Les déterminants de la charge de travail perçue dans deux services d’urgence hospitaliers en France

2013

Resume Cet article restitue une recherche sur la charge de travail des soignants dans les services hospitaliers des urgences, a travers des facteurs lies aux patients et a l’activite. A partir de 121 observations realisees dans deux hopitaux, couplees a l’echelle du NASA-TLX et un questionnaire ad hoc, cette recherche indique que les elements les plus contributifs des variations de charge de travail percue sont le comportement agite des patients et les difficultes de communication liees au handicap. En revanche, les variations de la quantite de tâches ne semblent pas influer sur la charge de travail ressentie par les soignants. Ceci tend a souligner que les relations avec les patients sont …

Analysis of contextual information sharing during table tennis matches: An empirical study on coordination in sports

2009

Abstract This study examined contextual information sharing between table tennis players during competitive interaction (two opponents during singles) and cooperative interaction (two partners during doubles) in a study based on the notion of shared context (Salembier & Zouinar, 2000) and conducted within the semiological framework of the course‐of‐action (Theureau, 2003). Matches were videotaped and players’ verbalizations as they viewed the tapes were collected a posteriori. The analysis and comparison of their courses of action served to characterize the nature and content of the contextual information that was shared between the players during singles and doubles matches. The results re…

Confort au travail : Le rôle de l'attachement et de la personnalisation dans la perception de la qualité de l'espace de travail

2014

International audience; Cet article a pour objet l’étude du lien qui unit la personnalisation de l’espace de travail, l’attachement à celui-ci et la qualité perçue de ce même espace de travail. Les sujets (N = 116) sont des employés travaillant dans le même bâtiment tertiaire. La capacité des bureaux à fournir une certaine intimité et favoriser l’appropriation par son occupant est également prise en compte (Open space, bureaux individuels ou partagés). Conformément à nos attentes, nous observons un lien entre personnalisation de l’espace de travail et attachement, ainsi qu’avec la qualité perçue de cet espace. Les résultats permettent également d’observer un lien robuste entre l’attachement…

Travailler plus longtemps ? Enjeux professionnels et non-professionnels des départs à la retraite dans l'enseignement

2016

Au Québec, en raison du vieillissement de la population et de l’introduction, par le gouvernement, de politiques de maintien en emploi, les enseignants sont incités à travailler plus longtemps. Dans cet article, nous nous demandons si les enseignants peuvent être sensibles à ces incitations, et cherchons à en comprendre les raisons en analysant les conditions d’enseignement et les trajectoires de vie. La recherche s’appuie sur 24 entretiens semi-dirigés auprès d’enseignants âgés de 50 ans et plus, exerçant à différents niveaux dans les commissions scolaires francophones. Nous montrons que les enseignants rencontrés n’envisagent pas, pour la plupart, de prolonger leur service dans l’enseigne…

Examining a negative halo effect to anabolic steroids users through perceived achievement goals, sportspersonship orientations, and aggressive tenden…

2013

We investigated the social image of anabolic steroids (AS) users grounding our analysis on the achievement goal theory of Nicholls. Our main goal was to explore how an athlete's acceptance of AS use would impact on the way that athlete will be perceived by others. Non-AS-using participants reacted to one of two scenarios portraying a male athlete either accepting or refusing to engage in drug use behavior. The results suggested that the acceptance of anabolic steroids yielded an unfavorable social image--perceivers inferred a predominant ego orientation to characterize the AS-user's motivation as well as weaker sportspersonship and a stronger proclivity for reactive aggression than instrume…

Public Attitudes Toward Reporting Partner Violence Against Women and Reporting Behavior

2006

Drawing from attitude-behavior research tradition, this study used a national probabilistic sample of the Spanish adult population (N= 2,432) to test hypotheses regarding correlates of public attitudes toward reporting partner violence against women, and the relationship between attitudes toward reporting and actual reporting behavior. Results show the importance of several correlates of public attitudes toward reporting. Also, our results have suggested a potential disconnect between attitudes and behavior because failure to intervene appears to be a common response of those aware of incidents of partner violence against women.

Apathy Towards the Integration of Usability Work: A Case of System Justification

2016

In this article we report from a case study of a software development organization and we study in particular the developers’ and product managers’ attitudes towards integrating usability work into software development. We offer explanations based on system justification theory illuminating what would-be integrators might be up against. The analysis shows how the developers only pay lip service to usability work and how they treat users superficially. It further shows how that leads to stereotyping of usability designers and users in order to preserve status quo, and how internalization of inequality between the developers and usability designers rationalizes the preservation of status quo.…

2020

Abstract Challenge is a key motivation for videogame play. But what kind of challenge types videogames include, and which of them players prefer? This article helps to answer the above questions by developing and validating Videogame Challenge Inventory (CHA), a psychometrically sound measurement for investigating players’ challenge preferences in videogames. Based on a review of literature, we developed a 38-item version of CHA that was included in a social media user survey (N = 813). An exploratory factor analysis (EFA) revealed a latent structure of five challenge types: Physical, Analytical, Socioemotional, Insight, and Foresight. CHA was amended in another EFA with USA-based survey da…

Digitalized bioeconomy: Planned obsolescence-driven circular economy enabled by Co-Evolutionary coupling

2019

Driven by digital solutions, the bioeconomy is taking major steps forward in recent years toward achievement of the long-lasting goal of transition from a traditional fossil economy to a bioeconomy-based circular economy. The coupling of digitalization and bioeconomy is leading towards a digitalized bioeconomy that can satisfy the shift in consumers’ preferences for eco-consciousness, which in turn induces coupling of up-down stream operation in the value chain. Thus, the co-evolution of the coupling of digitalization and bioeconomy and of upstream and downstream operations is transforming the forest-based bioeconomy into a digital platform industry. Aiming at addressing this transformation…
