Anyone who has been employed by an organization knows not every official workplace regulation must be followed. When management consistently overlooks such breaches, spaces emerge in which both workers and supervisors engage in officially prohibited, yet tolerated practices--gray zones. When discovered, these transgressions often provoke disapproval; when company materials are diverted in the process, these breaches are quickly labeled theft. Yet, why do gray zones persist and why are they unlikely to disappear? In Moral Gray Zones, Michel Anteby shows how these spaces function as regulating mechanisms within workplaces, fashioning workers' identity and self-esteem while allowing management to maintain control. The book provides a unique window into gray zones through its in-depth look at the manufacture and exchange of illegal goods called homers, tolerated in a French aeronautic plant. Homers such as toys for kids, cutlery for the kitchen, or lamps for homes, are made on company time with company materials for a worker's own purpose and use. Anteby relies on observations at retirees' homes, archival data, interviews, and surveys to understand how plant workers and managers make sense of this tacit practice. He argues that when patrolled, gray zones like the production of homers offer workplaces balanced opportunities for supervision as well as expression. Cautioning against the hasty judgment that gray zone practices are simply wrong, Moral Gray Zones contributes to a deeper understanding of the culture, group dynamics, and deviance found in organizations.

"Comment sont formés les futurs patrons américains ? Quel sens moral retirent-ils de leur passage sur les bancs des fameuses business schools où ils acquièrent leur formation ? L’analyse ethnographique de la plus emblématique de ces écoles, celle de Harvard, apporte des réponses. Michel Anteby nous découvre les rouages d’une institution centenaire et dresse des parallèles frappants entre la socialisation des professeurs et celle des élèves. De la préparation des séances de cours à la circulation dans les tunnels du campus, du système d’évaluation et de notation aux suspensions pour motif d’insuffisance académique, ce livre retrace le parcours éducatif, à la fois mythique et singulier, de ceux qui aspirent à devenir patrons. Car ils évoluent dans un contexte qui promeut un silence normatif relatif. Arguant de respecter une multitude de points de vue, l’école se refuse à prôner ouvertement une norme. C’est donc une étrange idéologie de la non-idéologie qui est interrogée ici, et un silence bien plus parlant qu’il n’y paraît. "
