A METASYNTHESIS ON THE SCHOLARLY JOURNAL CADERNOS DE PSICOLOGIA SOCIAL DO TRABALHO IN ITS TWO DECADES OF EXISTENCE

Abstract

This paper presents a metasynthesis on the scholarly journal Cadernos de Psicologia Social do Trabalho (CPST) in its two decades of existence. The metasynthesis comprises a review method that aims to systematize and describe the studied material, leading to an interpretative analysis of the results. This is a way to present the history of the Journal and also to analyze the development of the discipline of Social Psychology of Work (PST) in Brazil. In order to accomplish our objectives, we used the journal as the object of study and as the source of data. We decided to work with all the documents published by the journal, submitting them to a five-stage process: exploration, refinement, crossing, description and analysis. The treatment given to the journal's collection allowed us to corroborate with the founding and structuring milestones of Social Work Psychology. We can indicate that the vitality and potency of the work phenomena demanded from Psychology a different attitude towards the notions of work and employment.

Key words:
Cadernos de Psicologia Social do Trabalho; Metasynthesis; Social Psychology of Work
