Abstract: The labor world in recent decades has undergone profound changes: on different types of contractual relations, on technology, on changes in the workforce. The outcome of these changes is a new world of work, which often seems to be characterized by a strong push towards efficiency, and profit, push driven mainly by the logic of profit, often with little attention to ethics and to the needs of the human. The changes, therefore, seem to favor the economic sphere, with little consideration of their impact on wellbeing of workers. It’s increasingly felt the need to carry out a reorganization of the work, to make it functional to the achievement of the welfare in the working communities. It’s urgent to originate to new organizational forms to create good work and the wellbeing of workers in specific relational and organizational contexts: the worker’s wellbeing generates economic profit for the company and ‘‘general welfare’’.
