Résumé

Cette recherche vise à comprendre en quoi les traits d’identité culturelle, plus particulièrement l’ethnicité et le statut d’immigrant, pourraient modifier la façon dont le travail s’associe aux symptômes de détresse psychologique au sein de la main-d’oeuvre canadienne. Les résultats basés sur les données longitudinales de l’Enquête nationale sur la santé de la population (ENSP) de Statistique Canada font état d’un rôle plus important de l’ethnicité en comparaison au statut d’immigrant.

Abstract

The purpose of this research is to understand how cultural identity traits, and especially ethnicity and immigration status, may affect how work and psychological distress are related among working Canadians. Results based on the nine cycles of the National Population Health Survey (NPHS), conducted by Statistics Canada, indicate a greater role is played by ethnicity compared to immigrant status.
