Tom Hagström – författare

Någonting har hänt i arbetslivet. Verksamheter omstruktureras allt oftare för att anpassa sig till en föränderlig omvärld. Det gränslösa arbetet lägger allt större krav på den enskilda individen.Tidigare generella normer för att organisera arbetet med avseende på tid, rum, utförande, ansvar och anställning omvandlas till förmån för en mer individ- och situationsberoende ordning. Nu måste individen i allt större utsträckning själv initiera, motivera, planera, genomföra och ta ansvar för det egna arbetet.

Denna bok handlar om dessa förändringar och de psykiska och sociala konsekvenser som följer med dem. I boken beskrivs och diskuteras de nya arbetsorganisationerna och deras styrmekanismer, de nya kunskapskraven som arbetslivet ställer på individen, de förändrade relationerna mellan arbetet och livet i övrigt samt det nya arbetslivets betydelse för stress och hälsa.

This book proposes a developmental theory of human mind as a basic interaction system of meaning making elements - so called dualities - progressing in dialectical shifts towards higher self-awareness. It elaborates on why this system has developed evolutionary, how it develops in the life courses of humans in modern societies and what hampers and promotes its progression to meet contemporary and future societal challenges.
