ABSTRACT
Rapid change in organizations in all sectors, industries, and across the world is the norm today. Disruptions in the workplace are the consequence of increased use of technology and the economic crisis of the mid 2000 decade, which are impacting deeply on work design and management, inducing profound changes in economies and societies. These changes have driven the emergence of "psychosocial risks" in the workplace and social context that have the potential to cause psychosocial, social, and physical harm. Work-related psychosocial risks linked to workplace problems such as stress, violence, and harassment are recognized as major contemporary challenges for occupational health and safety, and more broadly for public health. Psychosocial risks are related to social and economic conditions at work with the potential to affect workers' health, inducing stress, burnout, violence, aggression, harassment, and increasing job insecurity. The approaches to manage psychosocial risks differ according to their level of analysis: macro, organizational, and individual.
