Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to analyze the effect of quality of working life on professional stress and drug addiction among workers in the agro-food companies of Abidjan. To do this, a sample of 448 male study participants was drawn up using the on-site sampling method. A questionnaire submitted to this sample made it possible to collect the research data. Processing these data with the Chi-square test leads to results which reveal the existence of a significant relationship between the quality of working life and the negative professional reactions of workers. In other words, the quality of working life has a significant effect, both on professional stress and on workers’ drug addiction. This result implements one of the major challenges of the management of modern organizations which consists in placing the human being and interpersonal relationships at the heart of managerial action. Thus, particular emphasis should be placed on the quality of interpersonal relationships favourable to a healthy social climate, guaranteeing well-being at work.
