Learning Objectives

  • PSICOLOGIA DEL LAVORO E METODI DI CAREER COUNSELING

    The course aims to illustrate the main aspects that characterize the psychology of work.
    Through the topics covered, which refer to both individual characteristics (interests, values, skills) and environmental ones (organizational climate and culture, safety at work, psychosocial risks), it will be possible to outline the complex dynamics that exist between people, groups and context organization and their effects on the individual perception of work experience.
    Approaches to career support and career prospects planning will also be analyzed. The theoretical tools acquired will allow to deepen the activities that characterize the career counseling interventions. At the end of the course, students will have to know the theories and models of work psychology and have acquired the conceptual tools that, in professional practice, allow them to interpret their own and others' work activity in terms of potential and criticality
