Abstract
Following the fall of oil prices in the mid 80's, and the implementation of structural economic reforms in the 90's, the social and professional situation of executive and middle management staff in Algerian public enterprises seriously deteriorated. Managers being less affected by the crisis, our study deals mainly with intermediate executives. During the 70's and the 80's, they enjoyed a comfortable situation. Theirs was a mission of control within State-owned enterprises, and they did not participate in the effective creation of value. As a counterpart, they were granted a portion of the oil revenues by State authorities in the form of salaries, as well as various privileges such as free or inexpensive housing, cars, etc. Through various accounts, our article explains the great difficulties thousands had to face as a result of these adjustment policies, from an economic, as well as a psychological and moral perspective.
