Résumé
La pénurie de main-d’oeuvre représente un enjeu majeur pour les PME du secteur de la métallurgie au Québec, avec des impacts pouvant aller jusqu’à la menace à leur pérennité. Cette recherche examine comment les PME du secteur mobilisent leurs capacités organisationnelles afin de s’adapter à cet enjeu. Les résultats, tirés d’entrevues semi-dirigées avec treize cadres de PME différentes, mettent l’accent sur le rôle central du leadership stratégique, agissant comme une macro-capacité, facilitant la mobilisation des autres capacités. C’est ainsi que notre échantillon mobilise un large éventail de capacités, telles que la gestion des ressources humaines, les compétences, et la collaboration que l’on a catégorisé en fonction de trois rôles du leadership stratégique : gérer, influencer et travailler avec les autres.

Abstract
Labor shortages are a major issue for SMEs in Quebec's metallurgy sector, with impacts that can go as far as threatening their very survival. In this study, we examine how SMEs in this sector mobilize their organizational capabilities to confront this issue. The results, drawn from semi-structured interviews with thirteen participants from different SMEs, highlight the central role of strategic leadership, which acts as a macro-capability facilitating the mobilization of other capabilities. As such, members of our sample utilize a wide range of capabilities, such as human resource management, the development of competencies, and collaboration. We categorize these capabilities according to the three roles of strategic leadership: managing, influencing, and working with others.
Keywords:
