L’évaluation professionnelle : la mise à l’épreuve de la « vérité » ; un défi pour les ressources humaines.
Résumé
Professional evaluation engages the subject in a relation of truth to oneself and to others.
Evaluating is attributing value to actions. This is a judgment made by peers and managers on
the behavior of employees in companies. We wanted to start from the mobilization of the
concept of parresia, the subject of a course at the college of France by Foucault,(1983) to
question the dimension of the so-called truth in the context of professional evaluation. We test
this concept from the study of a case, the real estate company 2.0. This case study reveals that
evaluation is a form of daily control that takes multiple aspects in context. The formal moment
of evaluation is simply a staging of judgments, points of view and other criticisms of the
behavior of the collaborator. We conclude by developing research leads and a perspective on
the ethics of evaluation.
