Abstract

Occupational health is the refl ection of this defi nition in working life. Occupational diseases originating from psychosocial factors confront us as the result of risks faced in workplace and have a negative impact on employees' productiveness, peace, and health. All these factors infl uence labor peace negatively. This issue has psychological, legal, and economic aspects. Though occupational health and safety is of particular concern to employees, employers, society, and national economy, psychological occupational diseases have quite a limited coverage in literature. Based on the explanations made above, the present study will concretely present the psychosocial risk factors emerging in the unique structure of working life in Turkey in the fi rst place. Then problems associated with psychological occupational diseases resulting from psychosocial risk factors that are experienced by employees will be analyzed based on responses to the survey form developed. After the results are evaluated, it will be possible to develop policies about methods of fi ghting with the problems caused by psychological occupational diseases in workplace, family, and society. It will be showed that if appropriate measures are taken on this subject, effi ciency and productivity in workplace can be increased by supporting employees exposed to psychosocial risks in workplace through corporate and legal arrangements. It is considered that the present study will considerably improve the awareness of all parties concerned with the issue.
