Sumario: Wellbeing at work (WAW) continues to increase in importance for employees and employers and across countries. While there are different definitions of what the concept entails, within the European Union (EU) one useful definition acknowledges that well being is a summative concept that characterises the quality of working lives, including occupational safety and health (OSH) aspects, and it may be a major determinant of productivity at the individual, enterprise and societal levels¿ (1). The relevance of the concept is heightened further as the work environment continues to change assisted by increasing migration (especially from less developed to more developed countries), globalisation, the development of new technologies, the move from manufacturing to service-basedeconomies, the ageing workforce and population, an increase in the number of women in the workforce, and the transformation of work patterns; these factors have led to a workforce for which psychosocial risks have increased in priority. Therefore, there is a need to keep employees healthier, which in turn could increase the length of time spent in the workforce and thereby assist with some of the factors mentioned above, such as the ageing workforce. OSH addresses the safety and health of the workforce; while the health¿ aspect is as relevant as the safety¿ aspect in ensuring workplace wellbeing, at times this may not be reflected in the policies within organisations

Los cambios socioeconómicos y tecnológicos (implantación de sistemas robóticos, re-engineering, lean management, lean production, etc.)ocurridos en las formaciones capitalistas en las últimas tres décadas han tenido profundas repercusiones en el ámbito de la organización productiva y de las técnicas de fabricación. En este contexto, catalogado como neo/postfordista, el trabajo productivo(/reproductivo), que tiene en la ciencia aplicada y en las formas de vida (socialidad) los principales ingredientes, muta a través de esa compleja articulación de sistemas máquina y régimen flexible. Uno de los efectos de estas transformaciones ha sido la dualización social: estables y precarios o excluidos (contingent jobs, working poor, parados estructurales, etc.). Ante ello, surgen diversas propuestas: desde aquellos que sostienen (Castells, etc.) que los nuevos sectores económicos compensaran el paro tecnológico inducido hasta los que afirman (Offe, "dinero gratis", etc.) que el carácter paradójico e irreversible de estos procesos legitima el derecho a una renta garantizada y sin contrapartidas para los excluidos. Con todo, lo que pone de manifiesto este escenario es la necesidad de elaborar una teoría social (y política) crítica acorde con los procesos postindustriales (capital cognitivo, producción inmaterial, etc.) que contemple, entre otras, las aportaciones ludditas o las de la antropología de Clastres. ; The socioeconomic and technological changes (such as robotics, reengineering, lean management, lean production,…)that happened in the capitalist formations over the last three decades have had deep impact in the production line organization and in the mass production techniques. Within this context, described as "neopostfordism", the productive/ reproductive work that has its main ingredients in applied science and in the ways of life transforms itself through this complex articulation of machine systems and flexible hiring. One of the results of these changes has been a social duality such as stable and unstable contracts or left outs (contingent jobs, working poor, structural unemployed).There are different answers to this process. From the ones who hold up that the new economic groups will make up for the unemployment brought in (Castells, etc.) to the ones who reaffirm that the irreversible paradoxical aspect of this process recognizes the right to a fix rent for the left outs (Offe, "free money", etc.). All in all, what is a must in front of this performance is to build up a critic social (and political) theory according to the postindustrial procedures (cognitive capital, immaterial production…)A new theory to deal with "ludditas" contributions or with the Clastres anthropology ones.
