DESCRIPTION: Seminar Title: Inclusive Workplace Participation of People in 
 Vulnerable Situations - A Biopsychosocial and Capability Perspective \n\n 
 Abstract: Workplace participation of people in vulnerable situations\, suc
 h as those living with chronic illness\, mental health challenges\, or uns
 table employment trajectories\, is often framed as a problem of individual
  deficits or labour market integration. This seminar proposes an alternati
 ve perspective: inclusive participation should be understood as a biopsych
 osocial process shaped by the interaction between health\, psychological e
 xperiences at work\, and organizational context. \n\n Building on the Job 
 Demands–Resources (JD-R) model and Self-Determination Theory (SDT)\, I e
 xamine how job design\, resource distribution\, and the satisfaction of ba
 sic psychological needs (autonomy\, competence\, relatedness) influence we
 llbeing at work and sustainable participation. However\, organizational re
 sources and supportive practices do not automatically translate into meani
 ngful opportunities for individuals. To address this gap\, the seminar int
 roduces the Capability Approach as a normative and evaluative framework th
 at shifts attention from the provision of resources to individuals’ real
  opportunities to achieve valued forms of work participation. From this pe
 rspective\, means are not the same as opportunities\, and equal treatment 
 does not necessarily produce equal chances. \n\n This seminar illustrates 
 this perspective through research on return-to-work and recovery among wor
 kers with cancer\, physical injury and\, mental health conditions\, as wel
 l as examining how healthcare professionals can remain healthy and engaged
  in demanding work environments. These projects highlight how work capabil
 ities mediate the relation between organizational resources and outcomes s
 uch as work engagement\, wellbeing\, and sustainable participation. \n\n T
 he seminar concludes by discussing implications for organizational and occ
 upational health research. In particular\, it argues for greater use of mu
 lti-level and longitudinal research designs\, capability-sensitive measure
 ment approaches\, and transdisciplinary collaboration between management s
 cholars\, occupational health researchers\, and practitioners. Rather than
  focusing on “fixing” vulnerable workers\, this perspective calls for 
 research that contributes to redesigning organizations in ways that expand
  human capability and enable sustainable participation over time. \n\n Bio

 onal medicine on the topic of work and health. She currently works as an e
 ndowed professor at Tilburg University\, The Netherlands and holds the cha

 h as cancer\, physical injury and\, mental health problems. In addition\,

 t work\, particularly among healthcare professionals. Margot is also inter
 ested in implementation research\, mixed-method design and knowledge trans
 fer and exchange. \n\n Note: Tea\, coffee\, and sandwiches will be provide
