Exploring technological instantiation of regulatory practices in entangled financial markets
No full textInternational audienceThe literature on the sociology of financial markets and institutional theory promotes concepts of field, networks, performativity, agencement and financial entropy. This study builds a conceptual model of technological instantiation of regulatory practices in financial markets. We observe how asset management firms instantiate technology as a material and social artefact to regulate the actions and behaviour of human agents. The structural-agency divide reveals the coercive role of regulators who impose stringent compliance practices on financial organizations by embedding formal rules and regulations in the software. Socio-technical conditions show how human agents interpret and apply these rules to circumvent formal regulatory policies and practices. Context-specific analysis shows technological performativity and agencement co-exist in financial fields that are becoming more entangled and fragmented. Regulators respond with more complex mandates to reduce entropy in financial markets characterized by extreme volatility and instability
Fintech et seniors Sud-Coréens : Une étude des facteurs d'acceptation
No full textInternational audienceCette recherche a pour but d'explorer les facteurs d'acceptation de la Fintech chez les seniors. Différents courants théoriques traitent les variables qui influencent l'acceptation des innovations technologiques. Le modèle choisi au niveau de cette étude est inspiré du modèle d'acceptation de la technologie (MAT ou, plus fréquemment, TAM pour Technology Acceptance Model). Notre modèle inclut les variables de l'utilité perçue, de la facilité d'utilisation, de l'accessibilité, du coût d'accès, de l'esprit d'innovation et de l'incertitude. La validation empirique du modèle a été réalisée à l'aide des méthodes d'équations structurelles sur un échantillon de 457 adultes coréens. Une analyse statistique a été réalisée par les logiciels SPSS 23.0 et AMOS 18. Nos résultats montrent que l'acceptation de la Fintech par les seniors est influencée par l'utilité perçue, la facilité d'utilisation, l'esprit d'innovation et l'incertitude. Toutefois, l'accessibilité et le coût d'accès n'ont pas une influence statistiquement significative sur l'intention d'utilisation de la Fintech. Cette étude a des implications pour les Fintech puisqu'elle peut leur permettre d'adapter leurs solutions à ce segment du marché voire de développer des produits adaptés à cette population (assurance vie en ligne, solutions de gestion de patrimoine et de succession…)
The Role of Personality in Political Talk and Like-Minded Discussion
No full textInternational audiencePolitical discussion is a key mechanism for the development of reasoned opinions and political knowledge, but online political discussion has been characterized as uncivil, intolerant, and/or ideologically homogeneous, which is detrimental to this development. In this paper, we examine the role of personality in various forms of political talk—online and offline—as well as like-minded discussion. Based on a 2017 survey conducted in the United Kingdom, United States, and France, we find that people who are open-minded and extraverted are more likely to engage in political talk but less likely to engage in like-minded discussion. Individuals who are older, less educated, introverted, and conscientious are more likely to find themselves in like-minded discussions, both online and on social media. Like-minded discussion is rare; personality, rather than ideology, predicts whether people engage in this form of political talk in online and offline modes. Our findings challenge the role of social media in the creation of like-minded discussion. Instead, we should look to the role of individual attributes, such as personality traits, which create a disposition that motivates the use of social media (and offline networks) to cultivate like-minded discussion
Organized Crime and Employment Relations: A Personal Story of ‘Ndrangheta Control on Employment Relations Management Practices in Southern Italy
No full textInternational audienceThis article sets out the testimony of Paolo, an Italian entrepreneur who worked under the control of an ‘Ndrangheta clan for years, and finally rebelled against that criminal organization. Paolo operated on a crucial front line, as he managed the relations between his company and the dominant criminal organization in his area. This story constitutes a ‘wake-up call’ for more research on the intrusion of organized crime in the labour market. Paolo’s story reveals how strongly organized crime can penetrate decision-making processes and control key people’s management practices. Such control is decisive not only while under the direct influence of organized crime, but also after rebelling against it. Overall, this article provides insights into how organized crime affects employment relations and it calls for more attention to be paid to this topic in the sociology of work and employment relations

Le travail émotionnel numérique : faire de ses clics un moyen d’éviter les claques
No full textInternational audienceHow does it feel to spend your days in front of a screen with the mission of making connected audiences smile? And, if there are feelings, can we observe specific practices to manage them better, or even make them a performance lever? This article questions the potential emotional work of digital communication professionals, in particular community managers. Through the analysis of a corpus of 22 interviews, and data from Facebook pages and Twitter accounts of French-speaking organizations, we propose to consider this work as a set of practices and tactics aiming at disaffecting the situations and interactions that affect them, but also their audiences as well as the digital spaces of the organizations they represent. Emotional work thus becomes a work of documentation, technical and epistemic mediation.Que ressent-on lorsque l'on passe ses journées face à un écran avec pour mission de faire sourire des publics connectés ? Et, si ressentis il y a, peut-on observer des pratiques spécifiques pour les gérer au mieux, voire en faire un levier de performance ? Cet article interroge le potentiel travail émotionnel des professionnels de la communication numérique, en particulier des gestionnaires de communautés ou community managers. Au travers de l'analyse d'un corpus de 22 entretiens, et de données en provenance de pages Facebook et de comptes Twitter d'organisations francophones, nous proposons de considérer ce travail comme un ensemble de pratiques et de tactiques visant à désaffecter les situations et interactions qui les touchent, mais aussi leurs publics comme les espaces numériques des organisations qu'ils représentent. Le travail émotionnel devient dès lors un travail de médiation documentaire, technique et épistémique

Selective Avoidance on Social Media: A Comparative Study of Western Democracies
No full textInternational audienceThis study examines the phenomena of political unfriending and content removal on social media in three Western democracies—France, the United Kingdom, and the United States. We seek to understand the role of crosscutting discussion, confrontational discussion style, and ideological extremity in triggering unfriending and content removal on social media, while shedding light on cross-country differences. The findings show that selective avoidance behaviors are much more common in the United States than either in France or the United Kingdom. They also show that crosscutting discussion and confrontational style are the predictors of selective avoidance across all the above countries, while ideological extremity plays a role in the United States only. We suggest that while social media provide opportunities for citizens to engage in discussions with people with dissimilar political views and socioeconomic backgrounds, they also allow them to easily reestablish more homophilous environments via content removal and tie dissolution

ESG activities and bank performance: does bank ownership matter ?
No full textInternational audienceIn this paper, we investigate the relation between environmental, social and governance (ESG) activities and bank performance in European markets. Different from existing literature, we also explore whether ESG activities differently affect the performance of foreign-owned banks and domestic-owned banks. The results show that higher involvement in ESG activities is associated with better performance only for foreign-owned banks, and suggest that investment in ESG activities is relevant for foreign banks since it helps to obtain legitimacy in foreign markets, and enhance their reputation on international level. Our findings provide a better understanding of whether a banks ESG activities are in the interest of shareholders, and partially explain the contradictory results in previous studies
