Neoliberalism and Institutional Decline in Chile: Labor Unrest Individualization in Psychologists

de Armas Pedraza T.; Ahumada C.V.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to describe labor unrest experience as recounted by Chilean psychologists in Facebook groups related to Psychology professional practice and education. A qualitative research was applied to 3 groups using Nvivo 11 software, guided by sociological content analysis and complemented with quantitative data. Findings indicate that neoliberalism produces decollectivis anon, which is associated to the representative crisis of College of Psychologists of Chile (COLEPSI), given there is scant organizational legitimacy expressed in a lack of moral legitimacy. 25% of comments claim that COLEPSI does not declare against job insecurity nor undergraduate course-offer lack of regulation (22%). Finally, facing institutional decline psychologists must take on their labor unrest processing, especially by publishing in different Facebook groups with a potential for political articulation in order to generate changes.
