Psychosocial Health, Work and Language
This volume deals with the construction of categorizations of health at work on the basis of individuals’ perceptions and analyses of the psychosocial health effects at their work. The volume approaches the subject from the point of view of those who have experienced psychosocial risks at work, either by being under constraints themselves or by being witness to such constraints. Each chapter sheds light on their representations by examining how the individuals label these constraints. The book compares official categorizations of psychosocial health effects of work to unofficial categorizations, built or expressed. It shows how taking into account subjective narratives may reinforce existing strategies. By giving a central place to language in the analysis of the representations of psychosocial health at work, the volume provides additional information about the various prevention and coping strategies that can be used for dealing with the issue. Beyond some international comparisons, the book covers various national case studies, including in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chechnya, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Russia.
Work Stress and Health in a Globalized Economy
This book provides a comprehensive, updated summary of research evidence on the effects of stressful working and employment conditions on workers’ health, as based on one of the worldwide leading theoretical models, effort-reward imbalance. It offers three innovative features that are appealing for research as well as for policy. Firstly, it presents and discusses comparable research findings from different continents, in particular from Japan, China, and Latin America. Secondly, it extends the conceptual framework of research on this topic by analysing associations of work stress with health in a life course perspective, and by linking these associations to the macro-level of national labour and social policies. Thirdly, the book helps to strengthen programs and policies that aim at promoting healthy work locally, nationally, and internationally, by providing solid facts on which such programs can be based.
Intervención y control de los factores psicosociales del estrés laboral : experiencias latinoamericanas
En las últimas décadas, el tema de los factores psicosociales del trabajo ha cobrado gran relevancia por su importancia en la salud, el bienestar y el desarrollo de trabajadores, organizaciones y países en general. Organismos internacionales como la Organización Mundial de Salud (OMS) y la Organización Internacional del Trabajo (OIT) han declarado el tema como altamente prioritario. En Latinoamérica existe un despliegue de normas y leyes alrededor de temas como el acoso laboral y los factores de riesgo psicosocial; sin embargo, la aplicación de esta normativa sigue siendo incipiente y se ha centrado principalmente en la evaluación de estos factores, pero poco o nada en medidas espec...
Conservation of Pacific Sea Turtles
Across the Pacific, populations of some species of sea turtles face extinction unless recent dramatic declines are reversed. The continuing decline of leatherbacks and loggerheads in particular illustrates the limitations of the current gradual and unilateral approach to conservation. Recovery requires instead a holistic solution that addresses all sources of mortality throughout the entire life history and habitat use of these transnational populations. Historically conservation efforts have focused on nesting sites to protect eggs and breeding females; mortality from coastal and highseas fisheries was not addressed. In the past five years, these recovery efforts have widened to include rig...
Emotion, Well-Being, and Resilience
This important new volume discusses the role of emotion, resilience, and well-being in many contexts of human life, including home, school, and workplace. Leading researchers and academicians from around the world and from various fields—such as health, education, information and technology, military, and manufacturing—explore the theoretical and practical implications of many studies in this area. They present new concepts, models, and knowledge for practical applications that address challenges to well-being. The volume also considers the roles of several other influencing factors, such as emotional intelligence, performance, productivity, and employee’s health and happiness. The book’s editors state that, “At this juncture of human and technological development, when artificial intelligence and automation are slowly taking over the world, holding on to the study of emotions, well-being, and resilience has become imperative, as these influence sustainable performances and growth by individuals as well as organizations.”
Unhealthy Work
Work, so fundamental to well-being, has its darker and more costly side. Work can adversely affect our health, well beyond the usual counts of injuries that we think of as 'occupational health'. The ways in which work is organized - its pace and intensity, degree of control over the work process, sense of justice, and employment security, among other things - can be as toxic to the health of workers as the chemicals in the air. These work characteristics can be detrimental not only to mental well-being but to physical health. Scientists refer to these features of work as 'hazards' of the 'psychosocial' work environment. One key pathway from the work environment to illness is through the mech...
Psicología del trabajo
En el siglo XX sucedió una de las crisis más profundas la historia del mundo del trabajo, producto del salto tecnológico, de la automatización y de crisis económicas sociales y empresariales en todo el planeta; provocando una producción en serie flexible, desconcentrada, basada en la tecnología, generando la disminución de la clase obrera y, provocando trabajo parcial, precario, temporal y tercerizado. Los trabajadores han quedado expuestos a incertidumbres sin precedentes en el siglo XXI: desempleo, disminución de seguridad social, sindicatos fuertes políticamente, pero débiles en el ámbito laboral, incremento en los riesgos de trabajo, entre otros. Se ha exacerbado la pobreza, ...
THE SPECTRUM OF JUÁREZ AND THE FOURTH TRANSFORMATION
History has judged President Benito Juárez and one of the conclusions is that he betrayed the pure liberals. Andrés Manuel López Obrador is inspired by the way Benito Juárez governed. Does that mean that he betrayed the left? After reading this book you will have elements to give a final verdict.
