Article
Self-esteem: a mediator between feelings of self-efficacy and positive well-being at work?
For a long time, studies have focused on poor health at work, yet it is also relevant to look at the sources of well-being at work. Through an online questionnaire, several hundred employees provided us with information about their relationships at work and their feelings of self-esteem and personal efficacy. These results reinforce the idea that a work environment that supports and encourages a sense of personal efficacy, while preserving workers' self-esteem, is one of the levers for developing employee well-being.
Article
When impostor syndrome influences feedback seeking: A study of the relationship between impostor syndrome and the seeking strategies used in employees.
The impostor syndrome is a frequent phenomenon that can have deleterious consequences for the individual from a psychological point of view. It is a vicious circle in which the individual perceives feedback as a threat. This syndrome seems to impact the individual’s feedback seeking strategies. The aim of our study is to show that impostor syndrome will have an effect on the type of feedback seeking used by employees with their supervisor.

Quality of life, well-being, mental health at work: does it really make a difference for employees?
There's no shortage of terms for addressing the issues of well-being and health in the workplace, but can any one of them replace the other? To answer this question, and to understand how employees perceive quality of life, well-being and mental health at work, discover who is best placed to support employees on these issues, and address the consequences of the health crisis on the perception of these subjects, the Moodwork research center surveyed nearly 500 French employees.
