Abstract

As the service sector’s prominence in the labor force increases, the definition of occupational diseases expands beyond physical ailments to encompass psychological afflictions arising from workplace conditions. This shift in understanding is influenced by legislative criteria shaped by political decisions and public opinion. The World Health Organization’s emphasis on holistic well-being underscores the need to address psychological health in the workplace. Recent cases, such as the suicide of Efe Demir, highlight the detrimental impact of modern work environments on mental health. This paper explores the legal, social, and organizational implications of psychological attrition in the workplace, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to safeguard employee well-being.
