Düzgün İşten İyi̇ Oluş Hali̇ne: “Sorry We Missed You” Fi̇lm Anali̇zi̇

Abstract

The concept of "decent work", which was officially introduced to the literature by the ILO in 1999, aims to increase the decent job opportunities of employees whose working conditions are deteriorating day by day due to globalization. Although it is seen that many issues related to employment are examined through film analysis in the literature, it is noteworthy that there is no study that examine decent work via film analysis. It is believed that this study will fill this gap in the literature. In this context, first, the concept of decent work has been examined within the framework of the Psychology of Working Theory (PWT). Then, elements of decent work and their effects on well-being are evaluated within the scope of PWT through selected scenes from the “Sorry We Missed You” film. As a result, it has been revealed that the courier service of the main character of the film is insufficient in terms of each of the decent work elements. Accordingly, it has been determined that the psychological and physiological well-being of the character deteriorates over time. It can be stated that “indecent work” has negative effects on psychological and physiological well-being.
