| Summary: | Labour inspectorion have evolved significantly over the past decade, in a way that affects, their organisation and relationship with the institutional environment as well as inspectors’ practices and how they are assessed. The very fact of affirming a labour policy has been the prime driver behind a rationalisation that, despite being largely inspired by New Public Management, also features a number of singular characteristics. The article equates these changes with a major restructuring of labour inspections’ "cognitive legitimacy", i.e. the ability to make actions and goals understandable and self-evident. Maintaining this legitimacy forces today’s civil servants to communicate and cooperate with other actors, exacerbating the tension that traditionally pits control against instruction by creating a greater number of sitautions where actors find they have to compromise, somethign that in turn affects their professional autonomy. |
