Les enjeux psychosociaux de la santé au travail: Des modèles d'analyse à l'action sur l'organisation

Abstract

The article proposes both to analyze psychosocial stakes at the workplace and to explore health curative or preventive actions at the organizational level. We first delineate our understanding of psychosocial stakes and point to the limits of the main explicative models that link work and health regarding their reach in terms of actions on the organization. We then present our approach named «Design and Dynamics of Organization«: it articulates a model to diagnose psychic health at work (exploring actors' global identity dynamics) and a model to (re)design the organization of activities (strategy, processes, structure, resources). We illustrate the approach with an actual case of collaborative research. These two models, when combined with a device to follow the reorganizing process, allow to deal (in a defensive or a curative way) with the psychosocial stakes at work thanks to actions on the organization. © 2011 Lavoisier, Paris.
