L'Analyse causale d'un modèle de la syndicalisation des gestionnaires

Dans le but d'expliquer la décision des gestionnaires de se syndiquer, un modèle théorique de la syndicalisation cadre a été élaboré et vérifié empiriquement auprès d'un échantillon de cadres de niveaux inférieurs (N = 185). Les variables à la base du modèle conceptuel sont la satisfaction au travail, la perception instrumentale des syndicats, les attitudes à l'égard des syndicats et de l'administration, et l'intention de se syndiquer. l'analyse du cheminement causal supporte partiellement le modèle théorique. Toutes les relations causales postulées par le modèle sont significatives à seuil de signification égal ou supérieur à 0,05, sauf la relation entre l'attitude à l'égard de l'administration et l'intention de vote et celle entre la satisfaction au travail et la perception instrumentale des syndicats. Les implications des résultats de cette recherche sur la problématique de la syndicalisation des gestionnaires et sur les sciences du comportement organisationnel font l'objet d'une discussion. Abstract To help explain why managers decide to unionize, a theoretical model of management unionization was established and empirically tested on a group of lower-level managers (N = 185). The basic variables of the conceptual model were job satisfaction, instrumental perception of unions, attitudes towards unions and management, and intention to unionize. The causal analysis partly supports the theoretical model. All cause-and-effect relationships postulated by the model attained a significance level greater than or equal to 0.05, except the relationship between attitude towards management and voting intentions and the one between job satisfaction and perception of unions. Discussed are the implications of these results on the issues of management unionization and organizational-behaviour sciences.     

L'effet des récompenses sur l'état de santé psychologique des travailleurs: les mécanismes sous‐jacents

The effort‐reward imbalance (ERI) model in the workplace (Siegrist, 1996 ) suggests that inequity of rewards contributes to a degradation of mental health through a process of devaluation. The objective of our study is to test this hypothesis empirically. Data were collected from 659 agents in three call centres located in the province of Quebec. A bootstrap mediation test show that perceived inequity with respect to rewards (recognition, promotion, job security) affects the level of psychological distress through the perception of being valued by the organization. Perceived inequity affects mental health because it signals to workers the extent to which they are valued by their organization. Our correlational study provides evidence of the internal validity of the ERI model. Copyright © 2017 ASAC. Published by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
