Contribuições para o estudo do sofrimento psíquico no trabalho em decorrência da ameaça de perda do emprego

Abstract

Work: the human capacity of transofrming nature, both externally and interanlly, thorugh the establishment of links. It enables satisfaction to be achieved, both in relation to oneself and m other fields, including the social, the economic etc. It also avoids suffering when its aim is of subsisting. Globalization. levered by economic liberalism, creates in the worker a feeling og feartowards the menace ob being excluded from the possibility of working.' This market enables the establishment of links thar ensure the worker with his insertion in the field of language - the social field. Defense mechanisms are created agains real danger and risks, which lead the worker to yield to the work conditions, restraining his expression as the subject responsible for hisown history. A domination, which is allowed by the worker, is reinforced, with the exploitation or the work capacity on its maximum level, by means of tuming psychic suffering banal. This suffering entwines with ethical issues, as the boundaries between submission ain intolerance are not clearly known. The worker submits due to the illusion of omnipotence of fulfilling the institution's demands, and due to indirectly enjoying the power relation.
