Abstract [en]
Culture influences people’s attitude towards work, as well as how organizations
are ruled and what is to expect from a manager. In the French context, such assumptions
are embedded in a strong history and culture that keep old roots from pre-revolutionary
periods. It is also known worldwide that the French way of doing business is
conservative and different, nay opposed from the way it is designed in the United States
for example. Another fact foreign people have in mind about French business is that it is
still “old-fashioned” and designed through a top-down directive approach. Nevertheless,
some modern companies try to break those clichés by using different human resources
management methods. How it is possible to happen in such a context is discussed
through the case study of the medium-sized venture Michel et Augustin. The study
showed an accurate use of leadership built regarding the environment and culture an
organization is evolving within is an important factor to make commitment and
effectiveness occur. Although, upstream choices can prevent the attachment of
employees towards their organization. The hiring process is a considerable pattern to
exploit for any organization willing to have a welded team of dedicated employees.
