The pre-appropriation of controlling tools : the role of the enabling management
2022
The appropriation of controlling tools is a theme that has been widely addressed research in management over the last twenty years (De Vaujany, 2005, 2006; Carton et al., 2006; Grimand, 2006, 2012, Quemener and Fimbel, 2012; Bessire et al., 2012; Bédé et al., 2012; Bernard, 2019, Couleau-Dupont, 2010, ...). This research has mobilised various theoretical frameworks and methodologies. Some mobilise the theory of appropriation proposed by De Vaujany (2005), some others use theoretical frameworks from other disciplines, such as legitimacy (Suchman, 1995), regulation theory (Reynaud, 1979) or even neo-institutional theory (Di Maggio and Powell, 1991). The literature does not propose a single fr…
Student-generated instructional videos facilitate learning through positive emotions
2016
The central focus of this study is a learning method in which university students produce instructional videos about the content matter as part of their learning process, combined with other learning assignments. The rationale for this is to promote a more multimodal pedagogy, and to provide students opportunities for a more learner-centred, motivating, active, engaging and productive role in their learning process. As such we designed a ‘video course’ where the students needed to produce an instructional video which could be used for university teaching. In addition to producing the video, the students needed to write a literature review of the topic of the video and a learning journal. At…

Sources of stress and scholarly identity: the case of international doctoral students of education in Finland
2020
AbstractAlthough stressors and coping strategies have been examined in managing stress associated with doctoral education, stress continues to have a permeating and pernicious effect on doctoral students’ experience of their training and, by extension, their future participation in the academic community. International doctoral students have to not only effectively cope with tensions during their training and their socialization in their discipline but also address the values and expectations of higher education institutions in a foreign country. Considering the increase of international doctoral students in Finland, this study focuses on perceived sources of stress in their doctoral traini…
Mars-105 study : Time-courses and relationships between coping, defense mechanisms, emotions and depression
2013
International audience; This study investigated the time-courses and the relationships between coping, defense mechanisms, emotions and depression considered as key factors in adaptation to ICE (Isolated and Confined Extreme) environments. During the space simulation, the Mars-105 experiment, positive emotion decreased significantly and significant positive correlations were found between mature defenses and both positive emotions and Task-Oriented Coping (TOC), as well as between Disengagement-Oriented Coping (DOC) and symptoms of depression. These findings show the impact of space simulation on affective states and the relations of defense to both coping and emotion, which underline the r…
