“…Other studies focus on the behavior of managers regarding REW (Cintas et al , 2020; Guillet, 2020; Guillet and Brasseur, 2019), the role played by tensions experienced in work situations (Volia, 2020), and managerial strategies at the individual level that deal with religious issues at work (Hennekam et al. , 2018).…”

“…, 2018). Cintas et al (2020) included the crucial role played by three factors in the intention to seek accommodation for the REW: (1) organizational flexibility, (2) perceived consequences, and (3) the religiosity of the manager, which was also important for Guillet (2020). Some authors have shown that the religiosity of leaders had a positive influence on openness to religious diversity, but did so without making the link with postures toward REW (Cui et al.…”

PurposeReligious expression at work (REW) has a unique place in France. The authors studied the perception of the postures of four organizations in the face of this phenomenon, focusing on the gap between official posture and the posture applied by managers.Design/methodology/approachUsing a qualitative approach, the authors conducted semi-structured interviews (40), observation periods and documentary analysis within four organizations. This multiple embedded case study was undertaken in four different firms in France: an international private firm, a public organization, and two small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with original models of REW management.FindingsA distinction between aligned and non-aligned postures emerged. There was a lack of alignment in only two of the four organizations, and this alignment concerned only two units of analysis: prayer on break and wearing religious symbols. Several extrinsic factors were identified in this lack of alignment between the official posture and the posture actually applied by managers: the form of REW, the religion concerned and whether it had minority status in the country, the degree of clarity of the official posture, the degree of formalization of the official posture, the size and scope of the company, the degree of awareness of managers and their teams, the degree of involvement of leaders in the definition and implementation of the posture, and the purpose of the official posture.Research limitations/implicationsThis research provides a sensitive understanding of religious expression at work and shows that alignment is sought specifically for each form of REW. The distinction between official posture and applied posture is highlighted through the study of perceptions. In addition, this study enables the identification of factors that influence the alignment of official and operational postures.Practical implicationsThese results call for clarity of the official posture and for it to be defended by leaders, provision of meaning to postures by raising awareness among intermediate hierarchical lines, understanding of the applicable legal framework to transpose it to the local level, and analysis of unaligned forms of REW to build a strong, shared posture.Originality/valueThis study, which was carried out within a specific French context, concerns areas that have received little attention or have not been studied at all to date, such as REW in SMEs or in the public sector, and demonstrates for the first time the distinction between official postures and effective postures.

Cet article a pour objectif d’éclairer la boîte noire que représente la phase post-interaction entre un salarié dont le comportement au travail traduit sa religiosité et le management. L’auteur étudie la question de comment les pratiquants réagissent à une action managériale qui contraint leur pratique, restreint l’exercice de leur liberté religieuse et remet ainsi en question la manière dont ils avaient envisagé l’articulation entre leurs pratiques religieuse et professionnelle. En s’appuyant sur les résultats d’une étude empirique de type qualitative (deux périodes d’entretiens, 31 puis 26 entretiens), il identifie trois types de stratégies mises en oeuvre par les personnes. Il étudie les conditions de déploiement ainsi que les conséquences pour les pratiquants et pour le management.

Le fait religieux au travail (FRT) est une préoccupation managériale importante. En positionnant les managers comme des producteurs de norme, les auteurs étudient leur première confrontation à ce phénomène pour mieux comprendre les problèmes d’alignement entre la posture organisationnelle et la posture opérationnelle, et en considérant cette première confrontation comme quasi juridictionnelle. Quatre types d’alignement sont mis en avant : 1) l’alignement ex-ante par l’opérationnel ; 2) le réalignement ex-post ; 3) l’alignement différé ; et 4) l’absence d’alignement. Les résultats invitent le top management à l’anticipation de la définition de la posture organisationnelle, et à considérer plus largement le management comme un système quasi juridictionnel.
