Abstract

In this study, realized with 536 French Canadian employees, we examine the perceived influence of four Human Resource Processes (information-sharing, empowerment, competencies and recognition) on the organizational commitment and the discretionary behaviors, on the one hand, as well as the role of the organizational commitment (affective and continuance) in the motivation to mobilize some discretionary behaviors at work. The results of the regression analysis reveal that discretionary behaviors are more strongly mobilized when the employees have a strong level of affective attachment towards the organization. In addition, our results show that the perception of a high level of autonomy and influence in the work and the possibility of using his or her competencies have a strong independent positive influence on the mobilization of discretionary behaviors. Finally, this research highlights the predominant role of the non-monetary rewards and of procedural justice practices in the development of affective attachment with the organization and motivation of employees to mobilize for the success of the organization. Dans cette étude, réalisée auprès de 536 salariés et cadres québécois, nous examinons l'influence perçue de quatre processus de GRH (le partage d'information, l'empowerment, les compétences et la reconnaissance) sur l'engagement organisationnel et la mobilisation de comportements discrétionnaires au travail, d'une part, de même que le rôle de l'engagement organisationnel (affectif et continu) dans la motivation à mobiliser certains comportements discrétionnaires au travail. Les résultats de l'analyse multivariée révèlent que les comportements discrétionnaires sont plus fortement mobilisés lorsque les employés possèdent un fort niveau d'engagement affectif à l'égard de l'organisation. Nos résultats montrent par ailleurs qu'un fort sentiment d'autonomie et d'influence et la possibilité de pouvoir utiliser ses compétences au travail exercent une forte influence positive indépendante sur la mobilisation de comportements discrétionnaires. Enfin, cette recherche met en lumière le rôle important de la reconnaissance non-monétaire et de la justice procédurale dans la constitution d'un lien affectif avec l'organisation et la motivation des employés à se mobiliser pour le succès de l'organisation.
