Objetivos:

O objetivo da disciplina é discutir como o trabalho pode ser compreendido como elemento central do desenvolvimento de sistemas produtivos, organizações e sociedades sustentáveis. Em cada um dos temas propostos a centralidade do trabalho para a sustentabilidade será analisada a partir de diferentes perspectivas teóricas (teoria dos sistemas, teoria da complexidade, ergonomia da atividade, green ergonomics, sustainable system-of-systems, entre outras) e contextuais (Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável, transição para a economia circular e justiça social, transformação digital, entre outras).

Objectives:

The course aims to explore how work can be understood as a central element in fostering sustainable production systems, organizations, and societies. Each of the proposed topics will examine the centrality of work in sustainability through various theoretical perspectives — such as systems theory, complexity theory, activity ergonomics, green ergonomics, and sustainable system-of-systems — and contextual lenses, including the Sustainable Development Goals, the transition to a circular economy and social justice, and digital transformation.

Justificativa:

Questões relacionadas ao trabalho humano são frequentemente negligenciadas nas discussões sobre sustentabilidade. Esta disciplina parte do princípio de que produtos, processos, sistemas de produção, organizações e sociedades só podem ser consideradas sustentáveis se forem resultado de trabalhos sustentáveis. Nesse sentido, fornece uma compreensão abrangente das questões contemporâneas sobre a centralidade do trabalho para a sustentabilidade. Os(as) alunos(as) terão conhecimento sobre conceitos, modelos, pesquisas e práticas voltadas à promoção do trabalho sustentável. Pretende-se que os alunos apreendam conceitos de sistemas complexos para pensar o trabalho como elemento central e integrado à sustentabilidade nas dimensões econômica, ambiental, social e tecnológica.

Rationale:

Human work-related issues are often overlooked in discussions about sustainability. This discipline is grounded in the principle that products, processes, production systems, organizations, and societies can only be deemed sustainable if they result from sustainable work practices. In this context, the course offers a comprehensive understanding of contemporary issues concerning the central role of work in sustainability. Students will gain insights into concepts, models, research, and practices that promote sustainable work. The aim is for students to grasp complex systems concepts, positioning work as a central, integrated element within the economic, environmental, social, and technological dimensions of sustainability.
