Η κοινωνιολογία της εργασίας αντιμέτωπη με την εμφάνιση νέων παθολογιών: Στρες, επαγγελματική εξουθένωση, παρενόχληση

Abstract

The transformation of the organizational and production models, along with the development of the service sector has been accompanied by the emergence of new demands in terms of safety at the workplace. Mental health and wellbeing at the workplace constitute the centre of various trade union actions, while they have also attracted the attention of academic research and articles in the daily press focusing on stress, burn out and harassment. Research carried out thus far has been conducted mainly by psychologists or medical doctors, and sociologists more often than not make reference to the findings of that research. The aim of the paper is to provide a sociological analysis of mental health at the workplace, in an attempt to overcome the existing approaches.
