Abstract

Abstract: The article outlines the research pathways that have led social psychology of work to study labor daily life. We present daily life as a seizure of the reality field, coming from an interdisciplinary discussion on the topic, emphasizing aspects of repetition and rupture and the relationship between micro and macro-social dimensions. We locate the efforts of composing daily life as the object of social psychology and point to the difficulties of theorizing such an object. Lastly, we discuss the recognition of daily life as a privileged field of research for the project of a social psychology of work, as it favors the recognition of singularities of the senses and meanings constructed by workers, of forms of social interaction, of organizational processes, of micropolitics, of the cunning practices built within the asymmetrical relationships of power.
