Le monde industriel actuel connaît des changements fréquents et parfois brutaux suite aux progrès que connaissent la science et les technologies, aux besoins des clients, qui sont de plus en plus exigeants, à la forte présence de la concurrence. Cette variabilité des marchés économique engendre souvent des organisations de travail instables et des facteurs de pénibilité, de stress. Par conséquent, les industriels développent des méthodes pour maitriser et améliorer leur processus pour plus de performance. Le Lean management et l’approche ergonomique sont deux de ces méthodes.Mais elles semblent ne pas encore avoir fait totalement leur preuve pour répondre avec efficience à ce double enjeu qu’est la performance industrielle et la santé au travail. La notion de performance globale, qui englobe ce double enjeu, est complexe et pas simple pour les entreprises.De ce fait, notre projet de recherche a pour objectif de proposer une méthodologie de transformation et de pilotage de la performance globale basée sur une approche mettant en synergie le Lean Manufacturing, l’approche Ergonomique et l’approche Ergomotrice. Elle vise à guider l’entreprise sur un itinéraire de progrès construit à partir d’un processus d’évaluation du niveau de maturité de l’organisation. La matrice de maturité dans sa conception reprend les principes du Lean, de l’approche ergonomique et de l’approche Ergomotrice. Nous avons donc pu proposer un cadre de conduite de changement au sein d’un processus de pilotage rythmé permettant de transformer l’organisation industrielle pour atteindre une vision stratégique de performance globale d’une entreprise. L’ensemble de ces travaux a pu être testé au sein de plusieurs entreprises accompagnées par Valessentia et plus particulièrement au sein de l’entreprise Jean Louis Amiotte. / The current industrial world is facing frequent changes, which are sometimes abrupt. This is due to the scientific and technical progresses and increasingly challenging needs of customers. This market variability often creates unstable work organisations and arduousness and stress factors. Therefore, manufacturers are developing methods to control and improve their processes for greater performance. Lean management and ergonomics approach are two of these approaches.But they seem not having totally demonstrated their efficiency for tackling this double issue that is industrial performance and health-at-work. The notion of global performance, which encompasses this double issue, is complex and not so easy for enterprise to manage.Thus, this research project aims at proposing a methodology for transforming organisation and controlling global performance, on the basis of a synergy between the Lean Manufacturing, the ergonomics approach and the ergomotrice one. It aims at guiding an enterprise on a progress journey built upon an evaluation process of the organisation maturity level. The Maturity Matrix in its design takes into account the main principles of the Lean Manufacturing, the ergonomics approach and the ergomotrice one. We propose a framework for change management inside a rhythmed control process allowing to transform an industrial organisation in order to achieve the enterprise strategic vision of global performance.All these research works have been tested in several companies that have been assisted by Valessentia, and more particularly inside Jean-Louis Amiotte.

La procrastinación es uno de los principales problemas dentro de las organizaciones, pudiendo causar pérdidas económicas en las entidades y conductas de autosabotaje o tendencia a la infravaloración en los trabajadores. Existen ciertos factores que pueden predisponer el desarrollo de conductas de procrastinación, dentro de estos encontramos a la personalidad. Ante lo expuesto, se propuso como objetivo de la investigación determinar la relación entre procrastinación laboral y rasgos de personalidad en los trabajadores de una entidad estatal con régimen privado en Lambayeque. Para ello, se empleó un diseño no experimental de tipo correlacional; se contó con la participación de 180 trabajadores de puestos administrativos y obreros, de los cuales 53.1% eran hombres (M=35.3, DE=9.43). A quienes se les aplicó el Big Five Inventory-15 y la Procrastination at Work Scale. Se encontró una correlación significativa entre las dimensiones de personalidad y las conductas de procrastinación. / Procrastination is one of the main problems within organizations, leading to economic losses and self-sabotage behaviors or tendencies towards undervaluation among employees. Certain factors, such as personality, can predispose individuals to develop procrastination behaviors. In light of this, the objective of this research was to determine the relationship between work procrastination and personality traits among employees of a private state entity in Lambayeque. A non-experimental correlational design was employed, involving 180 administrative and labor workers who completed the Big Five Inventory-15 and the Procrastination at Work Scale. A significant correlation was found between personality dimensions and procrastination behaviors.

No. of bitstreams: 1 MARGARETH RIBEIRO MACHADO SANTOS SILVA.pdf: 874151 bytes, checksum: f1ff6c0afe3ba6f3f13fedd0302ab9a0 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2006-11-27 / The present study has inquired about the relationship between the satisfaction and dissatisfaction of the axiological priorities and the health and wellness in the job. It was assured that the impossibility of accomplishment of the job values is related to the mental illnesses of the workers, and this relation is moderated by the age and the hierarchical level. It took part in this study, 220 workers from a mixed economy enterprise, the general health questionnaire (GHQ) and the scale of values related to work (EVT). The results confirmed that there is a moderated effect of the age over the relationship between dissatisfaction of the prestige values and mistrust towards the own performance and the psichological stress. It has been recognized differents levels of work satisfaction values, according to the age, the hierarchical level and job tenure. It hasn t been found differences according to the education and to the gender. The dissatisfation of the accomplishment was related to sintomatic scores in all the items of the GHQ: psychological stress, disturbance in the sleep, insecurity about the own performance, psycossomatic disease, desire of death and health in general. As a matter of fact, the perstige dissatisfaction is related to the mistrust towards the own performance and the desire of death. Theses results are discussed according to a theoretical report about values and mental health at work, and considering the sample characteristics and the enterprise which the data were collected. / O presente estudo investigou a relação entre (in)satisfação das prioridades axiológicas e saúde-doença mental no trabalho. Considerou que a impossibilidade de realização dos valores relativos ao trabalho está relacionada ao adoecimento mental de trabalhadores, e que tal relação é moderada pela idade e nível hierárquico. Participaram do estudo 220 empregados de uma organização de economia mista. Foram utilizados o questionário de saúde geral (QSG), de Goldberg e a escala de valores relativos ao trabalho (EVT). Os resultados confirmaram o efeito moderacional da idade, sobre a relação entre insatisfação do valor prestígio e desconfiança no tocante ao próprio desempenho e o estresse psíquico. Foram identificados diferentes níveis de satisfação dos valores laborais, conforme a idade, o nível hierárquico e o tempo de serviço na organização. Não foram encontradas diferenças segundo o gênero e a escolaridade. A insatisfação do valor realização relacionou-se com escores sintomáticos em todos os fatores do QSG: estresse psíquico, transtornos psicossomáticos, distúrbios do sono, desconfiança em relação ao próprio desempenho, desejo de morte e saúde geral. Também a insatisfação do valor prestígio relacionou-se diretamente com desconfiança no tocante ao próprio desempenho e desejo de morte. Os resultados foram discutidos à luz de referencial teórico sobre valores e saúde mental no trabalho, considerando características da amostra e da organização em que os dados foram obtidos.

Na indústria da construção, as quedas de altura constituem-se em um dos tipos mais frequentes de acidentes graves. Alguns fatores contribuem para essas quedas, entre os quais se destacam a falta de qualificação dos trabalhadores, restrições de leiaute e a falta de barreiras de proteção contra quedas. Embora o uso de sistemas temporários de proteção periférica (SPP) seja uma medida importante para prevenir as quedas de altura em canteiros de obras, a literatura não apresenta um conjunto abrangente de requisitos para esses sistemas. As normas de segurança e saúde no trabalho na construção civil, tanto no Brasil como no exterior, apresentam vários requisitos aos quais os SPP devem atender. Contudo, a maioria destes requisitos são relacionados somente à resistência estrutural e à configuração geométrica, negligenciando a eficiência e flexibilidade dos mesmos, bem como não tratam dos processos de montagem e desmontagem. As limitações nos requisitos considerados em diversas fontes e a falta de métodos para verificar a conformidade dos SPP aos requisitos das normas (e outros requisitos relevantes) criam dificuldades para as partes interessadas, tais como órgãos governamentais de fiscalização, empresas construtoras, e os próprios operários encarregados pela execução dos SPP. O objetivo deste trabalho é propor um conjunto de requisitos de desempenho para sistemas temporários de proteção periférica. Estes requisitos foram identificados a partir de várias fontes de evidencia, tais como regulamentos, observações diretas de operações de montagem e desmontagem dos SPP em obras, análise de projetos de SPP, e entrevistas com especialistas. Deste modo, foi identificado um conjunto de 33 requisitos: 15 relativos à segurança, 12 à eficiência e 6 à flexibilidade. Com base nos referidos requisitos, foram avaliados 9 tipos de SPP, em 26 canteiros de obra. Estes SPP foram agrupados em três categorias de acordo com os materiais constituintes: metálicos, madeira e mistos. As principais contribuições deste estudo referem-se ao desenvolvimento de um conjunto amplo de requisitos, à análise das relações entre estes requisitos, indicando se estes podem reforçar-se mutuamente ou estar em conflito, e a proposição de um protocolo que torna claro as premissas adotadas em cada etapa da avaliação. / In the construction industry falls from height are one of the most frequent types of serious accidents. There are a number of factors that contribute for such falls, such as the lack of training for workers, layout constraints, and the lack of fall protection barriers. Although the use of temporary edge protection systems (TEPS) is an important measure to prevent falls from height in construction sites, the literature does not present a comprehensive set of requirements for those systems. Safety and health standards in construction, both in Brazil and abroad, have several requirements to which the SPP should meet. However, most of those standards are limited to structural strength and geometric configuration requirements, neglecting efficiency and flexibility, as well as do not address the assembly and disassembly processes. The limitations of requirements considered in several sources, and the lack of methods to verify the conformance of TEPS to the requirements established in standards (and other relevant requirements) create difficulties for stakeholders, such as government supervisory bodies, construction companies, and the workforce involved in the installation of TEPS. The aim of this study is to propose a set of performance requirements for temporary edge protection systems. These requirements have been identified from various sources, such as standards, direct observation od assembly and disassembly operations, analysis of TEPS design, and interviews with specialists. Thus, a set of 33 requirements were identified: 15 related to safety, 12 to efficiency and 6 to flexibility. Based on those requirements 9 TEPS solutions were evaluated in 26 construction sites. Those solutions were divided into three categories according to the materials used: metal, wood and mixed. The main contributions of this investigation refers to the development of a broad set of requirements, the analysis of the relationships between those requirements, indicating that these can either reinforce each other or be in conflict, and the proposal of a protocol that makes it clear the assumptions made at each evaluation stage.

Les nouveaux besoins en matière de soins et de prise en charge des patients ont contribué à la création des réseaux de santé. En plein développement, ils font partie intégrante du paysage du système sanitaire français. L’impact, pour les professionnels de santé, du travail en réseau fait aujourd’hui l’objet de plusieurs recherches et résultats contrastés, mais a peu été étudié du point de vue de la Psychologie Sociale, du Travail et des Organisations. Cette thèse a pour objectifs d’une part, de décrire les effets de la participation à un réseau de santé au niveau des pratiques professionnelles et au niveau de la santé psychique au travail, et d’autre part, d’examiner les variables et processus pouvant rendre compte de la variabilité de ces effets. Cette recherche privilégie une approche du réseau de santé comme un lieu potentiel de socialisation et de personnalisation (Malrieu & Malrieu, 1973) pour les professionnels qui en font partie La recherche sur le terrain a été réalisée en collaboration avec le réseau de santé ville-hôpital RéPPOP Midi-Pyrénées (Réseau Prévention et Prise en charge Obésité Pédiatrique) qui a la particularité de fonctionner sur la base de Trios/Duos de partenaires pour la prise en charge de l’enfant. Autour du médecin référent, ces partenaires peuvent être des diététicien(ne)s, des psychologues, des kinésithérapeutes… Nous posons l’hypothèse selon laquelle les effets de l’appartenance à un réseau de santé varient en fonction de variables individuelles (ancienneté de l’appartenance au réseau de santé et motivations initiales d’adhésion) et de variables organisationnelles (structuration en Duo/Trio et liens avec l’équipe de coordination du RéPPOP Midi-Pyrénées). Pour autant, une variable-clé, susceptible de moduler ces relations, sera placée au centre de notre recherche : la dynamique collective des Trios/Duos, analysée en référence aux concepts de « travail collectif », « collectif de travail » et « activité collective » (Caroly, 2010).Une étude par entretiens semi-directifs de recherche a été menée auprès de 20 professionnels libéraux et membres du réseau RéPPOP Midi-Pyrénées répartis en 4 Trios et 4 Duos. L’analyse des données a permis de caractériser trois types de dynamiques collectives différenciées quant aux ressorts du travail collectif, aux étayages du collectif de travail et à l’orientation intra-RéPPOP ou hors-RéPPOP de l’activité collective. Les résultats permettent d’appréhender comment chacune peut influer sur la relation entre transformation des pratiques et évolution de la santé psychique. De nouvelles perspectives de recherche et d’action auprès des partenaires du réseau sont proposées à l’issue de ces analyses. / The new needs as regards care and taking charge of patients have contributed to the creation of health networks. As they are growing fast, they are an integral part of the French sanitation system. The impact, on the health professionals, of networking is, today, the object of contrasted research and results, but has little been studied as far as Social Psychology, Work and Organizations are concerned. The aim of this thesis is, on the one hand, to describe the effects of the participation to a health network where professional practices and psychic health at work are concerned and, on the other hand, to examine the variables and process accounting for the variability of these effects. This research privileges an approach to the health network as a place of socialization and personalization (Malrieu & Malrieu, 1973). The research on the ground is carried out in collaboration with the health network town-hospital RéPPOP Midi-Pyrénées (Prevention and Taking charge of Pediatric Obesity Network) , which has the specificity to work on the basis of Trios/Duos of partners to take charge of children. Those partners can be doctors, dieticians, psychologists, physiotherapists… However , another key-variable, able to moderate these relationships, will be taken into account : the collective dynamics will be analyzed according to the theoretical concepts of “collective work”, “working collective” and collective activity (Caroly, 2010).We assume that the effects of being part of a health network vary according to individual variables ( length of time in the health network and initial adhesion motivations ) and to organizational variables ( structuring in Trios/Duos and links with the coordination team of the RePPOP Midi-Pyrénées ). Which will be modulated by the functioning dynamics between partners of the Trio/Duo. In a clinical approach, we have carried out semi-guided interviews with twenty private professionals and members of the RePPOP Midi-Pyrénées network, divided into 4 Trios and 4 Duos. The data analysis enabled us to characterize three kinds of collective dynamics, distinguished on collective work resources, working collective stayings and collective activity orientation. The results show how each pattern can have an influence on the relationship between practices changes and psychological health evolution. The results have enabled us to identify new explanatory elements of the variability due to belonging to a health network which supports research and application prospects on the ground next to the concerned professionals.

Η παρούσα διατριβή πολυπαραμετρικής ανάλυσης και αξιολόγησης των ενεργειών προαγωγής της υγείας και της ασφάλειας στις επιχειρήσεις ολοκληρώνεται με τη δόμηση ενός ολιστικού προτύπου διαχείρισης ποιότητας της εργασιακής ζωής. Στο πρώτο κεφάλαιο πραγματοποιείται επισκόπηση του πεδίου της υγιεινής και ασφάλειας (επιστημονικές μελέτες, νομοθετικό πλαίσιο, δράσεις κοινωνικών φορέων). Στο δεύτερο κεφάλαιο προσδιορίζεται το πεδίο έρευνας της διατριβής. Η προαγωγή της υγείας και της ασφάλειας αποτελεί σήμερα την αιχμή των ενεργειών πρόληψης των κινδύνων. Στο τρίτο κεφάλαιο καταγράφονται οι τεχνικές πραγματοποίησης και αναλύονται τα δεδομένα της εμπειρικής έρευνας (εξετάσεις, συμπεριφορά, οργάνωση, κοινωνικά προγράμματα, ασφάλεια και φυσικό περιβάλλον). Τέλος στο τέταρτο κεφάλαιο στοιχειοθετείται η τελική πρόταση που περιλαμβάνει τα κεντρικά αποτελέσματα της έρευνας. Δομείται ένα ολιστικό πρότυπο το οποίο απαντά στις απαιτήσεις συνολικότητας στην ποιοτική διαχείριση των επαγγελματικών κινδύνων. / The present thesis lies in the field of working health and safety promotion (WHSP) which is the enabler of all activities aiming at the prevention of occupational hazards.After an extended review of the related literature, legislation and social actions (Chapter 1), we concentrate on the role of WHSP and we develop a framework to be used in its study (Chapter 2). The 3rd chapter discusses the results of an empirical research conducted on the basis of the aforementioned framework that extends over the areas of health screening, health behaviour promotion, organizational change, social welfare and the physical environment. Finally, in the 4th Chapter, based on the results of our research and through a multi-factor analysis we arrive at a set of propositions which are integrated into an holistic model. The model can be used to provide guidelines in response to the requirements concerning occupational hazards within the framework of total quality management.

Les relations de travail et d'emploi sont devenues des enjeux importants en Chine. La Chine a ratifié 25 conventions internationales du travail et a travaillé en étroite collaboration avec l'OIT pour améliorer la sécurité et la santé au travail. Malgré ces efforts, la Chine est souvent critiquée pour des violations du travail. Face à ces problèmes, un système législatif d'administration de travail a été développé au niveau national. Mais l’application de ces règlements demeure problématique.. En particulier, les difficultés rencontrées par les inspecteurs du travail dans l'application de ces lois constituent un élément clé du problème. Notre mémoire s'intéresse essentiellement au rôle de l'inspecteur du travail dans l'administration publique de la sécurité du travail en Chine. Ces fonctionnaires jouent un rôle important et peuvent parfois exercer leur discrétion en tant qu'acteurs de première ligne, faisant d'eux de vrais décideurs politiques. Par conséquent, la compréhension de leur rôle et de leur discrétion dans l'application des normes du travail en Chine est cruciale. Notre mémoire est centré sur une étude de cas qualitative d'un bureau d'inspection du travail dans la région de Beijing. Dans le cadre de notre recherche nous avons examiné le rôle des inspecteurs du travail au moyen d’entretiens semi-structurés, d’une recherche documentaire ainsi qu’à l’occasion d’une brève observation des inspecteurs sur lors de la visite d’un lieu de travail. Les résultats démontrent que la définition du pouvoir discrétionnaire des inspecteurs du travail de première ligne en Chine est un enjeu très complexe. L’étude de cas permet cependant d’élaborer un cadre permettant l’identification des facteurs critiques déterminants pour l'évaluation et la compréhension de la nature du pouvoir discrétionnaire de l'inspecteur du travail en application de la loi. / Labour and employment relations have become important issues in China. China has ratified 25 international labour conventions and has worked closely with the ILO to improve occupational safety and health. Despite these efforts, China is often criticized for labour violations. China has in response built a relatively complete legal and regulatory picture of labour regulations nationwide. The problem facing China today is enforcing these laws and regulations. A key part of this problem is the critical question of examining the challenges faced by labour inspectors in implementing these laws. This research project focuses on the role of labour inspection in the public administration of work safety in China. These public servants play an important role and may at times exercise their own discretion as street-level actors, making them the real policy decision makers. Consequently, understanding their role and discretion in the application of labour standards in China is crucial. This research is a qualitative case study of one labour inspection office in the Beijing area and examines the role of labour inspectors through semi-structured interviews, documents, and a brief observation of labour inspectors on-the-job. The results indicate that defining the discretionary power of street-level labour inspectors in China is a very complex task, but a framework is developed through this case study to identify critical issues important to evaluating and understanding the nature of street-level labour inspector discretion in enforcement.

Sur leur lieu de travail, les individus sont confrontés à de nombreuses difficultés. Souvent, ces difficultés sont engendrées par de mauvaises conditions de travail qui génèrent des phénomènes de risques psychosociaux (RPS), susceptibles de nuire à la santé des salariés. En Sciences de la Gestion, les RPS sont l’objet d’un intérêt croissant, car ils ont aussi un impact sur la performance et sur la pérennité de l’entreprise. Alors qu’il existe des politiques et des pratiques de gestion des ressource humaines (GRH) mises en place par les entreprises pour faire face à ces risques, une démarche efficace n’est pas encore aboutie. Or, selon le modèle exigences/ressources (Demerouti et al., 2001), il existe des conditions de travail favorables (ressources) qui ont le potentiel de réduire ces risques, et qui font l’objet de ces travaux de recherche. Plus précisément, cette thèse s’interroge sur les représentations des salarié/es quant aux ressources qui ont le plus de potentiel pour réduire les effets des conditions de travail nocives. En même temps, nous faisons l’hypothèse que ces ressources sont aussi capables d’influencer la pérennité de l’entreprise, via la fidélisation des salarié/es. Nous avons mené une étude de cas au sein d’un groupe de l’agro-alimentaire, qui contrôle deux implantations industrielles qui ont conservé leur culture d’entreprise d’avant la fusion dans ce groupe. Nos résultats montrent que les salariés identifient quatre ressources (autonomie au travail, variété des tâches, bon climat social et soutien des supérieurs) qui ont plus de potentiel que d’autres pour compenser les conditions de travail contraignantes, et que ces ressources sont largement citées quel que soit le genre, le poste occupé, et le site. Il apparaît que ces mêmes ressources sont aussi capables d’influencer l’intention de rester des salarié/es dans l’entreprise. Cependant, ce ne sont pas toujours les pratiques de GRH qui créent ces ressources, mais –d’après les représentations des salariés- plutôt des valeurs liées à la culture d’entreprise précédant la fusion. Au-delà de la contribution à la théorie Exigences/Ressources, nos travaux souhaitent aussi contribuer à la prise de conscience, par les managers, de l’intérêt de certaines ressources pour la mise en place de meilleures conditions de travail et l’amélioration des stratégies de pilotage de la pérennité. / At the workplace, individuals face many challenges. Usually these difficulties are caused by poor working conditions that generate the phenomena of psychosocial risks factors (PRF), which can harm the health of employees. In management sciences, an increasing interest has set to PRF, particularly because they also have an impact on the performance and on the longevity of the company. The human resource management (HRM) policies and practices are made by companies to deal with these risks, but an effective approach is not yet achieved. According to the job demands / resources model (Demerouti et al., 2001), there are better working conditions (resources) that have the potential to buffer demands which causes PRF. Resources are the subject of this thesis.Precisely, this thesis questions the employees’ representations resources that have the greatest potential to buffer harmful working conditions. At the same time, we make the assumption that these resources are also able to influence the longevity of the firm, through employee loyalty. We conducted a case study within an agri-food group, which controls two industrial establishments which inherited their organizational culture before joining this group. Our results show that employees identify four resources (autonomy at work, task variety, good social climate and superiors support) that have more potential than others to buffer dangerous working conditions. Moreover, these resources are equally quoted in relation to gender, occupation, and industrial site. Furthermore, it appears that the same resources are also able to influence employees intention to remain in the group. However, it is not always the HRM practices that create these resources, but rather the values that are linked to the firm culture, before the merger.Beyond the contribution to the job demands / resources model, our research also aims to contribute to the managers' awareness of the value of certain resources to implement better working conditions and management strategies of longevity.

À partir des années 1990 la reconnaissance est de plus en plus souvent un mot d’ordre des mobilisations de groupes professionnels. Aujourd’hui, les sociologues du travail s’approprient de nouveau cette notion aux origines ambivalentes, après les travaux de R. Sainsaulieu et de P. Bernoux de la fin des années 1980. Les entretiens menés auprès de salariés en France montrent que les attentes de reconnaissance se déploient en quatre registres, l’activité, les relations, la récompense et la personne. Le découpage de l’activité et l’intensification du travail empêchent l’exercice de soi et le sentiment d’utilité dans l’activité, dans un contexte où la crainte de la précarité confine le plus souvent les plaintes au niveau individuel. Une comparaison entre des ingénieurs en France et en Finlande fait ressortir la mesure du temps de travail comme condition de la reconnaissance de la contribution et de la vie hors travail. Les analyses menées sur l’Enquête européenne sur les conditions de travail 2010 confirment la structure des attentes de reconnaissance pour les salariés du secteur privé en France bien que celle-ci varie dans le reste de l’Europe. Enfin, un modèle de médiation- modération souligne le rôle déterminant de la reconnaissance dans la construction de la santé au travail, notamment lorsqu’une plus grande implication est attendue des salariés. / Since the 1990’s, recognition has taken on greater importance as a watchword for mobilization by occupatio- nal groups. Nowadays, Labour sociologists have again appropriated this notion that has ambivalent origins, after R. Sainsaulieu and P. Bernoux’s works from the late 1980’s. Interviews carried out with employees from different firms in France show that recognition expectations open out into four categories, activity, relation- ships, reward and the person. The cutting up of activity and work intensification prevent the deployment of self-hood as well as the feeling of usefulness in a context where the lack of job security tends to limit complaints to the individual level. A comparison between engineers in France and in Finland emphasize working time measurement as a necessary condition for one’s contribution as well as time off work to be recognised. Factor analysis using the data of the European Working Conditions Survey 2010 confirm the structure of recognition expectations for French employees from the private sector, whereas it differs in the other European countries. Finally, the elaboration of a mediation-moderation model provides results that underline the key role of recognition in the building of health at work, notably when a greater involvement is expected from employees.
