Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Modern work structures, driven by technology and production demands, increasingly disconnect individuals from natural temporal rhythms.
  • This disconnection, characterized by task fragmentation and sensory isolation, contributes to increased stress and dissatisfaction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of modern working time organization on individual well-being and self-realization.
  • To explore the psychopathological risks associated with current work paradigms, including burnout.

Main Methods:

  • Conceptual analysis of the temporal aspects of work and their psychological effects.
  • Review of societal and individual responses to the pressures of modern working conditions.

Main Results:

  • Current work organization, with its arbitrary divisions and high production rates, fosters negative emotions like boredom and resentment, hindering self-realization.
  • Psychopathological risks such as burnout are exacerbated by these conditions, leading to maladaptive coping mechanisms.

Conclusions:

  • The traditional organization of working time is detrimental to psychological health and self-fulfillment.
  • Future medicine must prioritize reconciling working and non-working time to promote well-being and prevent burnout.
