Résumé
Développer le bien-être enseignant est complexe, car les leviers ciblés, issus de disciplines variées, sont parfois éloignés de la réalité professionnelle. Cette étude examine les retombées d’aspects de la tâche enseignante sur le bien-être au travail à l’aide de deux échantillons (Nouveau-Brunswick [n = 584] et Québec [n = 510]). Les analyses suggèrent que la satisfaction à l’égard de la vie au travail ainsi que le bien-être psychologique peuvent être partiellement expliqués par des aspects de la tâche enseignante. Plusieurs tendances convergentes émergent entre les deux provinces. Elles mettent en lumière les particularités de la relation personne enseignante-élève et l’importance du leadership pour favoriser le bien-être des personnes enseignantes. Cette étude vise à orienter les politiques éducatives en fractionnant ce qui est compris sous l’expression «charge de travail».

Abstract
Developing teachers’ well-being is a complex endeavour, as the identified contributors arise from various disciplines, at times far removed from teachers’ professional realities. To examine how aspects of the teaching workload impact occupational health, we conducted a study examining two samples from New Brunswick [n = 584] and Quebec [n = 510]. The analysis suggests that certain aspects of teachers’ workloads can partially explain their work-life satisfaction and psychological well-being. Several converging trends emerging between the two provinces highlight the distinctive characteristics of the teacher-student relationship as well as the importance of leadership for improving teachers’ well-being. This study aims to guide educational policies by breaking down what the term “workload” is understood to include.

Resumen
Desarrollar el bienestar docente es una tarea compleja, ya que los factores identificados, provenientes de diversas disciplinas, a menudo se encuentran alejados de su realidad profesional. Esta investigación examina los efectos de diversos aspectos de la tarea docente sobre el bienestar en el trabajo, utilizando dos muestras (Nuevo Brunswick [n=584] y Quebec [n=510]). Los análisis sugieren que tanto la satisfacción con la vida laboral como el bienestar psicológico pueden explicarse parcialmente por ciertos aspectos de la tarea docente.Varias tendencias convergentes emergen entre las dos provincias. Estas ponen de manifiesto las particularidades de la relación entre el docente y el alumno, así como la importancia del liderazgo para promover el bienestar del personal docente. Este estudio tiene como objetivo orientar las políticas educativas mediante un análisis detallado de lo que se entiende bajo la expresión “carga de trabajo”.
