Smart performance and perception of well-being: defining categories of contemporary knowledge work

Abstract

Smart Working was created to meet the needs of reconciliation of life and work times and for the effect of the technological revolution. Following the 2020 emergency (from covid-19) smart Working becomes a structural mode in the most disparate working contexts, administrative, educational, management, etc. This change in context and practice has prompted the pedagogical debate to question three key concepts, such as human potential (1) i.e. the ability to self-realize the subject, agile performance (2) that connotes the characteristics of precariousness and flexibility and the perception of well-being (3) within a context of dematerialized work. The purpose of this article is to investigate the resemantization of these three categories through scientific evidence and ongoing reflections on issues to propose a pedagogical model oriented to perceived well-being.
