Abstract

Bad working conditions can affect people and lead them to commit suicide. For example, in france between 300 and 400 suicides per year are directly linked to working conditions. Through poor working conditions we mean three major trends, which exert a bad pressure on the way people work. The macro-economic situation carried out an insecurity feeling as regards unemployment. Workers must constantly give their utmost in order to safeguard their job. They fear losing their job that's why they accept going through high level of pressure provided they preserve their job. However, by doing so more and more workers exceed their limits and fall in depression. Moreover, workers currently evolve within an ever more demanding environment. They must face imposed overtime and reduced break times. Such a situation exerts a constant pressure on workers, which can feel stressed by their working conditions. Recent sociological evolutions are deeply transforming the way people used to work. Indeed, in our current society people work in a individualistic way. As a result relationships within most companies are worsening. Workers suffer from a lack of communication within companies, which can affect their psychological state of mind.
