Abstract:

Welfare reform has seen disabled people finding their eligibility for unconditional welfare benefits reassessed through the Work Capability Assessment. The welfare-to-work policy has seen those that are economically inactive and unemployed constructed as problematic groups who require intervention to become productive members of mainstream society. The Work Capability Assessment process has been criticised for not adequately assessing work capability in people with mental health difficulties and has been deemed discriminatory against mental health service users. There is a paucity of research

Abstract:

Workplace mediation services are committed to developing strategies that help people resolve conflict. In its various intrapsychic and psychosocial guises conflict is central to psychoanalytic theory and practice, but within the current literature there are no qualitative workplace mediation studies explicitly drawing on psychoanalytic/systems psychodynamic theory and thinking. In this way, the dynamic unconscious is effectively marginalised from the mediation research literature. This research adopts a case study approach, and reports the findings of a mixed methods mediation service review u

Abstract:

Capability is a long-established term and concept that has found its way to be used to describe organisations. It provides the basis for a genre of analysis, design and planning methods used in several fields. In enterprise architecture frameworks, capability has become a central architectural and fundamental element. In the field of strategic management, it was used in the 1990s to describe the resources and core competencies that a company needs in order to compete in a market, while in military applications, the concept of capability is used for mission planning. It has also been suggested

This is an inter-disciplinary argument for a moral entitlement to a capability to be healthy. Motivated by the goal to make a human right to health intelligible and justifiable, the thesis extends the capability approach, advocated by Amartya Sen and Martha Nussbaum, to the theory and practice of the human health sciences. Moral claims related to human health are considered at the level of ethical theory, or a level of abstraction where principles of social justice that determine the purpose, form, and scope of basic social institutions are proposed, evaluated, and justified.

As a result, the potential reciprocity between managers’ psychosocial work conditions, health and leadership is not in focus.
