“…On this and to strengthen our interpretation and reflection, we also build upon the contributions of the ergological approach 4 (Schwartz 1997). In the eyes of this perspective, Schwartz and Durrive (2003) classify studies that rely exclusively on canvassing the opinion of technical experts on work changes as resulting from "hypothetical-deductive approaches", reflecting attempts to anticipate and standardise professional activities and all the variability they face in real work environments. Such "deductive thinking" tends to distract from the human work experience, considering the debates of norms and values in which all work activities are immersed.…”

“…The main reason for the intensification of this speculative and prophetic nature is the fact that analysts put a heavy emphasis on the technical innovations side while failing to consider the work activities side required to operate the new automated work systems. Schwartz and Durrive (2003) address this tendency to speculate about the future of work "at the expenses of work activity, giving rise to a standoff, as a tabula rasa. ( .…”

“…Through the lens of Ergology, work activity is not a mere application of norms and procedures; rather, managing the distance between the prescribed dimension of work and the real conditions of work is what makes it possible to understand the activity as a permanent debate of norms: a debate of "antecedent norms" (that codifies and precedes work activity) and the real work. In this sense, through the management of such debates, work activity expresses the individuality, values, and unique history (both individual and collective) of those who perform it (Schwartz 1997;Schwartz and Durrive 2003).…”

Debates around the future of work have (re-)emerged strongly as concerns about a new era of workplace automation grow from a plethora of narratives estimating the potential of machine substitution. This research aims to analyse how these perspectives dictate current discussions based on taken-for-granted assumptions about work. The analysis takes the lens of work psychology and delves into the case of automated vehicles (AVs), an oft-debated form of automation by its implications for the transport workforce. We explore how the debate is subdued to a deterministic “metrological universe”, overloading the present epoch with certainty about imaginaries of “driverless futures”. However, when we move our attention beyond the quantitative speculation of future employment and connect automation with the concrete socio-professional realities of transport workers, such imaginaries are deconstructed while key issues regarding the quality of work with AVs emerge. By arguing that such issues remain “forgotten” in dominant technological discussions, bipartite and tripartite actions towards decent work are gathered, considering the institutional constellation in road transport. As future research, we propose to challenge those governance models predicated on the language of AV acceptance, which ultimately places the responsibility of managing the uncertainties that AVs hold on the shoulders of transport workers.

Este artigo aborda o trabalho, em especial o trabalho de pessoas com transtornos mentais graves. Encontra-se socialmente predominante a visão construída na história da psiquiatria de que essas pessoas não podem trabalhar, que são incapazes de adequar-se às exigências presentes em qualquer meio de produção ou serviço. Esse julgamento de incapacidade acabou por aumentar o isolamento e impedir uma aproximação maior dessas pessoas com o trabalho. A ergologia, abordagem desenvolvida para compreender e transformar o trabalho, foi tomada aqui como ferramenta principal para pensá-lo em sua relação com pessoas que sofrem de transtornos mentais graves, considerando a realidade dos mundos do trabalho e da reforma psiquiátrica no Brasil hoje. Palavras-chave: Trabalho, Transtorno mental, Ergologia, Competência, Reforma psiquiátrica. Labor, organization and people with severe mental ill This paper deals with labor, particulary the labor of people with severe mental ill. It has been widely spread in the point of view proposed in the history of psychiatry, according to which these people may not work and are incapable to address the demands from the production and service means. It helped to increase the isolation of these people, wiping them away from the work environment. In this work the ergology, developed approach to understand and transform the labor, has been taken as the main tool to think it in to relation with these people, taking into consideration the reality of the worlds labor and the psychiatric reform in Brazil.
