“…using changes in the intensity of grief over time as a marker. The available data indicate that there is a significant reduction in the intensity of grief by about 6 months postmiscarriage, suggesting that the duration of grief following pregnancy loss is similar to the duration of grief after other types of significant losses 3,19,[21][22][23] . One variable that seems to affect the duration of grief following a miscarriage is a subsequent pregnancy.…”

“…This psychic work allows the ego to become autonomous again, this is to say, to be able to live with the absence of the beloved object and redirect the individual's investments to new objects. The grief process, which can last 2 to 24 months in the organizational context (Bell and Taylor, 2011;Hazen, 2008;Maciejewski et al, 2007;Prigerson et al, 1997;Zell, 2003) ends when the individual understands that the libidinal bond with the lost object is gone (Bell and Taylor, 2011). Alternatively, the individual suffers from a psychological state in which the loss of the beloved object changes into an obsessive and aggressive attack against the ego, which can prevent forgiveness, and maintain resentment and willingness to take revenge.…”

Résumé de l'article Cet article adopte une perspective clinique fondée sur le cadre théorique du deuil afin de d'examiner les réactions à la violation du contrat psychologique au cours d'une période de 12 mois. En se centrant sur les phénomènes émotionnels propres à l'individu, notre étude apporte des éléments d'observation des effets durables que peut engendrer la violation du contrat psychologique chez les personnes concernées, et de la manière dont ces effets altèrent leur relation d'emploi avec l'entreprise.Nous avons mené, au total, 60 entretiens auprès de 11 gestionnaires d'une agence de travail temporaire qui a mis en place une série de changements organisationnels importants, portant essentiellement sur des restructurations et coupures de poste. Les 11 gestionnaires interrogés furent sélectionnés après avoir vérifié, au préalable lors d'une enquête brève, qu'ils avaient bien vécu un sentiment de violation du contrat psychologique.Nos résultats montrent que la violation du contrat psychologique ne pousse le sujet à effectuer un travail de deuil que lorsque cette violation prive l'individu d'un objet fortement investi au travail. Dans ces circonstances, le deuil est un processus plus long que nous l'avions anticipé, puisqu'à l'issue de la période de collecte (soit 12 mois), nous n'avons pas été en mesure d'observer l'ensemble du processus chez les participants. Nos résultats indiquent aussi que le processus de deuil peut être accéléré ou ralenti selon la capacité de l'organisation et de l'individu à offrir ou trouver de nouveaux objets qui satisfont les besoins de l'individu et l'aident à accepter la perte vécue lors de la violation. Finalement, nos résultats montrent que le processus de deuil conduit à une modification importante de la relation d'emploi et qu'il change tant le contenu que l'intensité de l'énergie que les participants consacrent à leur travail. What's Next after Psychological Contract Violation?Sylvie Guerrero and Mickael Naulleau this article adopts a clinical perspective based on the theoretical framework of grief in order to examine individuals' reactions following psychological contract violation. By focusing on emotional intra-psychic phenomena, the study provides evidence of the enduring effects of psychological contract violation on individuals and the employment relationship. sixty interviews conducted among eleven managers of a temporary employment agency experiencing ...

“…Diagnosis was memorable for all the young people in the interviews, with descriptions of shock and disbelief experienced by young people and their parents. This relates to a number of the coping theories outlined in Table 1 (Shontz, 1975;Horwitz, 1976;Maciejewski, 2007;).…”

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between information and coping from the experiences of young people coping with long term illness. Design/methodology/approach -Situational analysis was used as a methodological approach. It has roots in the Chicago Symbolic Interactionism School. Cartographic approaches enabled the analysis, mapping the complexities emerging from the data. Findings -As the young people became more informed about their health conditions, and gained knowledge and understanding both about their illnesses, their own bodies and boundaries, their confidence and capacity to cope increased. Gaining confidence, the young people often wanted to share their knowledge -becoming information providers themselves. From the data, five positions on an information-coping trajectory were identified: information deficiency; feeling ill-informed; needing an injection of information; having information health; and becoming an information donor.Research limitations/implications -The research was limited to an analysis of 30 narratives. The paper contributes to information theory by mapping clearly the relationship between information and coping. Practical and social implications -The study establishes a relationship between levels of information and knowledge and the ability to cope with illness. Originality/value -The information theories in this study have originality and multi-disciplinary value in the management of health and illness, and information studies.
