Il fait état des déterminants, des manifestations cognitives, émotionnelles, physiologiques et comportementales des participants, des stratégies d’adaptation privilégiées et des conséquences de l’anxiété de performance au travail rapportés par les participants. Il contribue à la compréhension du phénomène en milieu du travail ainsi qu’à l’identification de pistes de recherches futures et de recommandations.

Abstract
Although performance anxiety is well documented in music, school, and sports, very few studies have looked at the phenomenon in the workplace. This article describes an exploratory study conducted with ten participants who experienced performance anxiety at work. It describes participants’ anxiety performance determinants, cognitive, emotional, physiological and behavioural manifestations, preferred coping strategies and consequences. This study contributes to the understanding of the phenomenon in the workplace as well as to the identification of avenues for future research and recommendations.
