Résumé
Les PME en hypercroissance ou « gazelles » sont des acteurs essentiels de la création d’emplois et de la dynamisation des territoires. Si la recherche a surtout privilégié l’analyse des caractéristiques structurantes des gazelles et des déterminants de leur croissance, peu d’attention a été accordée à la gestion des ressources humaines dans ce type d’entreprise. Sur la base d’une étude comparative de cas, cette contribution analyse les effets structurants de la dynamique d’hypercroissance sur la fonction ressources humaines et les tensions qui l’accompagnent. La discussion souligne le rôle de l’ambidextrie organisationnelle, temporelle, contextuelle et de réseau comme leviers de régulation de ces tensions.

Abstract
High growth small and medium-sized firms, usually known as « gazelles », are key actors of job creation and revitalization of territories. Most of the focus of academic research has been on the gazelles’ characteristics and the factors of their growth, but little attention has been paid to the nature of human resources management (HRM) practices in such organizations. From a comparative case study, this paper analyzes the consequences of the growth dynamics on human resource management and the induced tensions. It underlines the importance of organizational, temporal, contextual and relational ambidexterity in dealing with these tensions.
Keywords:
- Small and medium sized firms,
- High growth,
- Human resource management,
- Tensions,
- Ambidexterity
Resumen
Las pequeñas y medianas empresas con gran crecimiento, llamadas « gacelas », son los actores mayores de la creación de empleo y del dinamismo de un territorio. Si la investigación ha tratado de las caracteristicas estructurantes de estas « gacelas », y los determinentes de su crecimiento, poco valor ha sido dado a la gestión de los recursos humanos en este tipo de empresa. A partir de un estudio comparativo de casos, esta contribucion analiza los efectos de la dinamica de gran crecimiento sobre la competencia recursos humanos y las tensiónes que las conlleva. La discusión desarolla varias pistas sobre la resolución de aquellas tensiónes.
