| Résumé : |
Epidemiologic data indicates an increase of work-related mental disorders. Our aim is to study the contributions of both levels – micro and macro – for understanding and acting on psychosocial risks. Is the enterprise able to allocate resources to prevent psychosocial risks or is it only a victim, unable to fight against the market’s laws?
Concerning the macro level, we discuss the contributions of epidemiologic data, which help tailoring public policies. This level allows to write new laws (e.g. on the “right for employees to disconnect”). But these new sources of law have to be linked altogether. Some of these are opposite to some other. How can we cope with these contradictions at the enterprise’s level? If laws may highlight occupational health issues and improve the working conditions for employees, a non-global approach will just product new laws, instead of creating the conditions of a discussion on this topic.
Concerning the micro level, as an occupational physician, we had a look on possibilities offered by occupational health services (OHS). Employers do not really perceive OHS as useful resources. From this level, it is possible to bridge real work and health, using the theoretical frame of clinics of activity. The role played by work-related issues is discussed regarding interpersonal conflicts. Health issues may be externalized. Propositions of tailored improvements on working conditions may be performed. The OHS may help employees to benefit from compensations for their occupational diseases or accidents.
In our way to consider this question, these two levels have raised two different topics: the employment at a macro level, the real work at a micro level. We hereby state that employment and real work bring different elements to better understand psychosocial risks in the enterprises. |
