Résumé
La prégnance du télétravail post-COVID nécessite d’en étudier les différents aspects, notamment relationnels, et leurs impacts sur les télétravailleurs. Il est considéré qu’en télétravail, les échanges formels et informels s’appauvrissent au détriment du bien-être des travailleurs (Ruiller et al., 2017). L’étude porte sur le lien, en télétravail post-COVID, entre la qualité des relations avec les collègues et les supérieurs hiérarchiques, et le bien-être psychologique au travail, ainsi que les effets modérateurs de l’ancienneté professionnelle et du nombre de jours de télétravail par semaine. L’étude, par questionnaire autorapporté, a été menée auprès de 123 travailleurs qui télétravaillent au moins un jour par semaine. Ont été interrogés : la qualité des relations, en télétravail, avec les collègues (TMX; Seers et al., 1995), la qualité des relations, en télétravail, avec les supérieurs hiérarchiques (LMX-MDM; Liden et Maslyn, 1998), le bien-être psychologique (IBEPT; Dagenais-Desmarais, 2010), ainsi que, notamment, le nombre de jours en télétravail par semaine et le nombre d’années d’expérience professionnelle. Les résultats des modérations ont montré que plus la qualité des relations avec les collègues et le supérieur hiérarchique durant les jours de télétravail est grande, plus les travailleurs ressentent de l’épanouissement, un sentiment de compétence et une volonté d’engagement, en particulier lorsque le nombre de jours télétravaillés est élevé. Les résultats suggèrent notamment que proposer aux travailleurs un télétravail intensif ne serait judicieux que si les relations avec les collègues et le supérieur hiérarchique restent de bonne qualité durant les périodes de télétravail.

Abstract
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
