Abstract

SHIOZAKI, Marcos Paulo  and  HASHIMOTO, Francisco. The degeneration of public spaces and narcissistic overvaluation as facets of malaise at work. Cad. psicol. soc. trab. [online]. 2016, vol.19, n.2, pp. 201-207. ISSN 1516-3717.

In some spaces, the work model is being characterized differently in the present times when compared to that Taylorist way that still predominates in many organizations, with the classic figure centered on the boss and the goals. Precisely because of these changes, this new model has a good reputation for focusing on the individual and a proposal for supposed freedom in working environments where there are no goals and the figure of the boss is dissolved. It is possible to perceive that this overvaluation in the individual creates increasingly particular and individualistic spaces, in the same way that there is a decrease in the investment of places that value the collectivity. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to analyze how the degeneration of public spaces and the narcissistic overvaluation present themselves as factors of malaise at work. In order to carry out this study, some Freudian and Balintian psychoanalytic works were used, in addition to the contribution of the authors of Psicossociology. Thus, it is argued here that the decline of public spaces and narcissistic exacerbation, so labor-related, are increasingly difficult for individuals to find effective spaces for drive satisfaction.
