This paper aims to explore contributions of critical psychology for the understanding of the dynamics that take place in the world of work and organizations, and some reviews that this psychology makes to the organizational psychology and modern work. To this end, some basic conceptual elements are proposed to clarify the meaning of the subjectivity concept and the implications of the critical psychology. This paper also presents some thoughts that make explicit the ways in which psychological discourse -furthermore, reflected in the practice- is embedded in the world of work and organizations, and greatly contributes for building the subjectivities of the working people, and the relationships established within working organizations.
