Sport fans develop strong loyalties to their favorite teams, but there has been little research conducted on when this loyalty is formed. Previous research suggests that loyalty can form at very young ages, but it is difficult to classify young children based on age due to their rapid development over short periods of time. This is why it is necessary to use cognitive development stages to classify groups of young subjects in order to accurately group their predictive actions and abilities. Very little research has been done on sport loyalty development, especially using cognitive development as a categorizing tool. It is this report’s suggestion that more research must be done on this subject to truly understand the implications of this measurement tool and its effects on the development of loyalty. / text

L’objectif de cette thèse est de comprendre l’influence de l’équité sur la fidélité des cadres du secteur de la téléphonie mobile en Côte d’Ivoire. En nous appuyant sur la revue de la littérature, nous avons construit un modèle de recherche et formulé des hypothèses.Les données collectées auprès de 111 salariés cadres ont été analysées en suivant une approche plutôt quantitative. Les principaux résultats obtenus mettent en évidence que l’équité a une influence sur la fidélité des cadres. Mais cette relation entre ces deux variables est essentiellement indirecte. Cela suppose que certains facteurs importants, en l’occurrence la satisfaction des salariés, jouent un rôle majeur sur la fidélité des salariés. Enfin, la relation entre l’équité et la fidélité est fortement modérée par des paramètres personnels, principalement celui relatif à l’âge des salariés. / The intent of this thesis is to understand the influence of equity on the executives’ loyalty, especially those working in the mobile phone industry in Ivory Coast. Relying on literature review, we built a research model and came up with hypotheses.Data collected from 111 salaried managers have been quantitatively analyzed. The principal results exhibit the impact of equity on managers’ loyalty. However, the relationship between those two variables is essentially indirect. These imply that other relevant factors, in this case the satisfaction of the wage-earner, significantly impact the loyalty of the salaried managers. Finally, the relationship between equity and loyalty is strongly moderated by personal parameters, mainly the one related to the age of employees.
