Étude de la satisfaction des usagers du service de transport par bus : cas des étudiants de la FSJES d’Ait Melloul
No full textIn the context of rapid urbanization, public transport becomes essential for economic and social development, especially in large urban areas. However, in Morocco, the public transport system remains insufficient to meet the needs of users, particularly in Greater Agadir, where irregular schedules and vehicle overcrowding pose major issues. This study examines the impact of aligning public transport services (schedules, frequency, comfort, and peak hour management) on the satisfaction of students at FSJES Aït Melloul.
The study adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining exploratory interviews with institutional actors and a questionnaire administered to 200 students. Data analysis is based on Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that peak hour management, schedule adjustment, and perceived comfort have a significant impact on user satisfaction. In contrast, bus frequency does not have a direct effect on satisfaction but acts indirectly through the perception of optimized schedules.
This research highlights the importance of aligning transport policies with the actual needs of users, particularly students. It provides practical recommendations for improving the quality of transport services, considering the sustainability of the system and territorial equity. The study thus contributes to a better understanding of user expectations and the challenges that public authorities must face to make public transport more efficient and accessible to all.

Paper type: Empirical ResearchDans un contexte d’urbanisation rapide, le transport public devient essentiel pour le développement économique et social, notamment dans les grandes agglomérations. Cependant, au Maroc, le système de transport collectif reste insuffisant pour répondre aux besoins des usagers, en particulier dans le Grand Agadir, où l’irrégularité des horaires et la surcharge des véhicules posent des problèmes majeurs. Cette étude examine l’impact de l’alignement des services de transport public (horaires, fréquence, confort et gestion des heures de pointe) sur la satisfaction des étudiants de la FSJES d’Aït Melloul.
L’étude adopte une approche méthodologique mixte, combinant des entretiens exploratoires avec des acteurs institutionnels et un questionnaire administré à 200 étudiants. L’analyse des données repose sur la modélisation par équations structurelles (PLS-SEM). Les résultats montrent que la gestion des heures de pointe, l’ajustement des horaires et le confort perçu ont un impact significatif sur la satisfaction des usagers. En revanche, la fréquence des bus n’a pas d’effet direct sur la satisfaction, mais agit indirectement à travers la perception des horaires optimisés.
Cette recherche souligne l’importance de centrer les politiques de transport sur les besoins réels des usagers, en particulier les étudiants. Elle propose des recommandations pratiques pour améliorer la qualité du service de transport, en tenant compte de la durabilité du système et de l’équité territoriale. L’étude contribue ainsi à une meilleure compréhension des attentes des usagers et des défis auxquels les autorités publiques doivent faire face pour rendre le transport collectif plus efficace et accessible à tous.

L’Ecosystème Entrepreneurial Etudiant au Maroc : Analyse Conceptuelle et proposition d’un modèle théorique
No full textThe student entrepreneurial ecosystem provides a favorable framework for the development of innovative projects and the emergence of entrepreneurs among recent graduates. In Morocco, despite the existence of various support mechanisms, academic research offering a clear structuring of this ecosystem remains limited. This article addresses this gap by developing a theoretical model designed to identify and organize its main dimensions. The adopted methodology is based on an in-depth review of scientific literature and institutional reports related to student entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial support. This analysis made it possible to highlight several essential components: pedagogical and training mechanisms, support structures and infrastructures (incubators, innovation centers, funding platforms), key stakeholders (universities, public institutions, private sector), as well as strategic networks and partnerships.
Although significant efforts have been made by both the government and universities, the student entrepreneurial ecosystem is still under development. The implications of this study highlight the need to further structure this environment in order to strengthen the transition of students towards entrepreneurial action. The study emphasizes the pivotal role of universities, which, through their programs and support services, enhance entrepreneurial skills and stimulate the intention to start a business. The proposed model illustrates the interactions between these different components and underlines their contribution to creating a favorable environment for student entrepreneurship. The originality of this research lies in its focus on the Moroccan context, which remains underexplored in the international literature, and in the provision of a conceptual framework that can serve as a basis for future empirical studies as well as for the design of targeted policies and programs.

Paper type: Theoretical article.L’écosystème entrepreneurial étudiant représente un cadre propice au développement de projets innovants et à l’émergence d’entrepreneurs parmi les jeunes diplômés. Au Maroc, malgré l’existence de dispositifs variés, les recherches académiques proposant une structuration claire de cet écosystème restent limitées. Cet article s’inscrit dans cette perspective en élaborant un modèle théorique destiné à identifier et organiser les principales dimensions qui le composent. La méthodologie adoptée repose sur une revue approfondie de la littérature scientifique et des rapports institutionnels relatifs à l’entrepreneuriat étudiant et à l’accompagnement entrepreneurial. Cette analyse a permis de dégager plusieurs composantes essentielles : les dispositifs pédagogiques et de formation, les structures et infrastructures de soutien (incubateurs, centres d’innovation, plateformes de financement), les acteurs impliqués (universités, institutions publiques, secteur privé) ainsi que les réseaux et partenariats stratégiques. Bien que les efforts déployés par le gouvernement et l'Université soient importants, cependant, l'écosystème entrepreneurial est en cours de développement. Les implications de cette étude soulignent la nécessité de structurer davantage cet environnement pour renforcer le passage des étudiants à l'action entrepreneuriale.
L’étude met en évidence le rôle structurant des universités, qui, à travers leurs programmes et leurs dispositifs d’accompagnement, renforcent les compétences entrepreneuriales et stimulent l’intention de créer une entreprise. Le modèle proposé illustre les interactions entre ces différentes composantes et souligne leur contribution à la consolidation d’un environnement favorable à l’entrepreneuriat étudiant. L’originalité de cette recherche réside dans sa focalisation sur le contexte marocain, encore peu étudié dans la littérature internationale, et dans l’apport d’un cadre conceptuel qui pourra servir de base à des travaux empiriques ultérieurs ainsi qu’à la conception de politiques et de programmes adaptés.

Efficience de l'approche ALM pour l'amélioration de la rentabilité des banques au Maroc lors de la crise COVID-19
No full textThis study examines the effectiveness of the Asset-Liability Management (ALM) approach in improving the profitability of Moroccan banks during the COVID-19 crisis. Faced with unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic, the Moroccan banking sector had to adapt quickly to maintain its financial stability and profitability. Our research focuses on the period 2019-2022, encompassing the pre-crisis, acute crisis, and immediate post-crisis phases. Using the Structural Equation Modeling method, we analyzed a comprehensive set of financial and operational data collected from the eight main Moroccan banks, representing over 80% of the national banking market. Our findings suggest that ALM played a crucial role in stabilizing bank profitability during this turbulent period, with a significant positive correlation between ALM implementation effectiveness and several performance indicators, including net interest margin, return on assets (ROA), and return on equity (ROE). Banks that adopted more sophisticated ALM approaches demonstrated a better ability to manage liquidity and interest rate risks, with larger banks benefiting more from their ALM systems.
This research contributes to filling both theoretical and empirical gaps in the literature, providing a framework for understanding ALM effectiveness in the context of a global crisis.
