A produção teórica sobre as condições de trabalho dos profissionais inseridos no Sistema Único de Assistência Social

Abstract

The work has undergone countless transformations in recent decades. There were decreases in jobs, increased services, precarious contracts, more flexible labor laws, and the recent labor counter-reform (2017). These changes affect the universe of work and cause redefinitions in the State and in social policies. The implantation of Meus from 2004 expands the job market for social workers, psychologists and other professionals. However, it contradictorily increases the precariousness of the conditions under which this work is carried out. These workers are subordinated to the processes of alienation, lack of autonomy and intensification of the workload. In this way, this research carries out a survey of the bibliography that deals with how the work processes in the capitalist system, especially in public social assistance policies, contribute to the psychic illness of its workers, specifically, psychologists and social workers. Bibliographical research was carried out through books, based on the main concepts of Karl Marx, Christophe Dejours and authors who problematize their theories. Theses, dissertations at the Capes Thesis Bank, the Virtual Health Library and Scielo were also used. The descriptors used were psychic health, SUAS workers, working conditions, capitalism. Thus, the reflections developed point to a complex and challenging conjuncture to the material and subjective conditions of the work of the social worker and psychologists. Therefore, it can be inferred, from the data presented here, that the professional routine in which the SUAS social worker and psychologist is found is composed of several challenges, which influence his condition as a worker, such as the ways of hiring and professional devaluation, for example. Likewise, there is a movement of capital towards the constitution of an ideological conformation and the composition of the consensus that the capitalist system is permanent.
