Personal Qualification, a Recognition in the Working Place Paradigm
This article aims to compare two institutions of work, employment and personal qualification, from the point of view of recognition. The ambition is to demonstrate that employment involves a fundamental uncertainty about the continuity of the activity. This uncertainty translates into an actual or potential lack of recognition for workers. On the contrary, personal qualification allows a continuity of recognition to workers, not in their activity but in their capacities, in their power. Therefore, it is essential to distinguish between personal qualification, which allows us to testify recognition and respect for all the people who participate in social production, and the levels of qualification, which introduce differentiated levels of esteem.
