Abstract
Management tools can be understood as 'action schemas' which can be used to solve practical problems (instrumental rationality). They may also be interpreted as 'interpretative schemas' ('sensemaking' processes). Their conception and implementation can interact with the psychic apparatus in different ways such as the identification process through the language, the feeling of 'lack of being', the time perception and the relationship with others. Because management tools can be conceived, used or interpreted in an ambivalent way this can lead to the generation of specific forms of violence in the workplace.
