Download or read book Stress et psychopathologie du travail written by Frédéric Yvon and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette recherche porte sur la fonction psychologique du travail face aux processus de stress professionnel. Elle mobilise un cadre méthodologique appelé autoconfrontation croisée qui permet de décrire son activité devant un chercheur puis avec un collègue. Ces dialogues mettent en évidence l'adresse à un sur-destinataire que nous proposons d'appeler la dimension transpersonnnelle de l'activité de travail. Cette recherche est menée au sein d'un milieu de travail composé d'Agents du Service Commercial Train (ASCT) de la SNCF, à leur demande. Ce travail cherche à promouvoir dans les milieux professionnels une approche du collectif qui permet de développer les pratiques d'intervention et d'enrichir mutuellement les courants théoriques du stress et la psychopathologie du travail.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cette thèse s'intéresse au travail collectif d'opérateurs de montage travaillant en « îlot de production » et à la construction de la santé dans ce contexte de transformations du monde ouvrier. Lors d'une intervention dans une entreprise de logistique, dernier maillon de la chaîne de sous-traitance de l'industrie automobile, nous avons proposé d'installer un cadre clinique de l'activité en psychologie du travail. Ainsi, les opérateurs volontaires ont pu découvrir combien les expériences des autres - même ceux croisés ponctuellement de par le turn-over des intérimaires - et les débats autour des façons de faire des collègues, pouvaient devenir une ressource pour leur propre travail. Malgré la difficulté de maintenir un travail de co-analyse avec un fort turn-over, les opérateurs ont aussi pris conscience de la fonction sociale de leur collectif au sein de l'entreprise, lors du dernier comité de pilotage de notre intervention. Ce double processus psychologique et social de la fonction du collectif chez les opérateurs leur permet de créer de nouvelles manières de transformer le travail, participant ainsi au développement de leur santé.
Download or read book Introduction la psychologie du travail written by Jacques Leplat and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1983-12-31T23:00:00+01:00 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La psychologie du travail s'est surtout fait connaître à travers ses applications : orientation et sélection professionnelles, formation, ergonomie, organisation du travail, etc. Mais la psychologie du travail a aussi pour objet l'analyse du travail, considéré comme une classe de conduites, analyse indispensable pour fonder des applications valables. Cet ouvrage, de caractère introductif, n'est pas un mini-traité : il ne passe pas en revue tous les thèmes de ce champ, mais se borne à en aborder quelques-uns à titre exemplaire. Cette limitation, loin de restreindre les perspectives, invite au contraire à l'extension et à la transposition des concepts et des méthodes. Une introduction étant aussi un point de départ, on a insisté davantage sur les analyses des situations de travail et la mise en œuvre des connaissances psychologiques acquises par ailleurs, que sur les techniques d'intervention plus traditionnelles. La première partie de l'ouvrage donne des informations générales sur le travail et les travailleurs, et délimite le champ de la discipline. Une seconde partie présente l'analyse psychologique du travail. Enfin, une dernière partie décrit quelques situations types, et indique le bénéfice que leur étude retire du concours du psychologue du travail. Elle montre les formes que peut prendre ce concours, aussi bien pour le diagnostic des difficultés, que pour leur réduction, autrement dit le rôle que le psychologue peut jouer dans l'amélioration des conditions de travail.
Download or read book Travail et pouvoir d agir written by Yves Clot and published by Presses Universitaires de France - PUF. This book was released on 2017-04-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le travail soumet les femmes et les hommes à des épreuves sociales dont l'issue pèsera lourd sur le destin des générations futures. Dans ce nouvel ouvrage, l'auteur s'interroge : la psychologie du travail, en tant que discipline, saura-t-elle seconder l'action individuelle et collective nécessaire pour y faire face ? Pour répondre à cette question, Yves Clot fait l'inventaire des ressources historiques, théoriques, méthodologiques et techniques dont la psychologie du travail dispose pour développer le pouvoir d'agir des sujets sur leurs milieux professionnels. Dans cet ouvrage, l'exercice d'une clinique de l'activité débouche sur un renouvellement de l'idée de métier.
Download or read book Social Suffering written by Emmanuel Renault and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are various forms of suffering that are best described as social suffering, such as stress, harassment, experience of poverty and domination. Such suffering is a matter of social concern, but it is rarely a matter of discussion in the social sciences, political theory or philosophy. This book aims to change this by making social suffering central to an interdisciplinary critical theory of society. The author advances the various contemporary debates about social suffering, connecting their epistemological and political stakes. He provides tools for recasting these debates, constructs a consistent conception of social suffering, and thereby equips us with a better understanding of our social world, and more accurate models of social critique. The book contributes to contemporary debates about social suffering in sociology, social psychology, political theory and philosophy. Renault argues that social suffering should be taken seriously in social theory as well as in social critique and provides a systematic account of the ways in which social suffering could be conceptualised. He goes on to inquire into the political uses of references to social suffering, surveys contemporary controversies in the social sciences, and distinguishes between economical, socio-medical, sociological, and psychoanalytic approaches, before proposing an integrative model and discussing the implications for social critique. He claims that the notion of social suffering captures some of the most specific features of the contemporary social question and that the most appropriate approach to social suffering is that of an interdisciplinary critical theory of society.
Download or read book Francophone Perspectives of Learning Through Work written by Laurent Filliettaz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book generates a comprehensive account of ways in which practice-based learning has been conceptualized in the Francophone context. Learning for occupations, and the educational and practice-based experiences supporting it are the subject of increased interest and attention globally. Governments, professional bodies, workplaces and workers are now looking for experiences that support the initial and ongoing development of occupational capacities. Consequently, more attention is being given to workplaces as sites for this learning. This focus on learning through work has long been emphasised in the Francophone world, which has developed distinct traditions and conceptions of associations between work and learning. These include ergonomics and professional didactics. Yet, whilst being accepted and of long standing in the Francophone world, these conceptions and traditions, and the practices supporting them are little known about or understood in the Anglophone world, which is the dominant medium for scientific and educational discussion. This book addresses this problem through drawing on accounts from France, Switzerland and Canada that make accessible and elaborate these traditions, conceptions and practices through examples of their applications to occupationally related learning. These accounts offer variations and culturally-specific developments of these traditions, but collectively emphasize a preoccupation with how both work and learning need to be understood through situated considerations of persons enacting their work practice. In this way, they offer noteworthy and worthwhile contributions to contemporary global considerations of learning through work.
Download or read book The Vicarious Brain Creator of Worlds written by Alain Berthoz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2017-01-09 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Groping around a familiar room in the dark, or learning to read again after a traumatic brain injury; navigating a virtual landscape through an avatar, or envisioning a scene through the eyes of a character—all of these are expressions of one fundamental property of life, Alain Berthoz argues. They are instances of vicariance, when the brain sidesteps an impasse by substituting one process or function for another. In The Vicarious Brain, Creator of Worlds, Berthoz shows that this capacity is the foundation of the human ability to think creatively and function in a complex world. Vicariance is often associated with proxies and delegates, but it also refers to a biological process in which a healthy organ takes over for a defective counterpart. Berthoz, a neuroscientist, approaches vicariance through neuronal networks, asking how, for example, a blind person can develop a heightened sense of touch. He also describes how our brains model physical reality and how we use these models to understand things that are foreign to us. Forging across disciplinary boundaries, he explores notions of the vicarious in paleontology, ethology, art, literature, and psychology. Through an absorbing examination of numerous facets of vicariance, Berthoz reveals its impact on an individual’s daily decision making and, more broadly, on the brain’s creation of worlds. As our personal and social lives are transformed by virtual realities, it is more crucial than ever before that we understand vicariance within our increasingly complex environment, and as an aspect of our own multiplying identities.

This book was released on 2021-01-07 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGES AND HUMAN RESOURCES SET Coordinated by Patrick Gilbert The accelerating pace of technological change (AI, cobots, immersive reality, connected objects, etc.) calls for a profound reexamination of how we conduct business. This requires new ways of thinking, acting, organizing and collaborating in our work. Faced with these challenges, the Human and Social Sciences have a leading role to play, alongside others, in designing, supporting and implementing these digital transformation projects. Their ambition is to participate in the development of innovative and empowering devices, that is to say, systems that are truly at the service of human beings and their activity, that empower these professionals to take action and that also provide occupational health services. This book takes a multidisciplinary look at the challenges of these digital transformations, making use of occupational psychology, ergonomics, sociology of uses, and management sciences. This viewpoint also helps provide epistemological, methodological and empirical insights to better understand and support the changes at work.

Redefining management : Smart power perspectives is proactive reading for students in professional and business-related academic fields (e.g., organizational behavior, sociology, and business and management), and for managers at all organizational levels. The book is a harbinger of transformative possibilities shaping the management landscape to come.
Download or read book Humanness in Organisations written by Leopold S. Vansina and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humanness in Organizations is a unique contribution from the social sciences to the betterment of organizational life. The authors argue that working life can only become more humane when we change the conditions that consciously or unconsciously steer people away from consideration, friendship and integrity. The aim of this book is twofold: first, to take a closer look at the current practices of managers, academics, and consultants, and how they affect organizational conditions, work and the well-being of people. The critical studies presented here explore and develop the likely consequences of these practices for the future. Second, the authors wish to familiarize readers with 'actionable knowledge' in order to create alternative practices and conditions that enable the whole person to engage in healthier interactions both in and with his organization. Nine social scientists from Europe or the United States, each with an established reputation in the field of consulting with a psychodynamic or 'clinical perspective', have contributed their experiences and studies to the book.

Chapters explore emotions from the perspective of the language learner and the language teacher, and in relation to educational processes. A number of contributions deal with traditional, school-based contexts, whereas others study new settings of foreign language education such as migration. The book paints a picture of the broad scale of approaches used to study this topic and offers new and relevant insights for the field of language education and emotions. This book will be of great interest to academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the field of language education, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, and applied linguistics.
Download or read book Interpersonal Argumentation in Educational and Professional Contexts written by Francesco Arcidiacono and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-07-11 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive overview of empirical studies based on various approaches devoted to examining the interpersonal argumentative processes involved in different contexts. It also identifies context-dependent similarities and differences in the ways in which argumentative interactions are managed by individuals in a range of educational and professional settings. How can some forms of negotiation, change and debate result from engaging in interpersonal processes during argumentation? How do interpersonal dimensions affect the interdependencies between argumentative exchanges and construction of knowledge and skills? The book clarifies these open questions by providing a discussion of theoretical and empirical issues at the forefront of research, in order to provide a view of how interpersonal argumentation in educational and professional contexts is actually questioned and investigated. It offers readers an opportunity to discover the crucial importance of an in-depth understanding of the role and functions played by the interpersonal dynamics within argumentative interactions occurring in a wide range of educational and professional contexts.
