Résumé
La poursuite du bonheur a été de tout temps une quête existentielle. Parmi les multiples origines identifiées de cet état, certains considèrent le stress comme un déterminant de la variabilité du bonheur individuel. L’hypothèse alexithymie-stress (alexithymia-stress hypothesis) s’avère ainsi une avenue prometteuse pour élucider la dynamique qu’entretient le stress avec le bien-être et le bonheur, hypothèse s’inscrivant dans la foulée du paradigme de la psychologie positive en comportement organisationnel. L’objectif principal de cette étude est d’explorer les rouages entre le stress, l’alexithymie et le bonheur. Pour ce faire, 420 enseignants ont complété un questionnaire autoadministré. Les résultats des analyses permettent d’observer que le bonheur est davantage déterminé par le stress au travail que par le stress dans la vie. De plus, il est possible de constater que l’alexithymie est autant un déterminant du bonheur qu’un modérateur du lien unissant le stress au bonheur. Finalement, il n’est pas possible d’identifier un antagonisme formel entre les variables à l’étude laissant présager que la dynamique relationnelle est linéaire.

Abstract
The pursuit of happiness has always been an existential quest. Among the multiple origins of this state, some consider stress as a determinant of the variability of happiness felt by people. The "alexithymia-stress hypothesis" is thus a promising avenue to elucidate the dynamics of stress with well-being and happiness, a hypothesis in the wake of the positive psychology paradigm in organizational behavior. The main objective of this study is to explore the mechanisms between stress, alexithymia and happiness. To do this, 420 teachers completed a self-administered questionnaire. The results of the analysis show that happiness is more determined by stress at work than by stress in life. Moreover, it is possible to observe that alexithymia is as much a determinant of happiness as a moderator of the link between stress and happiness. Finally, it is not possible to identify a formal antagonism between the variables under study suggesting that the relational dynamics is linear.
