  Background: Employees’ dissatisfaction is as a result of confrontations of two divergent views, compliance with collective labor agreement and the company’s profitability requirements. However, the documentation of internal and external environmental impacts on the employees is poor. Our objective was to study workers’ origin of dissatisfaction from the negative impact of Fludor Benin SA internal and external environment. 
  Population and methods: It was a cross-sectional study, conducted from 11
  <sup>th</sup> September 2013 to 08
  <sup>th</sup> January 2014, on Fludor Benin SA employees. Data collection was carried out over ten (10) sessions through administration of Focus Group Discussion modules coupled with psychodrama (FGD-psychodrama) and conducted fortnightly. The module was intended for a group of twelve employees per session. It lasted 2 hours and ended with a game comprising a set of sixteen (16) cards. Each participant’s 16-card deck allowed the “player” to identify the likely origin of his dissatisfaction at work. 
  Results: One hundred and twenty (120) employees were expected, but only ninety-nine (99) had participated in the FGD-psychodrama. The rate of participation was 82.5%. The average age of the employees was 35.4 &#177; 7.4 years, while sex-ratio was 23.75. Average seniority was 9.3 &#177; 3.2 years. The employees’ robot profile was: 39 (39.39%) passive employees, 18 (18.19%) disappointed employees, 17 (17.17%) unmotivated employees, 14 (14.14%) dedicated to the company but barely recognized and 11 (11.11%) unhappy employees. The reasons for dissatisfaction originated from matrimonial home 25 (25.25%), workplace 23 (23.23%) and use of drugs 11 (11.11%). Seventy-seven 77 (77.78%) employees were satisfied with the FGD-psychodrama modules.
   Conclusion: FGD-psychodrama may be an effective tool to restore unhealthy corporate atmosphere, help employees to discern the origin of their dissatisfaction and change their perception about stressful situations prevailing in their workplace.

But an insurgency from disgruntled employees hampered the progress required for this new hallmark. The pernicious effect of the employees’ dissatisfaction was an under-performance and a loss for the company, then the Administration attempted to remedy this through refresher workshops for employees from 04<sup>th</sup> April to 03<sup>rd</sup> July 2009. In the long term, an unhealthy atmosphere settled down in the company’s main production units. Upon request for our expertise, we administered ten Focus Group Discussion modules [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref2">2</xref>] coupled each time with psychodrama on the workplace [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref4">4</xref>] .

Thus for the ten (10) sessions of FGD-Psychodrama retained, the total workforce of the expected employees was one hundred and twenty (120). Twenty one (21) employees had not given their consent to participate in the study.</p><disp-formula id="scirp.77539-formula53"><graphic  xlink:href="http://html.scirp.org/file/4-1420456x2.png"  xlink:type="simple"/></disp-formula></sec><sec id="s2_3"><title>2.3.

Therefore:</p><p>In Field<sup>I</sup> ascendant, there were: 12 cards indicating Belief as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Legacy as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Parents as the likely origin of dissatisfaction and 12 cards indicating Succession as the likely origin of dissatisfaction.</p><p>In Field<sup>II</sup> descendant, there were: 12 cards indicating Friend-Couple-Partner- Intimate Partner as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Child as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Adult as the likely origin of dissatisfaction and 12 cards indicating Home-House as the likely origin of dissatisfaction.</p><p>In Field<sup>III</sup> professional Environment, there were: 12 cards indicating Job- Coworker as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Boss as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Assets-Being as the likely origin of dissatisfaction and 12 cards indicating Accomplice as a the likely origin of dissatisfaction.</p><p>In Field<sup>IV</sup> health and addiction, there were: 12 cards indicating Drug as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Alcohol-Tobacco-Cannabis as the likely origin of dissatisfaction, 12 cards indicating Heroin-Cocaine as the likely origin of dissatisfaction and 12 cards indicating Leisure activities as the likely origin of dissatisfaction.</p><p>The 16 sets of cards were arranged one after the other on a table (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig3">Figure 3</xref>), positioned away from the group within the workspace.

The Power of Results</title><p>Our specifications received from the management of Fludor Benin SA for this study were aimed at achieving a brief intervention in relation to employee discontent. For this reason, convenience sampling in a small labor force has been preferred to probabilistic sampling.

The FGD-Psycho- drama was considered from the perspective of a brief therapy of dissatisfaction in the workplace without taking part either for the employee or for the employer. This objective was largely achieved, as demonstrated by the satisfaction of 75.42% of workers who participated in the FGD-Psychodrama.</p></sec></sec><sec id="s4_2"><title>4.2. Participation in FGD-Psychodrama Modules</title><p>For this activity conducted in working environment, ten FGD-psychodrama modules were administered with 98.5% as rate of participation. The meeting sessions were conducted in a relaxed atmosphere to enable participants express stress at work, their resentment and inability to better adapt to the deafening noise from machines running at full capacity [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref11">11</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s4_3"><title>4.3. Employees Socio-Demographic Characteristics</title><p>The low representation of women employed on Canna Fludor Benin SA site (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig4">Figure 4</xref>) would be attributable to the Administration’s fear to be faced with issues of “power and desire within the company” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref12">12</xref>] . However, no factory will not escape from the assigned social role of diversification based on man-woman complementarity at its place of establishment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref13">13</xref>] . The company female employees were the oldest. Dissatisfaction at work seemed to be related to seniority. Davoine [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref14">14</xref>] reported in his study on the determinants of satisfaction at work that, the oldest employees of a company are not the happiest. They are probably the unhappiest.</p></sec><sec id="s4_4"><title>4.4. “Robot” Profile of Fludor Benin SA Factory Employees</title><p>The robot profile of Fludor Benin SA (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="fig5">Figure 5</xref>) employees was made up of: disappointed and dissatisfied 18 (18.19%), demotivated 17 (17.17%) and ready to terminate their contract with the company when the slightest opportunity arises. Most of them contained their anger which was vented out during the cut and thrust with members of the Administration, or any other employee of the company perceived as undercover agent (both an employee and the Administration informant). The wing of the Trades Union movement to which the employees are implicitly committed was at loggerheads with the Administration. Aside this group, there were those who identified themselves with Fludor Benin SA 14 (14.14%), but expressed resentment for not being given much recognition. Heads of division were in that category. There remained 39 a proportion of 39.39% of employees who resigned despite tribulations at work. The company could not rely on them alone to overcome the challenges in a competitive business environment. In studies conducted in work environment in France, the Association for Employment of Executives (APEC) proposed a “cadrotype” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref15">15</xref>] which is the different types of Executives within the company. Even though the environments of the study are dissimilar, the ebb and flow [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref16">16</xref>] of business environment here and elsewhere are not different. APEC recorded 38% of well fulfilled and motivated Administrative Executives. They represented 14.14% in our study. Those dissatisfied were 11.11% of participants to FGD-psychodrama modules in Fludor Benin SA factory. The basis of dissatisfaction seems to originate from the paradox of new forms of work organization within the company. While thinking of working for himself, or for his success and pleasure, the employee rather works for his company and his quest for profile. The “do better and more” business attitude which transpires in work organization within Fludor Benin SA, permanently encourages to excel, and this could destabilize the employees [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref17">17</xref>] . These employees are also overwhelmed by their “good student” Administration in “innovative approach in relation with the growing role of performance assessment as decision-making tools” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref18">18</xref>] . Therefore, all components for a change of contemporary capitalism nurturing a systemic economic, financial, social and ecological crisis [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref19">19</xref>] were met.</p></sec><sec id="s4_5"><title>4.5.

They realized that these women were more caring than their wives at home;</p><p>・ Polygamy arose from the “bad attitude of the housewife who became “unattractive” and vindictive, shortly after “married life”;</p><p>・ Discussions revealed that the wife’s in-laws, supported co-wives cohabitation under the same matrimonial home, for these reasons.</p></sec><sec id="s4_6_3"><title>4.6.3. Psychodrama Game</title><p>Some participants claimed that they were harassed in the night when, as a result of tiredness they were carried away by sleep at their workstation. Then, the discussion focused on “sleep at workstation”. Therefore, the theme of the game was set.</p><p>The game [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref25">25</xref>] lasted 30 minutes. The employees agreed to play the “sleep at workstation” game [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref26">26</xref>] as one of the participants particularly interested proposed the staging.</p><p>In the imaginary staging of the game, ancillary egos [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref3">3</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref27">27</xref>] played by turns: the sleepy employee and the overseer on duty. Four roles were played: the employee falling asleep, the night watchman patrol, the sleepy employee concealing his shoes at his workstation, and the employee waking up from sleep. The atmosphere was recreational and really relaxed. Each of the participants found in the role-play a ground for cooling off [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref28">28</xref>] .</p></sec><sec id="s4_6_4"><title>4.6.4. Echo of the Group of Participants</title><p>The echo of the group lasted 30 minutes. The participants gave their opinion on the game. Each of them related the players’ attitudes and utterances to his own experience [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref29">29</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref30">30</xref>] [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref31">31</xref>] . Confrontations of the various viewpoints were expressed as well as the definition of sleep, when it carries away the employee at his workstation. This definition varies from one participant to the other. For example, the accountant did not feel concerned by the issue of night shift at the factory. Neither was he a “risk case” [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref32">32</xref>] subject to much pressure at work. According to him, job harassment [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref33">33</xref>] interpreted in the game was oversized. He then invited everyone to adopt preventive sleep attitude at work for the safety of both the employee and his job.</p><p>The originator of the role play pointed out:</p><p>・ Once exhausted, I am likely to sustain injury from the machine running at full capacity.</p><p>Another participant replied automatically:</p><p>・ That’s a lame argument of your sleeping at work! Another participant declared;</p><p>・ Sleeping at work is an issue associated with organization and personal management of rest period according to each employee;</p><p>・ It comes from imbalanced body equilibrium;</p><p>・ Why not!!!</p><p>Discussions became lively. The employees expressed their viewpoints and broke isolation by identifying themselves in each other’s testimonies of [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref34">34</xref>] :</p><p>・ It is the individual’s relationship with time [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref35">35</xref>] , declared one of the participants;</p><p>・ It should be taken care of by each of us, another participant exclaimed;</p><p>・ Sleep increases the risk of professional errors and accidents.</p><p>There was a stunned-like silence and the facilitator requested to provide resolutions.</p></sec><sec id="s4_6_5"><title>4.6.5. Time for Resolutions</title><p>Resolutions time was 15 minutes.</p><p>Each of the participants was invited to get closer to the playing cards table to form and shuffle his 16-card deck, likely origins of dissatisfaction. During a two-minute break, each participant was invited to conduct self-analysis. Thereafter, he shall place at the end of his trump card (last card) the card representing the origin of his dissatisfaction while choosing a resolution. The following days, and within a short-term, he will have to comply with this resolution willingly undertaken by him, for the purpose of his personal development in relationship with his family and professional environment.</p></sec><sec id="s4_6_6"><title>4.6.6. Cooling Down; Closing</title><p>At the end of the module, the counting of the last cards representing the likely origins of dissatisfaction revealed that three out of ten participants present attributed the professional environment as origin of their dissatisfaction. Upon counting the first cards, two out of ten participants present blamed the professional environment as the origin of their dissatisfaction at work.</p><p>The facilitator returned to each of the participants his first card-origin of dissatisfaction on grounds that it was within sight but remained unnoticed. Otherwise, the fact that this first card, positioned at the beginning of the open card-deck within sight of the “holder”, right under his nose without being either seen or noticed by him, foreshadowed the participation of the sub-conscious in this whole recreational process.</p><p>Each participant was invited to continue the work initiated on his own scale of personal values.</p></sec></sec></sec><sec id="s5"><title>5. Overview of FGD-Psychodrama Sessions</title><p>The following were common views expressed by the participants in FGD-psy- chodrama sessions:</p><p>・ Work is a paramount value, having a matrimonial home is fundamental, a good friend is a permanent pursuit and a house is a necessity;</p><p>・ A model employee should have a salary commensurate with the work carried out at the factory and significant compensation for overtime;</p><p>・ It is important to free the voices in view of eliminating interpersonal grievances;</p><p>・ Having enough rest prevents wear and tear caused by work;</p><p>・ Use dialog against harassment at work [<xref ref-type="bibr" rid="scirp.77539-ref36">36</xref>] , as it enables to build consensus;</p><p>・ For team leaders; always remember to call workers to order, rather than blaming them for no apparent reason through triviality and overenthusiasm.</p><p>All these discomfort at work undermine the employee’s dedication and loyalty to Fludor Benin SA factory.</p></sec><sec id="s6"><title>6. Conclusion</title><p>The administration of FGD-psychodrama in Fludor Benin SA helped the employee to identify the origin of his dissatisfaction at work, ascertain his responsibility and that of the company organization and focus on the factors to be addressed. This work helps the employee to recognize not only his weaknesses, but also the priority values he should build on to boost his career plan.</p></sec><sec id="s7"><title>Acknowledgements</title><p>Mr. Roland RIBOUX; rep_riboux@yahoo.co.uk</p><p>・ Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Fludor Benin SA</p><p>・ Chairman of Benin Council of Private Investors (CIPB)</p><p>Standing as the driving force behind the “Focus Group Discussion-psycho- drama for business development in Benin”, his personal involvement facilitated this work which was highly appreciated by Fludor Benin SA employees.
