Résumé
De nombreux Canadiens vivent un conflit entre emploi et responsabilités de soin à un proche dépendant, entraînant des difficultés à se maintenir sur le marché du travail. La recherche concernant le soutien organisationnel aux employés proches aidants étant encore jeune, nous avons entrepris une recherche exploratoire visant à identifier les formes de soutien auxquelles les proches aidants ont réellement accès en milieu de travail. Des entrevues semi-dirigées ont été menées entre 2014 et 2015 auprès d’employés proches aidants québécois (N=23). Notre analyse indique que l’accès aux mesures de conciliation travail-famille dépend presque exclusivement de la relation avec le supérieur.
Mots-clés :
- conciliation travail-famille,
- proches aidants,
- soutien organisationnel perçu,
- soutien du superviseur perçu,
- aménagements flexibles du temps de travail
Abstract
Conflicts between work and eldercare roles are common among Canadians and tend to trigger difficulties in remaining in employment. Literature about workplace support to employed caregivers is still inconsistent which is why we have undertaken an exploratory study whose aim was to identify which kinds of support caregivers actually access at work. Semi-directive interviews were led between 2014 and 2015 with Quebec employed caregivers (N=23). Our analysis shows that access to work-life balance measures essentially depends on the relationship with the supervisor.
Keywords:
- work-life balance,
