Abstract

Introduction and objectives: In a context where Ivorian companies are suffering the effects of the crisis situation that the country has gone through and stress factors at work, many workers encounter problems related to mental and physical health. The individual and collective life of the persons at work is then put to the test. In particular, Abidjan workers are increasingly demanding in terms of well-being in their workplace. The present study therefore aims to explain the level of well-being at work by interactional factors such as enmity and respect at work. Method: The study sample consists of 400 workers. These are selected by the quota method. The data collection instrument is a multidimensional questionnaire including a measure of well-being at work: that of the Duke Health Profile (DHP). This questionnaire was subject to a multi-step validation procedure. The data collected from workers are analyzed by T test and Anova techniques. Results: The results show that enmity and respect at work have a significant effect on people's well-being at work. Conclusion: Thus, the level of well-being of workers is high on the one hand when there is no enmity at work and, on the other hand, when there is respect at work. These results suggest to take into account the variables enmity and respect at work when reinforcing people’s well-being at work.
