The study of socialisation at work in the informal sector is a key issue for the implementation of strategies favourable to the development of this sector, which is so marginalised in Cameroon. The aim of this research is to determine the factors related to the meaning of work that have an impact on the socialisation of informal sector workers. An investigation of 715 actors in this sector leads to the conclusion that taking into account factors related to the meaning of work such as the perceived usefulness of work, the perceived moral rectitude of work, the perceived autonomy of work, and the importance of relationships generated by work, has a significant impact on their socialisation at work and helps to understand the willingness of these actors to work in a sector that provides no guarantees in terms of social protection for workers in Cameroon, but that this influence is much more pronounced for acceptance of work than for learning about work. These results are discussed and the theoretical and practical implications of the research are set out.

In management as in other sciences, strategic thinking is practically indispensable to long-term vision. In this sense, it's logical to point out that, just as we talk about strategy in the general context of the company, it's also our right to talk about strategy in human resources management. A right in the sense that the strategic policy defined by the company as part of its long-term actions is reflected in its human resources. What's more, this is a general company policy, the achievement of which is the result of a combination of individual contributions. This is particularly true when it comes to defining a company's general policy, since the individual is not only a subject of social action, but also an actor in it (expressions we find in the work of social psychologists such as Simmel and Durkheim, in 1908 and 1922 respectively). This work questions the validity of a company's strategic policy, focusing on the creation of competitive advantage.
