environment (1867-1878). The exp erimental subjets being workers in his own company. It includes study and analysis of the handwritten accounts of these experiments and describes the specific social and industrial context in which they took place. The work also gives an account of how godin developed his experimental method and the related statistical analysis of behaviour types, thus pioneering the use of experimentation in social psychology.
