| Résumé : |
Work is the essence of human beings. It constitutes an essential component of one’s identity. Over the past decades, various problems such as stress at work, workaholism, suffering at work, and burnout have increased, leading to numerous work-related pathologies. Work is certainly fundamental and beneficial for people but can become painful and a source of psychological distress. This is the case for the phenomenon of boreout, also known as professional exhaustion due to boredom. The conservation of resources theory offers a relevant analytical framework for understanding boreout. Indeed, when boredom at work is permanent, it may become pathological and lead to boreout. Although publicized in the public sector, boreout can also concern the private sector. The main objective of this research is to identify the organizational causes of boreout in the private sector. To this end, a qualitative exploratory study was conducted. Interviews with twenty-one employees working in the Tunisian private sector revealed that the experience of boreout can result from the lack of activity, simple tasks devoid of interest, from monotony due to the repetitive nature of tasks, from a mismatch between education and position, from the lack of novelty, career development opportunities and intellectual challenge, and finally, from a total lack of autonomy. |
