Abstract EN:
In france, companies are no longer viewed with suspicion. They have been rehabilitated, not only in contemporary minds, but also in the eyes of the church, headed by john paul ii (centesimus annus). This rehabilitation, however, is accompanied by misconceptions and management is in a state of crisis. After the supposed utilitarian models (taylor, the systemic school, the school of human ressources. . . ), it seemed that "third type" companies (those in "search of exce llence) had reached a turning point. Indeed, this model coincides with most of the themes of the catholic church : participation, delegation, morals, etc. . . The crisis however is one of productivism. Since the catholic church's rational teaching is subordinated to evangelical morals (the catholic church's doctrine with reference to work and property), she should have been able to prevent such ideological deviation. Only in making the distinction between the "common interest" (the need to live together in harmony) and the "common good" (mutual respect), is it possible to appreciate the true nature of the catholic church's social doctrine with reference to financial enterprises. Thus, "delegation", as is "solidarity", is a funtion of "common interest", whilst the confidence placed in those to whom work is delegated, that is subsidiarity, are quite different, belonging, as does "social justice" or charity to the concept of "common good", these latter constitute the morale inspiration of who delegates.
Abstract FR:
L'entreprise ne vit plus aujourd'hui sous l'ere du soupcon, rehabilitee dans l'esprit de nos contemporains, elle l'est aussi dans l'eglise de jean-paul ii (centesimus annus). Mais cette rehabilitation s'accompagne de quelques malentendus. Le management est aujourd'hui en crise, apres les modeles aux pre-supposes utilitaristes (taylor, l'ecole systemique. . . ) qu'a connus l'entreprise, il semblait pourtant que l'avenement de l'entreprise du "3eme type" avait marque un tournant. En effet, ce modele converge avec la plupart des themes catholiques : participation, delegation, ethique, etc. . . Mais cette crise est une crise de nature productiviste. L'eglise, parce qu'elle subordonne son enseignement rationnel a la morale evangelique (cf. "le travail et la propriete") est a meme de prevenir de telles derives. Ainsi, c'est en differenciant l'interet general (vouloir vivre ensemble) du bien commun (respect mutuel de la dignite de chacun) qu'on peut seulement apprehender la veritable nature de la doctrine sociale catholique sur l'entrprise. Ainsi, la delegation releve comme la solidarite de l'interet general alors qu'il en va autrement de la subsidiarite et de la charite qui appartiennent comme la justice sociale au bien commun, ces dernieres en constituant l'inspiration morale. L'entreprise-communaute que preconise l'eglise prend en compte cette dimension du bien commun. En derniere analyse, la fonction sociale de l'eglise apparait comme de nature plus utopique qu'ideologique.
