ULB Interdisciplinary Research Institute for Sports
U-IRIS is intended to bring together research skills existing at ULB in the fields of sports and physical activity in order to stimulate collaboration and interdisciplinary research. The research carried out within U-IRIS could be the basis of evidence-based advice in various fields of sport and physical activity. ULB and each of U-IRIS partner groups, as well as their existing activities, platforms, infrastructures and collaborations, will gain in visibility, both internally and externally in a promising and rapidly evolving field. The research carried out by U-IRIS is designed to be both fundamental and applied. It is developed around five major axes: - clinics / sports medicine - high level sports / performance - rehabilitation / handicap and sports - sports and society (including education through sports) - prevention / public health / nutrition. The groups participating in U-IRIS represent the Faculties of Philosophy and Social Sciences, Medicine, Psychology and Educational Sciences, Motor Sciences, the Solvay Brussels School of Economics and Management, the School of Public Health, the Research Department, ULB-Sports and the Erasme Academic Hospital.

This research project aims to contribute to the analysis of concepts of psychosocial risks as a collective formulation of manifestations of unease in the workplace expressed by employees on a personal and emotional level in terms of stress or harassment. This will involve going beyond individualized, psychological approaches to the phenomenon, and addressing the explanatory factors to be sought within organizational transformation and labour management. This objective approach combined with measurement of psychosocial risk factors is a good starting point for questioning organizational structures and encouraging public and social debate regarding the definition of quality of life in the workplace. The non-profit sector will receive particular attention, for while its foundations are old, there are major changes underway: the process of paying a salary marked by the precarious job market, confrontation of a relatively autonomous profession with the transposition of managerial and market logic, contracting,' In addition the interpersonal aspect of the work, which is one of the aims of social intervention, appears to be a major source of conflict and unease in the workplace. The central theme of this research project therefore relates to changes in workplace organization and social relations, which are characteristics of the non-profit sector, analyzed as a potential source of violence at work.
