This research examines the relationship between the perception of transformational leadership, the autonomous motivation of employees and their performance at work. More specifically, it explores the mediating effect of autonomous motivation, considered to be the most suitable form of motivation for the development of a sustainable performance (Gagné et Deci, 2005; Gagné et Forest, 2009; Roussel et Fall, 2021). The data come from a survey of 158 workers, drawn through a convenience sampling, of a Senegalese public hospital. The results, from a structural equations approach and the test of the indirect effects, reveal that the perception of transformational leadership has an effect on the autonomous motivation of the agents, and on their job performance. However, it does not directly affect the contextual performance of the agents. On the other hand, the autonomous motivation of agents exerts a total mediating effect between the perception of a transformational leadership and contextual performance. However, it exerts only a partial mediating effect between transformational leadership and performance in the task.

This article investigates the role of Pedagogical Counsellors (CPs) in francophone higher education in Quebec, through a detailed lexicometric analysis of 172 job postings from 2022 to 2023. The study identifies essential competencies that institutions demand from CPs. The results demonstrate that CPs must master a diverse array of skills spanning educational, digital, organizational, interpersonal, and contextual realms. Key skills identified include digital integration, project management, communication, and an in-depth understanding of the institutional environment. The analysis emphasizes the critical need for CPs to be versatile and adaptable, equipped to handle resistance to change in a dynamically evolving educational landscape. This research considerably enhances our comprehension of the crucial role played by CPs, highlighting the importance of continuous professional development to adeptly navigate both present and future challenges in higher education. The findings advocate for increased recognition of the CP profession and propose strategic pathways for their professional development. Findings also accentuate the indispensable role of these educational professionals in shaping academic settings, reinforcing their position as pivotal figures in the educational framework.

In the Sahelian region of Burkina Faso, the dominant livestock keeping system is the pastoral system characterized by a high dependence on natural resources. Currently, the traditional practices are not any more able to respond efficiently to the recurrent animal's feeding and watering problems. The range of herd mobility, the transhumance has become more important and the stays in the destination sites are becoming longer. This present work aims to make a baseline on the transhumance practices and its perspectives in the context of ongoing great mutation of livestock production system in the Sahel. Household surveys with 111 transhumant pastoralist, coupled with semi structured interview with 16 key informants were conducted. Results show that, transhumance is an animal production system in expansion in the Sahel. Herd mobility is mainly due to lack of forages and water resources (88%). Departure to, and return from transhumance as well as the time spent in transit zones and the distance travelled depend on the availability of pastures resources. The itinerary analyses showed a first group of transhumant having their destination toward Béli and Republic of Mali, and the second group move southward to Gourma region of Burkina Faso, and neighbouring countries such Ghana, Benin and Togo. The main constraints of transhumance are access to watering point (19.4 %), conflicts and animals rob (19.7 %), crops fields damage (41 %) and high taxes payment (21 %). Action to be taken for the future of transhumance, are creation of pastoral zones (47%), digging of pastoral wells (53%) and dam (52%); and establishment and maintenance of transhumance routes (21%). Based on the analyses of the constraints, propositions were formulated for adaptation and improvement of the production system in relation to the key issues and challenges: i) the creation of pastoral zones, ii) securisation of transhumance routes and pastures areas iii) improvement of transhumance practices and iv) capacity building of transhumant pastoralists.

The prevalence of post-COVID telework requires a study of its various aspects, particularly the relational ones, and their impacts on teleworkers. It is thought that teleworking impoverishes both formal and informal exchanges at the expense of the workers’ wellbeing (Ruiller et al., 2017). This study of telework post-COVID investigates the link between the quality of relationships with colleagues and supervisors and psychological well-being at work, as well as the moderating effects of job seniority and the number of teleworking days per week. The study, using a self-reported questionnaire, was conducted with 123 workers who telework at least one day a week. The following were questioned: the quality of relationships with colleagues (TMX; Seers et al., 1995), the quality of relationships with superiors (LMX-MDM; Liden et Maslyn, 1998) and psychological well-being while teleworking (PWB; Dagenais-Desmarais, 2010), as well as the number of teleworking days per week, and the number of years of professional experience. Results from moderations showed that the higher the quality of relationships with co-workers and the supervisor during teleworking days, the more workers thrived, felt competent, and had a willingness to commit, especially when the number of days teleworked was high. The results suggest, among other things, that offering intensive teleworking would only make sense if relationships with co-workers and the supervisor remain of good quality during the teleworking periods

For many researchers in adult education, it is important to have a good understanding of the field in order to better imagine the future of adult education. As in many fields, the role of women has not always been highlighted. Over time, it becomes more and more difficult to tell a story that includes women’s contributions because few written archives document their agency. This study applies oral history methodologies to collect the testimonials of four women contributors to adult education. By analyzing and interpreting their journeys, we identified the following themes: alliances between adult education and women’s movements, the collective dimension of testimonials collected that lead to social transformation, and the pedagogical potential of collecting, interpreting, and sharing the oral histories of people who may be rendered invisible by history.

This article presents results from a collaborative action research study involving school leadership teams from Francophone minority settings in Western Canada. It is from these practitioners’ (n=63) points of view that a comparative picture of the impact of COVID-19 on the management and leadership practises during this extraordinary health crisis is drawn. These management teams’ tasks are presented according to the theoretical concepts of management and leadership and then particular considerations during this crisis context are discussed. The questionnaire focused on the elements of management, on the relationships between the stakeholders and on the health and well-being of the management teams. Herein, only the results of the first two aspects of the questionnaire are presented and discussed. Results reveal a strong consensus around management and leadership functions associated with the need to preserve and support staff well-being, ensure regular and constant communication, encourage and motivate teachers, and revise schedules to ensure the proper functioning of the school.Certain characteristics were found to influence certain results, such as positions held, gender, and location and size of schools. The nature of the relationships between some stakeholders, particularly the departments of Education and members of the management teams during the pandemic, were noticeably adversely impacted compared to others. The support received from staff, co-workers, family, and close friends more than made up for the shortcomings elsewhere.
