    New work risks emerge from technological and economic shifts, impacting individuals and organizations. Occupational medicine must adapt by understanding these risks and prioritizing clinical dimensions over mere classification.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Sociology of Work
    • Organizational Psychology

    Background:

    • Rapid technological and socio-economic changes are reshaping the workplace, creating a gap between individual needs (security, belonging, recognition) and organizational demands (flexibility, productivity).
    • This evolving landscape introduces new occupational risks and fosters 'at-risk' work settings characterized by organizational discomfort and a pervasive sense of precariousness.
    • Workers face the challenging task of re-envisioning their roles by dismantling outdated mental models and adopting new, adaptive ones to navigate job insecurity.

    Discussion:

    • Occupational medicine plays a dual role: understanding novel risks within their organizational context and advocating for a shift within the discipline.
    • The proposed shift moves from a classification-dominant medical model towards reinstating the clinical dimension, emphasizing a research-oriented approach to workplace problems.

  • This necessitates building robust networks both internally within occupational medicine and externally across different disciplines to effectively address emerging challenges.

    • Key Insights:

    • The modern work environment presents unique risks stemming from the tension between individual expectations and organizational pressures.
    • Workers require support in adapting their cognitive frameworks to the realities of precarious employment.
    • Occupational medicine's evolving role involves contextual risk assessment and a disciplinary pivot towards clinical relevance.

    Outlook:

    • Future occupational health strategies must integrate a deeper understanding of organizational dynamics and individual psychological needs.
    • There is a need for interdisciplinary collaboration to develop comprehensive solutions for workplace well-being.
    • Re-emphasizing the clinical dimension in occupational medicine research and practice is crucial for addressing contemporary work-related health issues.
