Le prÃ©sent article porte sur la rÃ©munÃ©ration dans les structures professionnelles des Eglises Ã Bukavu. Lâ€™Ã©tude vise Ã (1) dÃ©terminer les masses salariales allouÃ©es aux agents par les structures professionnelles des Eglises ; (2) jauger le degrÃ© de satisfaction et de motivation des agents face Ã la rÃ©munÃ©ration quâ€™ils reÃ§oivent et (3) Ã identifier les lignes des dÃ©penses couvertes par ces salaires dans la Ville de Bukavu. Pour la collecte des donnÃ©es, 401 sujets issus de 42 structures professionnelles des Eglises de Bukavu ont Ã©tÃ© enquÃªtÃ©s Ã lâ€™aide de lâ€™outil questionnaire. La mÃ©thode structuro-fonctionnelle, lâ€™analyse de contenu et le test chi carrÃ© ont soutenu le dÃ©pouillement et le traitement des donnÃ©es. Il ressort des rÃ©sultats de la recherche que le salaire est un aspect important dans le fonctionnement harmonieux de toute structure professionnelle. Les masses salariales allouÃ©es aux agents varient selon les tailles, les productivitÃ©s, lâ€™accessibilitÃ© Ã la main dâ€™Å“uvre et la bonne volontÃ© des structures professionnelles des Eglises. Le salaire allouÃ© aux agents oscille entre 0 et 2000 dollars par mois et par individu. Ce salaire ne suffit pas pour couvrir les besoins dâ€™Ã©pargne et dâ€™investissement. En dÃ©pit, de sa faiblesse Ã satisfaire aux besoins des agents, la rÃ©munÃ©ration est relativement bien payÃ©e par les structures professionnelles des Eglises protestantes plutÃ´t que celles de lâ€™Eglise catholique. Les agents sont ainsi dÃ©motivÃ©s et restent Ã la recherche permanente dâ€™un travail qui procurerait la bonne rÃ©munÃ©ration.
This paper focuses on determining the amount of wages allocated to employees in the Church organizations and enterprises. It assesses the extent to which employees are satisfied and motivated based on the wages they are paid, and it also examines how Church employees allocate their wages to meet the needs of their households. Data was collected in Bukavu through a selfadministered questionnaire on a sample of 401 Church employees. The data was processed and analyzed in SPSS and Excel through the structural functional method, together with content analysis and Chi-Square test. The findings indicate that salary is an important driver of smooth relationships and it is very important for the functioning of any Church organization or enterprise. The total amount of wages allocated to employees varies among Church organizations and enterprises. This is dependent on the organizational size, productivity, location of majority of the workforce, and the policy of the Church enterprise. On average, the salary per individual worker ranges from 0 to 2,000 dollars per month. The salary is not enough to cover savings and investment needs of employees, rather it only serves for subsistence needs such as food, school fees of children, and rent. The remuneration is higher for employees who work for protestant organizations and enterprises compared to Catholic Church. The employees therefore are unsatisfied, not motivated, and are in a continuous search for a better job.
