Abstract

This study tested with Gabonese employees (N = 146) an organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) model based on the motivational model of job burnout (MMJB). It was hypothesized that the more supervisors will satisfy employee's needs for self-determination, competence, and relatedness, the more employee work motivations will be self-determined. Supervisory style and motivation will then predict job satisfaction which then influences life satisfaction. Work motivation and job satisfaction should also determine OCB and the latter should then influence life satisfaction. Structural equation modeling analyses mostly confirmed the model. One unexpected link was that altruism OCB was negatively predicted by self-determined motivations which then negatively predicted life satisfaction. Results support SDT showing, as such, that a behavior regulated by non-self-determined motivations will negatively affect well-being. Cette étude vérifie auprès d'employés gabonais (N = 146) un modèle de comportements organisationnels discrétionnaires (COD) basé sur le modèle motivationnel de l'épuisement professionnel. Il postule que plus le style de mobilisation du supérieur satisfait les besoins d'autodétermination, de compétence et d'attachement, plus la motivation sera autodéterminée et meilleure sera la satisfaction au travail; en retour, ces variables influenceront positivement l'adoption de COD altruistes et consciencieux, lesquels auront finalement des répercussions positives sur la satisfaction de vie. Des analyses de modélisation confirment dans l'ensemble ce modèle. La motivation autodéterminée était toutefois négativement reliée aux comportements altruistes, lesquels prédisaient d'ailleurs négativement la satisfaction de vie. Ces résultats appuient également la théorie de l'autodétermination selon laquelle les comportements issus d'une motivation non autodéterminée affectent négativement le bien-être.
