ANDRADE JARAMILLO, Verónica. Changes in work relationships: Paradoxes and consequences in the current world of work. Divers.: Perspect. Psicol. [online]. 2014, vol.10, n.2, pp.337-351. ISSN 1794-9998.

The aim of this paper is to make a conceptual analysis oriented to understand the changes occurring in the world of work in recent decades given that those changes are crucial to analyze the relationship between person and work. Such changes are driven by at least three trends: competition, technology and globalization. The paper makes a mention of the paradoxes of the current job market, and six specific changes are made explicit as a product of the above trends and paradoxes. Among the changes explained in the paper there are the rising of precarious jobs and the change in the organizations functioning; changes in the forms and manifestations of work; change in the way as human beings are represented with respect to the work; changes in the inclusion (and exclusion) criteria, stability in the labor market and the responsibility of every person about its employability; changes in the configuration of subjectivity and the place that the work occupies in such subjectivity, including the establishment of the psychological contract, the career construction, identity, and how to represent the agency; and finally the paper explains the changes in the way of managing human resources within organizations. We conclude that the study and intervention on the current world of work requires of leaving linear and cause-and-effect visions in order to consider thoughtful analysis and interventions more relevant and pertinent, given the complexity of nowadays world of work.
