摘要

职业健康与安全(OHS)在很大程度上是一个技术性领域,仍然以生物医学健康模式为指导,试图分离出导致伤害的因素。尽管有关影响职业健康的组织和管理因素的文献越来越多,但将这些因素完全纳入职业健康与安全概念的工作进展缓慢。我们仍然需要更广泛的理解,以认识到工作结构的调整以及工作健康与管理风格之间的联系。在工作环境迅速变化、劳动力日益多样化和不平等的背景下,职业健康与安全需要考虑到社会科学和人文科学,以拓宽其还原论视野。职业病、困扰和痛苦,尤其是与关系或组织问题有关的职业病、困扰和痛苦,没有最初的原因或特定的本体论;它们产生于一个长期的过程或重复的关系模式,需要考虑到背景因素和动态因素,对其进行更深入的揭示和理解。利用作者的人类学背景和格雷戈里-贝特森(Gregory Bateson)及其帕洛阿尔托传播学院同事几十年前提出的双重束缚理论的基本原则,我们提出了对工作场所中的实用悖论或双重束缚情况(可简要定义为存在相互矛盾或冲突的要求或信息)、其对工人健康和福祉的潜在影响以及如何解决这些问题的思考。本文试图通过讨论在职业健康背景下出现的不同类别、类型或形式的悖论/双重束缚及其内在机制,探索实用悖论和双重束缚的世界。我们还讨论了与超级多样性概念的可能联系,因为超级多样性也与移民渠道、就业、性别流动和地方系统有关。最后,我们从促进对职业健康采取更全面和对背景更敏感的互动方法的角度,讨论了这一理解对卫生专业人员、研究人员和政策制定者的实际影响。

A Reflection on Paradoxes and Double Binds in the Workplace in the Era of Super-Diversity
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a largely technical field, still guided by a biomedical model of health that seeks to isolate factors that cause injury. Despite a growing literature on organisational and managerial factors influencing occupational health, their full integration into the OHS concept has been slow. A broader understanding is still needed to recognise the restructuring of work and the link between well-being at work and management style. In the context of a rapidly changing world of work, increasing workforce diversity, and inequality, OHS needs to take account of the social sciences and humanities to broaden its reductionist vision. Occupational illnesses, distress, and suffering, especially in relation to relational or organisational issues, have no initial cause or specific ontology; they result from a long-standing process or repetitive relational pattern that needs to be exposed and understood in greater depth, considering contextual factors and dynamics. Using the authors’ anthropological backgrounds and the basic principles of the double bind theory developed many decades ago by Gregory Bateson and his colleagues at the Palo Alto School of Communication, we propose a reflection on pragmatic paradoxes or double bind situations in the workplace (which can be briefly defined as the presence of contradictory or conflicting demands or messages), their potential impact on workers’ health and well-being, and how to resolve them. This paper sought to explore the world of pragmatic paradoxes and double binds by discussing different categories, types, or forms of paradoxes/double binds that occur in the context of occupational health and their underlying mechanisms. It also includes a discussion of the possible link to the concept of super-diversity, as it too is associated with migration channels, employment, gendered flows, and local systems. Finally, we discuss the practical implications of this understanding for health professionals, researchers, and policymakers, from a perspective of promoting more holistic and context-sensitive interactional approaches to occupational health.
