| Main themes |
The course is organized in four parts. The first part is about the critical analysis of the theories about well-being applied to the sphere of work and socioprofesional integration. These theories result from the field of organizational psychology and social psychology of work. The second part will analyze the weighs of working conditions, in a multidimensional perspective which will integrate cognitive (e.g. perception of the situation), motivational (e.g. self-esteem) and social (e.g. social interactions and intergroups reltions) processes. The third part will develop questions on prevention and intervention, as well as the tools of measures evaluation. Eventually, the fourth part will be devoted to specific questions, dealing with, for instance, harassment, unemployment effects, work access for persons potentially discriminated (foreigners, women, aged workers,
.), maintenance of employed people and the career developments of these persons, alcoholism at work, night work, interim period
