A STRATEGIC LINE FOR THE CARE OF PEOPLE
INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
The Roads to Development:
Work, Markets and Institutions
October, 20-21, 2025
goal of this strategic line
promote the research and the dialogue multidisciplinary on the role of work in shaping personality, culture and society.
To this end, the line includes projects oriented to:
To deepen the meaning of work in the contemporary world.
Explore the possibilities of work as a vector of development sustainable.
Examine the tensions between organizational structure and vocational dimension of certain professions.
Studying ways of dealing with workThe company's activities, relaxation and leisure in different cultural and social contexts.
Analyze the human and social implications of the transformation of work in the digital era.
The meaning of work
in recent theology
The project will study how to contribute from recent Christian theology (Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox) to the understanding of work in the current context. The interdisciplinary study seeks to pay attention to new perspectives from which to think about work, so that the future of work is inspired by categories such as creativity, relationality, service, solidarity and virtue.
Theological works that have appeared since the second half of the 20th century will be studied from a theological perspective that is attentive to the fundamental dimensions of the human being.
A research multidisciplinary will be addressed to allow for to propose a review of the social model and development and to deploy principles of action capable of influencing the socio-economic system.
It will explore the contemporary implications of the message of the sanctification of the workwho figures in the founding nucleus of Opus Dei, whose centenary is to be celebrated in 2028.
The work as a human vector
of development sustainable
The goal of this project is to show why a concept of work that takes into account its multiple dimensions of value - not only its economic value - is central to advancing from a linear model of development to a model of development sustainable.
The hypothesis is threefold:
The decentwork is part of the development of people and societies not only as source of economic resources but also as source of identity staff and social integration; even if it involves effort, it provides a good to the person and to the society of which it is part, not only for its commercial value but also for the moral and relational values it can incorporate.
Take into consideration the different dimensions of value involved in the work provides a ethical criterion from which to resize the productive and financial activity in the life of the organizations, generating a model of sustainable growthpotentially scalable.
The viability of this class of organizations in an competitive environment requires appropriate legal frameworks that ensure a model partnership reciprocal between state, market and civil society..

Vocational professions
and organization of the work
The aim of this project is to analyze the tensions between the vocational demands of certain professions and the working and organizational conditions in which they are exercised as a possible structural cause of burnout, in order to propose alternative organizational models that, by making better use of talent, favor the development of the professionals involved. In particular, we will focus on healthcare professionals, Education, research and journalism.
The hypothesis is that the greater susceptibility to burnout among vocational and creative professions is due to the collision of criteria regarding the way of approaching work, when this responds to an internal motivation, and when it responds to external stimuli, generally economic. Hence, without being reduced to this, such tensions are exacerbated in contexts of job insecurity.

With a humanistic vision of management, we seek to generate knowledge to increase the sense of purpose in organizations.
We are generating an observatory of data longitudinal and multilevel in order to analyze the benefits of purpose, its impact on sustainability and under what conditions it is most effectively implemented.
We have developed tools to diagnose the implementation of purpose in an organization.
We combine quantitative analysis with qualitative dynamics to have a more complete knowledge of the business reality.

PI: Dr. Anna Dulska
Description: The research has a double goal. a) to identify those factors that make the people who make up the production workforce go to work space, focusing on the staff, social and cultural meaning of work, as projected in the organizational culture of business, and as perceived by employees, differentiating them from those factors that encourage absenteeism. b) to design a questionnaire applicable to selection process of new hires that ensures high rates of presenteeism."
Forum business and Humanism for interdisciplinary reflection on the transformations of the world and of work in the digital era.
We are immersed in the fourth industrial revolution: 4.0. Advanced technology is the protagonist: robotics, digitalization, AI, 3D printing, industrial biotechnology, sustainable materials and spaces, nanotechnology, etc. In each industrial revolution, new ways of work appear , which end up influencing how man conceives himself, his relationship with others and his experience of the world.
Through the organization of interdisciplinary seminars, this forum aims to study how the new forms of work that emerge in the digital era change our way of experiencing time, the way we perceive reality and sometimes its meaning.
