PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to propose to test a research model to gain a better understanding of the connection between perceived support, trust, satisfaction, intention to quit and citizenship at the organizational level.Design/methodology/approachA total of 355 white‐collar employees were recruited among alumni of a business school in France. Structural equation modeling was used to test the predicted relationships.FindingsExcept for the relation between perceived organizational support (POS) and intention to leave, study results showed strong support in favour of the different hypothetical relations in the research model.Research limitations/implicationsThe results are based on a single sample and a transversal research design. For these reasons, the data should be approached with caution.Practical implicationsThe paper highlights the importance of considering trust over and above organizational efforts directed at supporting employees through a show of appreciation for their contribution and concern for their well‐being.Originality/valueThis paper provides data that lead to a better understanding of the relationship between POS, trust and satisfaction for the purpose of predicting outcomes such as intention to leave an organization and citizenship behaviour towards an organization.
La présente étude se propose d’explorer un domaine émergent dans le champ des sciences de la gestion : l’usage d’outils de réalité virtuelle dans le processus de recrutement. Nous nous intéressons en particulier à l’utilisation croissante des serious games (ou jeux sérieux) par les entreprises. Cette utilisation croissante, qui trouve notamment écho dans la presse managériale, semble correspondre à une évolution profonde, en partie commandée par l’évolution technologique et par le souhait de certaines entreprises de mettre en place des procédés innovants pour susciter des candidatures ciblées et sélectionner efficacement les postulants. Notre revue de littérature, menée dans le domaine des sciences de gestion mais également dans les domaines de l’apprentissage médiatisé et de l’usage des jeux vidéo, a été complétée par une étude exploratoire auprès d’experts suivant la méthode Delphi. Ceci nous a permis de mettre en évidence les enjeux psychologiques et managériaux liés à l’utilisation des serious games dans le processus de recrutement, et de dégager un certain nombre de voies de recherche potentiellement fructueuses dans le domaine de la gestion des ressources humaines.
This paper addresses workers' loyalty toward a temp agency. Loyalty reduces contact and management costs, so temp agencies attempt to retain valuable workers. The study therefore focuses on factors that attach workers to their temp agency. This study offers an interdisciplinary approach, according to which the temporary worker is both an employee and a client of the agency. It highlights important factors that determine temp workers' loyalty to the agency, using a relational perspective. A hybrid model, based on social exchange theory, integrates services marketing and human resource management literature to explain the attachment of temporary workers to an agency. Social exchange theory offers an integrative framework for explaining a person's loyalty to an organisation (employer or supplier), based on reciprocity.
International audienceThe temporary help service sector has developed widely over the last thirty years, in response to firms’quantitative flexibility needs. In order to defend their position on the market, the temporary help service (THS) agencies seek to maintain a long term relationship with the temporary workers whose skills are demanded on the local labor market. A qualitative study of 45 THS professionals (both temporary workers and THS professionals) leads us to a better understanding of the relationship between these two types of actors. Loyalty to the THS agency appears to be complex and multifactor, based on the attempts to ensure a continuous job period, perception of support from the agency, quality of the relationship between people, relationships of trust and reciprocity, and normalization of THS worker status. However, this retention process raises numerous issues, both legal and symbolic, reflecting a persistent stigmatization of precarious employment.Les entreprises de travail temporaire se sont fortement développées depuis ces trente dernières années en réponse aux politiques de flexibilité quantitatives externes des entreprises. Pour soutenir la concurrence, elles cherchent à maintenir une relation de long terme avec certains intérimaires dont les compétences sont recherchées sur un bassin d’emploi. Une étude qualitative menée auprès de 45 professionnels de l’intérim permet de mieux comprendre la relation entre ces deux types d’acteurs. La fidélisation de l’intérimaire à l’agence d’intérim apparaît être un processus complexe et multifactoriel, qui repose sur la sécurisation des parcours, la perception de soutien de l’agence, la qualité de la relation entre les personnes, la construction de liens de confiance et de réciprocité et la normalisation du statut d’intérimaire. Il faut toutefois noter que ce processus de fidélisation se heurte à des obstacles à la fois juridiques et symboliques, qui témoignent d’une stigmatisation persistante des emplois « précaires »
