Peter \u00e9non\u00e7a pour la premi\u00e8re fois son fameux \u00ab&nbsp;principe \u00bb, en 1969, il d\u00e9clara sans modestie vouloir fonder rien moins qu&#8217;une nouvelle science&nbsp;: la \u00ab&nbsp;hi\u00e9rarchologie \u00bb ou \u00ab&nbsp;science de l&#8217;incomp\u00e9tence au travail \u00bb. La suite prouva que son projet n&#8217;avait rien de pr\u00e9somptueux tant l&#8217;incomp\u00e9tence gagne du terrain dans les appareils politiques, les administrations, les arm\u00e9es, les syndicats, les \u00e9glises ou les \u00e9tats-majors des entreprises. Les constatations empiriques sur lesquelles se fondait Peter \u00e9taient les suivantes&nbsp;: dans une organisation quelconque, si quelqu&#8217;un fait bien son travail, on lui confie une t\u00e2che plus complexe. S&#8217;il s&#8217;en acquitte correctement, on lui accordera une nouvelle promotion. Et ainsi de suite jusqu&#8217;au jour o\u00f9 il d\u00e9crochera un poste au-dessus de ses capacit\u00e9s. O\u00f9 il restera ind\u00e9finiment. Application&nbsp;: Le \u00ab&nbsp;principe de Peter \u00bb a deux importants corollaires. D&#8217;abord, dans une organisation, le travail est r\u00e9alis\u00e9 par ceux qui n&#8217;ont pas encore atteint leur niveau d&#8217;incomp\u00e9tence. Ensuite, un salari\u00e9 qualifi\u00e9 et efficace consent rarement \u00e0 demeurer longtemps \u00e0 son niveau de comp\u00e9tence. Il va tout faire pour se hisser jusqu&#8217;au niveau o\u00f9 il ne sera plus bon \u00e0 rien&nbsp;!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/images\/juillet_2006\/cordage.jpg\" alt=\"The PETER principle\" title=\"\"><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dans une hi\u00e9rarchie, chaque employ\u00e9 tend \u00e0 s&#8217;\u00e9lever jusqu&#8217;\u00e0 son niveau d&#8217;incomp\u00e9tence.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[831],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-ancien-blog"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=137"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8031,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/137\/revisions\/8031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/remichapeaublanc.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
