| Résumé : |
A study of the psychodynamics of work was conducted in a banking sector enterprise to investigate the origin of mental suffering among managerial staff, causing an increased rate of absenteism. Group interviews were conducted to provide a better awareness of the subjective aspects of human behaviour, i.e. to "objectivise subjectivity". The results of the analysis, validated by each group, confirm that managerial staff rationalizes their helplessness and underestimates the work load of their employees, as defensive strategies to protect themselves against the psychological strains related to their work organisation. |
