Thèmes de recherche - Research Interests

Olivier Godechot consacre ses recherches actuelles à la ségrégation au travail, au séparatisme des élites (en particulier à travers l'étude du phénomène des départs en équipe) et plus généralement à la dynamique inégalitaire du marché du travail. Auparavant, il a étudié la financiarisation des sociétés modernes et son effet sur l'accroissement des inégalités, les mécanismes de rémunération dans le secteur de l'industrie financière ainsi que la division du travail et les rationalités à l’œuvre dans les salles de marché. Il a consacré en parallèle des travaux sur le monde académique et l'impact des réseaux socio-intellectuels sur les recrutements à l'université.

Olivier Godechot's current research focuses on workplace segregation, elite separatism (in particular through the study of the phenomenon of team moves) and, more generally, on the unequal dynamics of the labor market. Previously, he studied the financialization of modern societies and its impact on the increase in inequality, the mechanisms of compensation in the financial industry, as well as the division of labor and the rationalities at work in trading rooms. In parallel, he has studied the academic world and the impact of socio-intellectual networks on faculty recruitment.
