L'intensité du travail. Formes et effets

Abstract

During the 1980?s and 90?s, while the organizations of firms and work deeply changed, some various forms of work intensity became more frequent. This intensification is a cause, among others, of the degradation of the working conditions felt by the employees. Everything else being equal, work intensity is associated with physical and psychological pains and with occupational hazards. Defective organizations, which poorly control complexity, are particularly pernicious. However, intensification is not a mere deterioration of work. It may in some cases correspond to a compensated and satisfying self-investment. But it implies a higher risk of mental pain.
