Abstract

This study explores the role of ideology in social psychology and psychoanalysis by drawing on the theoretical approaches of key figures such as Martín-Baró, Moscovici, Lacan, and Žižek. The research highlights how ideology functions as a structure influencing human subjectivity and actions, particularly through the mechanism of fantasy as articulated in Lacanian theory. Ideology is not only seen as an explicit system of beliefs but also as an unconscious process that shapes identification and social interaction. Through in-depth analysis, this study demonstrates that fantasy plays a crucial role in reproducing ideological structures, thereby enabling the persistence of the existing social order. The study also expands our understanding of how gender and political ideologies are produced and reproduced in everyday life. By integrating psychoanalytic concepts and ideological analysis, this research offers a new perspective on understanding human subjectivity within a social context and proposes a more comprehensive theoretical framework for analyzing the relationship between social psychology and ideology. These findings are expected to contribute significantly to the existing literature and encourage further research in this field.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate and deeply understand the subjective experience of suffering within the psychodynamic context of work, focusing particularly on the psychological and emotional aspects involved. Through qualitative analysis, this research delves into how individuals interpret and experience suffering in the workplace, considering the psychodynamic variables that influence their perceptions and reactions. This provides valuable insights into the internal dynamics of work-related suffering, as well as how these factors impact the psychological well-being of employees. Furthermore, the study explores how these findings can be applied in work intervention practices. By understanding the nuances of the subjective experience of suffering, practitioners can develop more effective and empathetic strategies to support employees facing psychological challenges in the workplace. This opens possibilities for interventions that are more tailored and responsive to the unique needs of individuals

Abstract

This study examines workplace violence from the perspective of occupational health psychology, focusing on its psychological impact and the development of intervention strategies. Using a historical approach, the research reconstructs the organizational discourse of violence by analyzing how subjectivity is controlled within workplace contexts through language, actions, and power dynamics. Workplace violence, including mobbing and psychological harassment, emerges as a systemic issue driven by structural and symbolic violence, deeply ingrained in organizational frameworks and supported by scientific narratives and self-regulation mechanisms. The findings indicate that such violence not only perpetuates but also institutionalizes docile work subjectivities, viewed as desirable in many organizational settings. The study provides a novel contribution by emphasizing the interplay between occupational health psychology and the broader sociocultural contexts that shape workplace interactions. It underscores the psychosocial risks posed by workplace violence to employees' mental health, organizational cohesion, and overall productivity. The conclusions advocate for comprehensive intervention strategies that address the root causes of workplace violence, promote healthier organizational environments, and reduce psychosocial risks. By integrating empirical insights and theoretical perspectives, this study offers valuable implications for policymakers, organizational leaders, and researchers seeking to mitigate the negative impacts of workplace violence.

Abstract

This article examines the intersection of power relations and human management practices in modern organizations, utilizing a Foucauldian and psychopolitical framework. The objective is to explore how contemporary organizations employ psychological mechanisms, disciplinary techniques, and self-regulation strategies to influence employee behavior and professional identity. Unlike traditional hierarchical models of power, this study presents power as a relational and diffuse force embedded in organizational discourse, digital surveillance, and emotional governance. The research methodology involves documentary analysis of a range of materials, including academic literature, corporate policies, and case studies. This enables an exploration of how psychological discourse, performance evaluations, and corporate ideologies function as tools of control, shaping employee actions and identities. Findings suggest that modern organizations use subtle power mechanisms, such as emotional intelligence training and algorithmic management, to promote self-regulation and voluntary compliance with corporate expectations, rather than relying solely on coercion or direct authority. The study contributes to organizational studies, critical management theory, and industrial psychology by offering a comprehensive analysis of power in contemporary labor settings. It highlights how managerial control is internalized by employees, shaping their perceptions of autonomy and productivity. This research emphasizes the need for organizations to reconsider the ethical implications of surveillance, performance monitoring, and emotional labor management. Future research should explore alternative govern
