After completing a PhD in management sciences at Aix-Marseille III in 2007 and being awarded the AGRH/FNEGE thesis prize in 2008, Marie-Laure Buisson was appointed as a senior lecturer in management sciences at the FEG, and is affiliated with the LEST. Her research aims to shed light on the relationship between people and work, examined from the perspective of practices, management tools and technologies: how do people make sense of their work, particularly in light of all the tools, practices and technologies – each embodying specific rationales – that they are required to use, or even to disseminate?
She is regularly involved in collaborative projects (I Care, Ketorc, SCIDS, Managerial Legitimacy, etc.), she is also an active ad hoc reviewer for numerous journals, and served specifically as a member of the Scientific Steering Committee and the editorial board of the journal RIMHE until 2023. Head of the Master 2 in Talent Management programme (accredited as a «Référence RH» programme) since 2010, she is also an elected member of the Research Commission and a member of the CACr at AMU.
2024-2027 : AMIDEX SCIDS Project (budget: €411,780), led by Natahalie Bonnardel (AMU). In a demanding academic environment, where originality is a key expectation of doctoral research, the creativity of doctoral students is often limited by institutional, disciplinary and organisational constraints. The SCIDS (Students Scientific Creativity Incentives for Doctoral Students) project aims to remove these barriers by exploring practical ways to encourage and develop the scientific creative abilities of early-career researchers. SCIDS is structured around three complementary and progressive areas of work. The LEST is responsible for the needs analysis. The aim is to understand how doctoral students and institutions perceive creativity within the research process through a qualitative study that will identify expectations, barriers and perceived levers.
