Violences sexistes dans le couple et expériences des femmes par rapport à la justice en Espagne

A l'occasion de la Journée internationale des droits des femmes 2013, l'association le Relais de Sénart, association féministe qui accueille, accompagne, et héberge les femmes victimes de violences conjugales, l'Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire sur les enjeux Sociaux (Iris), la Fédération Nationale Solidarité Femmes et le Centre Hubertine Auclert se sont associés pour organiser une journée d'étude sur les enjeux scientifiques, politiques et institutionnels soulevés par les violences envers les femmes depuis les années 1970. Il s'est agi de permettre aux associations de bénéficier d'un autre regard sur leur travail et leurs outils ; et de faire en sorte que la recherche en sciences sociales puisse se nourrir du point de vue des professionnel-le-s. Le partenariat scientifique et associatif a ainsi visé à explorer la manière dont les associations s'approprient, ou non, les outils issus du champ académique, et réciproquement.

The role of just world beliefs and justice perceptions in explaining undesirable attitudes and behaviors at work

Perceiving injustice is a key antecedent of a large range of undesirable employee attitudes and behaviors at work. For example, research has shown that employees who perceive their workplace as unfair are less satisfied, less committed and engage in more counterproductive behaviors. In this study, we suggest that justice motives like the belief in a just world (BJW) contribute to explaining relations between justice perceptions and undesirable behaviors. Specifically, we propose that individual differences in BJW (i.e, the belief that the world is just, where everyone is rewarded for his or her behavior) are related to work-related behaviors and attitudes by coloring perceptions of workplace fairness. We investigated our hypotheses in a survey study with 176 employees of various organizations (36% women; mean tenure 12.3 yeares). Results showed that after controlling for other influencing factors (e.g., neuroticism) BJW was negatively related to self-reported work deviant behaviors and to cynical, disillusioned attitudes toward the current job. Moreover, BJW was positively related to overall job satisfaction. Consistent with our expectations, relations of BJW with deviant behaviors and with attitudes were mediated by perceptions of interactional and procedural justice. These results suggest extending models of justice and deviance by including motives such as BJW.
