The Commitment of Polar Expedition Members to a Project: Declared Motivation or in Situ Mobilization?

Abstract: ■The commitment of participants to a project especially under extreme conditions, such as a polar expedition, has a vital bearing on its end result. But how can one apprehend the very notion of commitment? First, we distinguish the actors' "declared" motivations from what actually mobilizes them in the situation. Second, we use notions of mobilization, norms, and sensibilities in order to understand this phenomenon. They throw a light on the participants' behavior throughout the polar expedition and the projec… Show more

“…A team consists of two or more individuals with different roles and responsibilities who interact socially and interdependently within an organization to perform tasks and accomplish common goals (National Research Council, 2015). Projects are temporary communities or organizations, or even miniature societies (Lundin and Söderholm, 1995;Perryman, 2013), with individuals working together in a team towards this common goal. Project-based communities need to be built and have to be sustained in order for the projects to be eventually proposed and initiated.…”

“…In the field, "the commitment of participants to a project especially under extreme conditions, such as a polar expedition, has a vital bearing on its end result. In a project, an individual's performance depends more on actual commitment than on intrinsic skills and suitability for the functions the project requires" (Récopé et al, 2010). Whether in the field or not, a shared mental model of the work is also critical to overall success.…”

“…La situation ne fait pas sens pour Pierre. Pour rendre compte des différentes manières d'appréhender les situations, nous avons dégagé deux critères : le degré d'engagement et les attentes des acteurs dans l'activité (Recopé et al, 2010). Le degré d'engagement est déterminé par la place que prend l'expédition dans la vie des sujets.…”

“…Comme nous l'avons montré la construction progressive du projet passe par l'intégration aussi bien de l'intensité d'engagement des acteurs que de leurs attentes dans ce même projet (Garel, Lièvre, 2010). En revanche, les attentes ne peuvent pas être simplement appréhendées à partir du discours des acteurs, elles s'expriment de prime abord dans les pratiques en situation (Recopé et al, 2010). La question de la construction du sens prend une place primordiale dans les mécanismes de coordination entre les acteurs en situation extrême comme le développe tout un pan de la littérature contemporaine en prenant comme base les travaux de Weick (par exemple : Bouty et al, 2012 ; Cornelissen et al, 2014).…”

Cette mobilisation (Récopé, Lièvre, Rix-lièvre, 2010) s'exprime au sein de domaines d'interaction d'ampleur et de nature différentes. Elle réfère à des pratiquants plus ou moins concernés par les déplacements du ballon, intéressés à défendre, à anticiper, etc.…”
