L'adaptation à la demande psychologique au travail : le rôle de l'autodétermination et de l'autonomie décisionnelle afin de prédire l'épuisement professionnel

The aim of this study is to examine the individual differences inherent to the use of job control in a high job demands context in order to predict burnout. A three-way interactive effect has been demonstrated between job demands, job control and self-determined work motivation predicting each dimension of burnout (emotional exhaustion, depersonalization and personal accomplishment). A high level of job control attenuates the relation between job demands and the negative dimensions of burnout (emotional exhaustion and depersonalization) among high self-determined employees. A high level of job control increases the relation between job demands and the sense of personal accomplishment only in high self-determined employees. The results add certain nuances to the Job Demand-Control model by demonstrating the moderating role of self-determination in predicting burnout
