Abstract

Cette recherche porte sur la relation entre affectivite negative (N.A.), definie comme une disposition individuelle tendant a faire eprouver surtout les etats emotionnels aversifs, et la satisfaction affirmee dans le travail. Deux experiences sont menees. La premiere, de type factoriel, a lieu en labo et manipule 2 V.I : La nature de la tâche (enrichie ou pauvre) et le niveau de N.A des sujets (bas ou haut). La seconde experience, de type correlationnel, a lieu en dimension reelle (N: 315 employes). Un plaidoyer est fait pour une meilleure prise en compte des variables dispositionnelles comme source des attitudes liees au travail
