Abstract

Le travail occupe de nos jours une place importante dans la vie des individus. Il constitue un moyen privilégié pour se réaliser et s'insérer dans la société. Cependant, au cours de ces dernières décennies, le travail a subi d'importantes mutations affectant l'environnement du travail. La digitalisation, l'automatisation du travail, la précarité de l'emploi et les périodes de restructuration ont ainsi bouleversé le rapport de l'individu avec son travail. Si certains employés semblent surchargés jusqu'à l'épuisement, d'autres, à l'opposé, semblent mourir d'ennui au travail. Se retrouver dans une situation d'ennui mortel au travail peut conduire les employés à l'épuisement professionnel ou bore-out. Or, le bore-out peut générer des conséquences néfastes et constituer une source de souffrance pour les employés concernés. En effet, la souffrance au travail survient lorsque l'employé se heurte à des expériences psychologiques insurmontables et déstabilisantes. De nombreux auteurs associent le concept de « bore-out » à celui de « souffrance au travail », sans pour autant énoncer explicitement la manière dont ils sont associés ; d'où l'intérêt de comprendre en profondeur la relation entre ces deux concepts. Pour ce faire, des entretiens en profondeur auprès de 22 employés appartenant à des fonctions différentes nous ont permis de constater que la situation de bore-out vécue par nos informants génère de nombreux sentiments (inutilité, honte, tristesse, frustration et stagnation mentale) à l'origine d'une grande souffrance au travail.
