For several years now, labour scarcity has been a concern for managers and business leaders. The current Covid-19 pandemic, that is disrupting the regular course of organizational activities, has exacerbated these concerns and amplified competition between companies for a diverse and mobile workforce. In this context, the importance of human capital, as a strategic asset, forces companies to focus their efforts on developing actions that promote increased employee loyalty. Based on the work experience and life experience of proximity managers, this article focuses on the actions and behaviours that have enabled these managers to adapt and respond to the new realities of telework during the high moments of the Covid-19 pandemic, while maintaining the well-being and the commitment of their employees. This study is based on 18 semi-structured interviews carried out with proximity managers who, in the summer of 2021, had to manage remote teams within a large company in the banking sector. Our results highlight the work and privileged position of these managers to support employees and to recognize and understand their expectations and needs during this period marked by uncertainty and remote management. Our results also lead us to draw conclusions in terms of leadership practices, considering that very few studies have yet focused on leadership and its effectiveness in times of crisis.

The university clinics of remedial education and social work at UQAC hosted a project aimed at developing interprofessional skills through the implementation of collaborative mechanisms. The article aims to describe how the 25 participating students understand interprofessional collaborative work by presenting their expectations before the project and their impressions after the project. Qualitative analysis of student discourse from semi-structured interviews revealed a change in the initial vision of interprofessional work in relation to collaborative arrangements, the real context of practice and faculty supervision.

This paper investigates the use of Internet-based local and transnational social networks by young migrants living in the outlying regions of Quebec, with the aim of defining how the networks relate to identity (sense of belonging). The young people surveyed all use the Internet to stay in contact with their immediate family and friends in their homeland, but make very little use of it — and especially use it in a different way — with their new friends in Quebec. With the exception of two respondents who completely reject the idea of belonging, the migrants surveyed all identify with their homeland, and most of them also identify with Quebec. The latter, whether intentionally or not, have developed a social network that includes native-born Quebeckers. This finding provides evidence of the role played by others in the development of conceptions of self in the Internet age.

The research on the organizational commitment remains relevant because of the controversy around the tree componants of the organizational commitment and its determiners (Cohen, 2007 ; Biétry, 2012 ; Klein et al., 2012 ; Meyer et al., 2012). Our article tries to show that the tontine of company, as social network of financial and social solidarities on the scene of work, is a lever of organizational commitment in SME Cameroonians. An empirical study led with 225 executives of 192 SME Cameroonians reveals a predictive character of the tontine on the emotional commitment and the normative commitment of the staff-executive members of the tontine to their organization. This brings us to suggest practices of GRH adapted to the ambient sociocultural and professional context.

Teachers in professional and technical training usually live a hard period of professional transition during their beginning of teaching. We have tried to show how the educational intervention from beginning teachers of the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick results from a work of dialectization of a set of contexts: educational, professionals and personals. We adopted a mixed methodology using quantitative inquiry and qualitative interviews across the five campuses of the Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick. Our results show the teacher as a subject in transition, trying to reach a state of balance between the subject in formation and the many contexts through which he evolves. His professional transition is articulated through back and forth movements between skill development and identity construction, surrounding the moment of educative intervention. We thus propose a model of this articulation that could be used to analyze educational intervention in its situational perspective.

Research framework : Cancer is the most common life-threatening disease in Canadian children. It is a traumatic family experience. Authors point out that affected families are more vulnerable if they do not have sufficient resources to support their resilience process. Families living in communities far from hospital centres specialized in pediatric oncology (HCSPO) face additional challenges because of limited access to resources and services that can meet their immediate needs. While the family experience of pediatric cancer is well documented in the scientific literature, the experience of being far from an HCSPO remains under explored. Gottlieb's strengths-based approach to care and Walsh's (2012 ; 2016b) family resilience building theory guided this study. This article presents findings from the first phase of a larger study, conducted between 2015 and 2021, those related to different contexts that may exacerbate family vulnerability. Objective: Exploring factors related to the resilience process of families accompanying a child with cancer in a remote context (FACCRC). Methodology : A descriptive qualitative approach was adopted by using 26 semi-structured individual and group interviews (n = 50 people: 39 members of 11 families, 11 nurses). Results: Among the results obtained in the larger study, two main contexts of remoteness were identified and are presented here: (1) when the FACCRC are in their community, at the time of the child's diagnosis, on their returns from the HCSPO and on a daily basis, and (2) when they are at the HCSPO, far from their loved ones and their usual landmarks. Contexts with specific risk factors that can compromise their resilience process. Findings: Remoteness is a multi-contextual, persistent experience that affects all family members. It requires a specific family assessment, and is facilitated by better communication and collaboration between the specialized and regional hospital centres. Contribution: The proposal of valuable leads for care more adapted to the reality of FACCRC.

In 2022, when telework was well established in organizations, the Quebec government ended mandatory health measures, and simultaneously, removed the requirement for companies to maintain teleworking at 100%. For many companies, the abolition of these measures triggered a process aimed at bringing employees back to their workplace, that inevitably led to new challenges, new concerns and all the related uncertainty. The objective of this article is to take a look at the process and management of returning to the post-pandemic workplace. More specifically, we seek to understand how proximity managers implemented organizational directives and organized the process of returning their employees to the workplace in such a way as to maintain and rebuild their commitment. This article is an extension of an initial research approach carried out in 2021 on workforce retention at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results presented in this article are based on the analysis of thirteen semi-structured interviews conducted between April and December 2023. They show how proximity managers succeeded, or failed, in finding a balance between organizational expectations and employee needs, and show the challenges and concerns encountered, and their roles in the post-pandemic return to the workplace. They also lead us to note that the involvement of proximity managers with their employees and their presence during this return period were essential elements in helping the employees find their bearings within the organization, so that they felt fully invested in the success of this return.
