Employability, Changes and Psychosociological Demands on Work

This article presents some reflections on the `employability` construct, based on the ""Empregabilidade: Versoes e implicacoes. Uma leitura desde a Psicologia Social"" research project. Its history is presented first as an instrumental notion implying several meanings, all oriented towards holding people responsible for entering, staying at or leaving jobs. This reflection includes, beyond individualization, questions about visible or invisible actors involved in labor markets and in the definition of its criteria and rules. Interfaces with the academic world and formation devices are also discussed, as well as demands for Human Resources personnel and practices. Finally, questions about the psychosocial implications of the phenomenon are presented.

Sentidos das ações voluntárias: desafios e limites para a organização do trabalho

O trabalho voluntário representa uma das bases de sustentabilidade das Organizações Não-Governamentais, principalmente para a manutenção e continuidade dos projetos institucionais. Em contrapartida, vem sendo considerado fator de degradação do trabalhador que está excluído do mercado. Partindo de uma experiência de implantação de rotinas para acolhimento e integração de voluntários em uma ONG/AIDS, este estudo teve por objetivo a caracterização dos voluntários e a compreensão da diversidade de sentidos presentes nas ações voluntárias, visando subsidiar a avaliação e planejamento das ações de organização do trabalho adotadas pela instituição. A análise temática de conteúdo das entrevistas, realizadas com 20 candidatos ao trabalho voluntário, permitiu a caracterização do perfil, das suas concepções e expectativas. Em síntese, o trabalho voluntário pareceu representar um recurso de qualificação para a inserção no mercado de trabalho e elemento importante para formação da identidade social e socialização do conhecimento em HIV/AIDS.

Os (des)caminhos de um pesquisador do futebol brasileiro

The research in professional football within the human and social sciences, despite increased, still faced limitations and restrictions imposed by the clubs, hindering its realization. As part of my master's thesis, this article aims to portray the effects of leadership on the functioning of the group and to detect the importance and necessity of cohesion in a professional team of footballers. Furthermore, the relationship between the researcher and the football club was analyzed and described, as well as the limitations and obstacles encountered during field research. Following the guidelines of qualitative research and having social psychology as a theoretical background (Kurt Lewin and Pichon-Rivière), this research resulted from the analysis of a professional football club (players, staff and executives of a club with national and international importance) during 5 days of daily contact with the group in games, practice, concentration and meals. The difficulties in analyzing the group's leadership and cohesion were vast, among which stand out the difficulty or impossibility of access to the places-situations suggested as methodology, their refusals to interviews and rejection of the administration of a free choice test. The bond created and the roles taken harmed attempts for further analysis. Therefore, due to the characteristics of contemporary football, especially the financial and political interests the difficulties likely to arise range according to the characteristics of the institution

Proyecto de investigación: Representaciones sobre el rol profesional de graduados recientes de la carrera de psicología de la UNLP : Su relación con la inserción y el desempeño laboral

Se presenta una investigación desarrollado entre los años 2010-2012, en el marco de una Beca de Iniciación en Investigación, otorgada por la U.N.L.P. La misma se vincula con el problema de la transición entre los estudios universitarios y el ejercicio profesional. Se inscribe dentro de los trabajos relativos a la importancia de las representaciones sociales como factores que inciden en el desempeño de actividades específicas. Se trata en este caso de la indagación de las relaciones entre las representaciones sobre el rol profesional de graduados de la carrera de Licenciatura en Psicología y su inserción y desempeño laboral. El marco teórico corresponde a la Psicología Social y a las Teorías de la Orientación. En cuanto a la metodología, se trata de un diseño exploratorio descriptivo transeccional, basado en la concepción denominada 'triangulación' de tipo 'múltiple', que permite combinar en una misma investigación, diferentes estrategias, perspectivas teóricas y fuentes de datos; no obstante, se han priorizado técnicas cualitativas de análisis de datos. Finalmente, se hacen consideraciones acerca de las representaciones sociales en torno a la actuación profesional preferentemente en el campo de la clínica en consonancia con la formación recibida, así como a los problemas derivados de ambas situaciones respecto de otros campos de trabajo
