Using French surveys data on working conditions, we document the existing relationships between workers' well-being, work organization and human resources' practices that may lead to greater intensity but also greater job decision latitude. The relationships between intensity, autonomy and workers' well-being are first studied on the basis of a descriptive analysis, before estimating the relationship with panel data. In a framework as close as possible to Karasek's conceptual job demand/job control model, our results highlight a detrimental impact of intensity and a positive impact of autonomy.
