One of the main problems related to the establishment of foreign companies in the province Lualaba (Democratic Republic of Congo) remains implementation of good human resources management (HRM). The objective of this work was to study the practice of promotion within the private sector company in Kolwezi (Lualaba) and its effect on employee motivation. A sample of 150 employees (executives, supervisors, and enforcement officers) from mining company Boss Mining was interviewed using a self-administered questionnaire. The different employee responses were subjected to the Chi-Square fit Test using the Minitab 16 software. The main results, reporting highly significant differences between responses, showed that the majority of employees were male; are young people (between 35 to 54 years old), with a duration of more than 11 years in the company; are academics; are retained as executing agents and have a suitable position for their training. The promotional practice of this company turned out to be informal and not in conformity with the laws of the DR Congo, but also with good practices of HRM. Moreover, this practice is not a source of positive motivation for employees.

Abstract: (french)
L’un des principaux problèmes liés à l’implantation des entreprises étrangères sur dans la province du Lualaba (République Démocratique du Congo) demeure mise en application d’une bonne gestion des ressources humaines (GRH). L’objectif de ce travail était d’étudier la pratique de la promotion au sein d’entreprise du secteur privé à Kolwezi (Lualaba) et son effet sur la motivation des employées. Un échantillon de 150 employés (cadres, agents de maîtrise et agents d’exécution) de l’entreprise minière Boss Mining a été interviewé à l’aide d’un questionnaire auto-administré. Les différentes réponses des employés ont été soumises au teste d’ajustement Khi deux à l’aide du logiciel Minitab 16. Les principaux résultats, relevant des différences hautement significatives entre les réponses, ont montré que les employés étaient majoritairement des hommes ; sont des jeunes (entre 35 à 54 ans), avec une durée de plus de 11 ans dans l’entreprise ; sont des universitaires ; sont retenus comme agents d’exécution et ont un poste adéquat à leur formation. La pratique promotionnelle de cette entreprise s’est révélé être informelle et non conforme aux textes de lois de la RD Congo, mais aussi aux bonnes pratiques de GRH. Par ailleurs, cette pratique n’est pas une source de motivation positive des employés.
