CEE : Centre for Studies of Employment, 29 Promenade Michel Simon, 93166 Noisy-le-Grand Cedex А bstract: Using a linked employer-employee survey on computerisation and organisational change (COI), we analyse the effects of organisa- tional changes on indicators of work intensiication, skills development, and variations of employee commitment in the private sector and the State Civil Service. Organisational changes are more intense in the State Civil Service than in the private sector. That conirms the importance of changes in the work- ing environment of employees within the context of the State modernisation.
