Abstract

Reductions in state subsidies to local authorities have led to paradoxes - or contradictions - in the way French civil servants carry out their public service missions. As a result, they are experiencing increased stress and discomfort in the workplace. The 2023 edition of the "La Gazette"-MNT barometer of territorial civil servants' wellbeing (Ginibrière, 2023) shows that job satisfaction is down on 2019. Civil servants are feeling more pressure from both users and their superiors. We would like to study the antecedents of wellbeing at work among French territorial civil servants, using the Job Demands-Resources model (Demerouti et al., 2001).. The antecedents selected are Paradoxical Leadership (paradox management from New Public Management), adapted to the public sector (Backhaus et al., 2021; Y. Zhang et al., 2012) and Public Service Motivation (De Simone et al., 2016; Perry, 1996; Perry & Wise, 1990) mediated by burnout and work engagement. Our results show a strong link between these antecedents and wellbeing at work, and the interaction found between paradoxical leadership and public service motivation is a potential lever for improving civil servants' wellbeing.
