Theoretical and Methodological Questions Concerning a Contextual Approach to Psychosocial Issues of Working Life

Development of a Diary-in-Group Method

Lund University, Sweden

A participative approach in dealing with problems of the psychosocial work environment poses theoretical and methodological questions that are examined from a general epistemological perspective, with particular focus being placed on tensions between various forms of knowledge. This article demonstrates that emphasis on contextual aspects of knowledge is important, both from a theoretical and a practical standpoint. A diary-in-group method aimed at handling problems of contextuality is presented. An account of its use within a study of the psychosocial work environment of theater actors is provided.
