Une étude des relations entre l'articulation travail-famille et le bien-être des travailleurs en mobilité à l'international / A study of the relationship between work-family articulation and well-being of workers in international mobility

Ballesteros Leiva, Felix 22 October 2014 (has links)
Suite à la globalisation des affaires et aux multiples changements démographiques, de plus en plus de professionnels vont travailler à l’étranger de leur propre initiative ou encore, pour réaliser un mandat au sein d’une filiale de leur entreprise localisée à l’étranger. L’objectif de cette recherche consiste à étudier le bien-être des travailleurs à l’international en s’appuyant sur deux courants théoriques, celui du bien-être psychologique et du bien-être subjectif. Le bien-être subjectif se réfère à l’évaluation que font les personnes des conditions et des caractéristiques de l’environnement. Le bien-être psychologique fait référence à l’ampleur avec laquelle la personne se sent bien avec elle-même et à la cohérence de son projet de vie avec ses valeurs et ses objectifs de vie. Tenant compte du fait qu’un travail à l’étranger affecte tout autant les vies professionnelle, personnelle et souvent de couple et familiale, cette étude analyse les incidences du conflit et de l’enrichissement travail-famille sur le bien-être des travailleurs en mobilité à l’international. Notre recherche permet aussi d’explorer comment l’articulation travail-famille (tant par les perceptions de conflit que d’enrichissement) des TMI peut être expliquée par trois grands déterminants: le soutien social, l’autoévaluation de soi et l’intelligence culturelle des TMI. L’étude a été menée auprès de 284 travailleurs en mobilité à l’international vivant et travaillant dans différents pays. Au terme de multiples analyses, nos résultats confirment l’importance pour les TMI de ne pas ressentir de conflit travail-famille, mais de percevoir de l’enrichissement travail-famille pour ressentir plus de bien-être. Nos résultats démontrent que le conflit travail-famille est lié négativement aux deux types de bien-être évalués, alors que l’enrichissement travail-famille est seulement lié au bien-être subjectif. Nos résultats confirment aussi les liens négatifs entre d’une part, le soutien offert par l’organisation et la famille et le sentiment d’autoévaluation de soi et d’autre part, sur le conflit travail-famille que ressentent les TMI. Il apparaît aussi que le soutien offert par les collègues a un effet positif sur le sentiment d’enrichissement travail-famille exprimé par les TMI. Cette thèse conclue sur les implications de ses résultats pour la recherche et la pratique. Pour finir, les limites et les perspectives de la recherche future sont exposées / As a result of the globalization of business and the many demographic changes, more and more professionals are working abroad on their own initiative or, to achieve a mandate within a branch of their company located abroad. The objective of this research is to study the concept of the foreign workers well-being. We associated this concept with two theoretical currents refereeing to the subjective well-being and the psychological well-being. The subjective well-being refers to the assessment made by the workers about the conditions and characteristics of the environment. The psychological well-being refers to the extent to which the individual feels good with himself and the consistency of his life project with its values and life goals. Taking into account that working in a foreign context can affect both the professional and personal lives of the individual, often affecting the couple and family, in this study we aim to examine the impacts of work-family conflict and enrichment experienced by workers (that are) in international mobility. Our research also allows us to explore how the work-family articulation (both by perceptions of conflict and enrichment) of workers in international mobility can be explained by three major determinants: social support, self-esteem and cultural intelligence. The study was conducted among 284 workers in international mobility that was living and working in different countries. After multiple analyzes, our results confirm the importance for these workers in international mobility to feel no work-family conflict, but to perceive work-family enrichment in order to experience more well-being. Moreover, our results show that work-family conflict is negatively related to both types of well-being assessed, while the work-family enrichment is only related to subjective well-being. Our results also highlight the negative links between on the one hand, the support offered by the organization and the family with the feeling of self-esteem and on the other, with work-family conflict experienced by workers in international mobility. It also appears that support from co-workers has a positive effect on work-family enrichment experienced and expressed by workers in international mobility. This thesis concludes on the implications of its results for research and practice. Finally, limitations and vision statement for the future research are explained

Borta bra, men hemma bäst? : En studie om ledarskap i en interkulturell kontext

Frostensson, Ida, Granquist, Louise January 2014 (has links)
The aim of this thesis is to create an understanding about how and to what extent a Swedish expatriate manager needs to adapt his/her leadership in accordance with the culture of the host country. Thus shall different managers’ perceptions of experienced management overseas be studied. To accomplish our aim, three different problems have been designed. These are as follows: In what way does the manager’s earlier experiences and knowledge about expatriation affect her or his leadership in a new cross-cultural context? How does the culture of the host country affect the expatriate manager’s leadership? How does the expatriate manager handle contradictory demands: that is differences in expectations from subordinates and the higher management?   We have chosen to use an abductive approach in order to do a qualitative study and we have therefore conducted eight case studies to create a foundation for distinguishing patterns.The case studies are based on eight Swedish managers with experience from expatriation.   The theoretical framework is structured upon three main themes including; knowledge and skills a global leader needs to possess, the relation between the leader and subordinates, and contradictory demands. The theory is followed by a combined empirical data- and analysis chapter where we present our eight respondents, whom are then analyzed and interpreted based on the theory. In the empirical data- and analysis chapter the patterns we have been able to distinguish presented. The three main themes are consistently throughout this chapter.   The conclusion of the study is that a managers experiences and knowledges affects his or her leadership and perception of the culture in the host country. Furthermore, we can conclude that a Swedish leadership is applicable in an international context, and that contradictory demands are more distinct at home than in the host country. Finally we can summarize our study by stating that home is good, but overseas may be just as good. / Syftet med denna uppsats är att få en förståelse för hur och i vilken utsträckning en svensk utstationerad ledare behöver anpassa sig och sitt ledarskap efter kulturen i värdlandet. Följaktligen skall olika ledares uppfattningar om tidigare utlandsstationeringar undersökas. För att uppnå syftet med studien har vi utformat tre problemformuleringar. Studiens problemformuleringar är som följande; På vilket sätt påverkar ledarens tidigare erfarenheter och kunskaper rörande utlandsstationering hennes/hans ledarskap i ett nytt tvärkulturellt sammanhang? Hur påverkas en ledares ledarstil av kulturen i värdlandet? Hur hanterar utstationerade ledare motstridiga krav, det vill säga skillnader i förväntningar från medarbetarna och den högre ledningen?   Vidare har vi valt att använda oss av en abduktiv ansats för att genomföra en kvalitativ forskningsstrategi och tillämpat åtta fallstudier för att skapa underlag för att kunna urskilja mönster. Fallstudierna baseras på åtta svenska ledare med erfarenhet av utlandsstationering.   Den teoretiska referensramen är strukturerad efter tre huvudteman som innefattar; kunskaper och kompetenser en global ledare bör besitta, relationen mellan ledare och medarbetare, samt motstridiga krav.  Teorin följs av ett kombinerat empiri- och analysavsnitt där det redogörs för studiens åtta respondenter, som sedan analyseras och tolkas utifrån teorin.  I empiri- och analyskapitlet presenteras de mönster vi har kunnat urskilja. Studiens tre huvudteman är även genomgående för empiri- och analyskapitlet.   Studiens slutsats påvisar att en ledares tidigare erfarenheter och kunskaper påverkar dennes ledarskap och uppfattning av kulturen i värdlandet. Vidare kan vi konkludera att ett svenskt ledarskap är tillämpningsbart i en internationell kontext, samt att motstridiga krav är mer påtagliga på hemmaplan än i värdlandet. Avslutningsvis kan vi sammanfatta att hemma må vara bäst, men borta är nog minst lika bra.
