WORK COLLECTIVE AND THE PRODUCTION OF CRAFTS HEALTH¹

ABSTRACT

This paper initially proposes a conceptual re-reading of the work collective based on the systems of identification, value sharing and standards debates. Based on this analysis, inspired by the work clinics, we present a specific model that aims to identify and present the basic constituent elements of the collective (relations with the craft, affection, recognition and dialogicity). The research was carried out in two stages: a meeting with the work group in the waiting room of an employee health service and a semi-structured interview; the second with the interview clinics, transformed into clinical processes, the focus of this study. Such model was illustrated by real clinical cases, which allow to highlight that the mode of collective operation can make it maintainer or not of the survival and development of a sound craft. Finally, the workers are required to be organizers of their own work, activating the collectives in their potential elements of development and health.
