Abstract

Many authors and journalists underline the dominate place of small and medium sized enterprises (SME) in the economy, especially in France: 60% of employment, 53% of added value, 41% of investment, and 30% of exportation for business with less than 250 people (Insee source in Savajol, 2003). As others kinds of business, SME encounter some problems concerning human resource management (HRM). The perspective positive aspects which foresee e-HRM in this area are not exempted from other more delicate consequences in others areas. These ones identify another practice which is relatively recent and unknown: shared-time work (STW). After returning to the notion of SME and the speci- fications of their HRM, more particularly the development of e-HRM, we will examine converging points of this one with STW.
