This research aimed to analyze sedentarization practices and their influence on employee skills development in small and medium-sized enterprises in Benin. The key concepts were identified through literature review and directive and semi-directive interviews were used. The quantitative data used in this study were collected from 1,321 employees and analyzed through descriptive statistics and correlation analyses in the SPSS software. The results revealed on the one hand that the sedentarization of employees of small and medium-sized enterprises in Benin can be explained by the games played by the actors involved. On the other hand, the results illustrated that the skill development of SME employees depended not only on the expectation of promotion gain but also on routine activities that negatively and significantly influenced the skill development of SME employees.
