The program of Work Psychology aims to offer the student an introduction on the main theories and research in the field of work psychology to address basic issues of the discipline and the main interventions in this domain. The course is divided into three parts. The first part refers to the psychology for the promotion of workers and the development of organizations (work in different disciplinary contexts; the working population; origins, development and perspectives of work and organizational psychology; paradigms and theories of work and organizational psychology) and to the relation between person and work (work performance; abilities, cognitive complexity and analysis of the reality; personality, self-efficacy and coping; emotions; professional competences; values, needs and psychological contract). The second part addresses the relation with the role and the interpersonal relationships (choice of job and organizational socialization; interpersonal relationships and roles; work group; organizational coexistence) and the relationship with the organization (change and organizational development) and how to manage the relationships (to communicate, motivate, influence/lead, negotiate) and satisfaction, health, and well-being (job satisfaction; security, accidents and professional risks; stress, psychosocial risks and organizational health, professional intervention). The third part addresses the communication in workplace, focusing on relational styles (from hindering styles comprehension styles) and on the facilitation of communication/relational processes from modalities of active listening to be used in working contexts.
