ABSTRACT

Decent work is crucial for an individual’s life development and well-being. The psychology of working theory defines the relationship between micro and macro factors that might be strongly influenced by the context. The aim of this research was to study how people working in the formal and informal economy in Burkina Faso describe their working conditions and the notion of decent work and how economic constraints and marginalisation influence work volition, decent work and work fulfilment using a mixed method approach. A study shows that above and beyond the usual components, social recognition is an especially important aspect of decent work in this context (N = 51). A second study shows that economic constraints and marginalisation factors have an impact on obtaining a decent work, mediated by work volition, both being related to work fulfilment outcomes (N = 501). Results suggest that the objective and subjective components of decent work might refer to two aspects of the same reality.

摘要

体面的工作对于个人的生活发展和福祉至关重要。工作理论心理学定义了可能受上下文强烈影响的微观和宏观因素之间的关系。这项研究的目的是研究在布基纳法索的正规和非正规经济中工作的人们如何描述他们的工作条件和体面工作的概念，以及经济约束和边缘化如何使用混合方法来影响工作意愿，体面工作和工作成就。一项研究表明，在通常情况下，社会认可是体面劳动特别重要的方面（N= 51）。第二项研究表明，经济约束和边缘化因素对获得体面劳动产生影响，这是由工作意愿所介导的，两者都与工作成果相关（N = 501）。结果表明，体面劳动的客观和主观成分可能涉及同一现实的两个方面。
