Title: IT and
psychosocial occupational risks: a Delphi study
Abstract: Working life
is being transformed. Most of organization based their structures in information
and knowledge, and knowledge based work have new potential occupational risks
that should be redefined and even discovered. The most striking development
is the changing nature of work itself and its increased psychosocial workload.
Traditional physical risks are relatively under control in new knowledge environment,
but psychosocial risks are increasing and represent an important source of
health problems. In this paper we present exploratory results about the emerging
working risk in information society. We have conducted a Delphy study to
determine ICT organizational factors that affect the psychosocial labour
risk in information society. A broad group of factors were determined, by
expert consensus, to be important at the conclusion of this study.
