Résumé

Cet article explore, par le biais d’une étude de cas qualitative, les perceptions des professionnels et professionnelles sur l’égalité et l’inégalité dans les processus de partenariat en action communautaire dans le domaine de la petite enfance. La théorie de l’action communautaire en coalition (TACC) de Butterfoss et Kegler (2009) a été utilisée pour examiner spécifiquement les processus de communication, de prise de décisions, de gestion des conflits et d’administration. Les données ont été recueillies par le biais de trois sources : les entretiens individuels, les observations et l’analyse documentaire. Le matériel obtenu a été soumis à une analyse thématique. Les résultats mettent en évidence que les professionnels et professionnelles utilisent des indicateurs d’égalité et d’inégalité dans deux niveaux distincts de partenariat : le niveau de la haute sphère administrative où le rapport entre la contribution financière des institutions partenaires et les bénéfices que les partenaires retirent modulent les perceptions d’inégalité; et le niveau du terrain où la nature des échanges, la prise de décisions par consensus, la distribution des tâches ainsi que l’interdépendance en ce qui concerne les besoins, les contributions et les retombées conditionnent les perceptions d’égalité.

Abstract

This qualitative case study explores professionals’ perceptions of equality and inequality in the functioning of a community partnership in the area of early childhood intervention. Butterfoss and Kegler’s (2009) community coalition action theory was used to specifically examine the partnership processes of communication, decision making, conflict resolution, and administration. Data were obtained from three sources—individual interviews, direct observation, and documentary analysis—and were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results showed that the professionals engaged in this partnership used equality and inequality indicators at two levels of partnership: a senior management level, where the financial contribution of the partner organizations and the benefits each derived from this partnership modulated perceptions of inequality, and the working level, where the nature of exchanges, the process of decision making by consensus, the distribution of tasks, and interdependence in terms of needs, contributions, and outcomes shaped perceptions of equality.
