“…Our results also reveal some differences in relation to the international literature (see Table 2). In Africa, factors related to the working environment, such as organisational support, good relations with superiors (Chirdan et al, 2009;Levesque et al, 2004;Mafini and Dlodlo, 2014;Munyeka, 2014;Olorunsola, 2010;Pillay, 2009), quality of life at work, teamwork (Mafini and Dlodlo, 2014), the relationship with colleagues (Olorunsola, 2010;Pillay, 2009) and the sense of belonging to a community (Pillay, 2009), are those most strongly correlated with the job satisfaction of public sector employees. These results confirm those of Yang and Wang (2013) in China and Abdulla et al (2011) in the United Arab Emirates.…”

“…In South Africa, Mafini and Dlodlo (2014) show that extrinsic motivators, such as pay, quality of life at work, supervision and teamwork, are positively and significantly correlated with the job satisfaction of public sector employees. Similarly, Munyeka (2014) shows that perceived organisational support is positively associated with the job satisfaction of South African officials. Pillay (2009), meanwhile, shows that public sector nurses in South Africa are satisfied with the rewards they get in return for caring for patients, with their relationships with colleagues and doctors, and with the sense of belonging to the communities in which they work.…”

In this study, we present a review of public agents' job satisfaction in Africa between 1990 and 2014. Using the systematic review methodology, we analyse and put in perspective 22 English and French publications on this subject. Results suggest that work environment attributes are the most important antecedents of job satisfaction among African public servants, whereas the effects of personal and work characteristics are marginal. We also found that most of the research dedicated to job satisfaction in Africa relied primarily on theoretical frameworks developed in Western countries. This leads to unexpected results, indicating the need to fit the research models to local specificities. The consequences of job satisfaction in Africa and suggestions for future research are also discussed. Points for practitioners This contribution allows practitioners to obtain an overview of the factors that promote the satisfaction/dissatisfaction of public sector employees in Africa. It helps them identify factors on which to act for the implementation of effective personnel policies geared towards the officials' performance and welfare. The results suggest paying attention to factors related to the working environment (such as the atmosphere at work, organisational support and working conditions) in order to enhance effectively job satisfaction in African public organisations. However, practices such as the establishment of clear objectives and procedures, autonomy, work content, and the recognition of effort are not to be overlooked.

“…Nos résultats révèlent également quelques différences par rapport à la littérature internationale (voir Tableau 2). En Afrique, les facteurs liés à l'environnement du travail tels que le soutien organisationnel, les bonnes relations avec le supérieur hiérarchique (Mafini et Dlodlo, 2014 ;Munyeka, 2014 ;Olorunsola, 2010 ;Chirdan et al, 2009 ;Pillay, 2009 ;Levesque et al, 2004), la qualité de vie au travail, le travail en équipe (Mafini et Dlodlo, 2014), la relation avec les collègues (Olorunsola, 2010 ;Pillay, 2009) et l'appartenance à une communauté (Pillay, 2009) sont les plus fortement corrélés avec la satisfaction au travail des agents publics. Ces résultats rejoignent ceux de Yang et Wang (2013) en Chine et d 'Abdulla et al (2011) aux Émirats Arabes Unis.…”

Revue Internationale des Sciences Administratives Satisfaction au travail dans les administrations publiques en Afrique : Une revue systématique de la littérature Fanou Arsène Vigan et David Giauque 1 Résumé 2 Cette étude décrit l'état de la recherche sur la satisfaction au travail dans les administrations publiques en Afrique entre 1990 et 2014. Utilisant la méthodologie de la revue systématique, 22 publications anglophones et francophones sur le sujet sont analysées et mises en perspective. Les résultats montrent que les caractéristiques liées à l'environnement du travail sont les déterminants majeurs de la satisfaction au travail des agents publics africains. Les caractéristiques individuelles des agents et les caractéristiques liées au travail ont une influence marginale. Les résultats soulignent également que les études consacrées à la satisfaction au travail en Afrique mobilisent des cadres théoriques utilisés dans les pays occidentaux. De tels procédés de recherches produisent bien souvent des résultats inattendus soulignant l'intérêt de la prise en compte des spécificités locales dans les modèles de recherche. Les conséquences de la satisfaction au travail en Afrique et les voies de recherches futures sont aussi abordées. Remarques pour les praticiens Cette contribution permet aux praticiens d'obtenir une vue générale sur les facteurs qui favorisent la satisfaction/l'insatisfaction des agents publics en Afrique. Elle les aide à identifier des facteurs sur lesquels agir pour la mise en oeuvre de politiques du personnel efficaces orientées vers la performance et le bien-être des agents. Les résultats suggèrent qu'il faut porter une attention particulière aux facteurs liés à l'environnement du travail (tels que la bonne ambiance au travail, le soutien organisationnel, les conditions de travail) pour agir plus efficacement sur la satisfaction au travail dans les organisations publiques africaines. Cependant, les pratiques telles que la mise en place d'objectifs et de procédures clairs, l'autonomie, le contenu du travail et la reconnaissance des efforts ne sont pas à négliger. Mots-clés : satisfaction au travail, Afrique, administration en transition, politiques du personnel.

Purpose -Due to the lack of physical activities and the increase of sedentary behaviors such as screen time, the health condition for contemporaries has been deteriorating. This study is designed to investigate how the use of worktable or tools unfit for body and sedentary behaviors can exercise influence on muscular skeletal disease and how it has an impact on lowering work efficiency and the quality of life with the medium of the muscular skeletal disease. Research design, data, and methodology -The research has developed a questionnaire with 5 hypothesis. The questionnaires were also made by interview and E-mail. 350 copies of questionnaires were distributed and 315 questionnaire were used for the analysis as valid data responses. SPSS ver.22.0 were used and made Cronbach's and reliability test, correlation, Baron & α Kenny 3 step mediated regression analysis.Results -The research has found that living environment factors have positive effect on the occurrence of musculosketal disease. Particularly, repeated use of unfit worktable or tools has a positive effect on the muscular skeletal disorder. And sedentary lifestyle also has a positive effect on the disease. The musculoskeletal disease caused by living environment has a positive impact on lowering the work efficiency. This study has also showed that the muscular skeletal disease has mediated the relationship between the living environment factors and the decrease of work efficiency due to musculoskeletal disease. The musculoskeletal disorders can effect the decrease of the quality of life as well, for the decrease of work efficiency has a positive effect on lowering the quality of life. Conclusions -Sedentary lifestyles, the use of worktable unfit for body, and the repeated use of a tool have caused the increase of muscular-skeletal diseases, and reduction of productivity as well as the hight cost of medical treatment for our contemporaries. Understanding the cause of disease morbidity, finding ways to prevent the disease, and educating people about them would contribute not only to improvement of individual health but also to the advancement of welfare for all.
