Scarlett Salman is an Associate Professor in Sociology at Paris-East University. Her research focuses on the uses of psychology in organizations and on work transformations, with a focus on leadership in capitalism, managerial professions and consulting. She studied the genesis, the professionalization and the uses of executive coaching (a book is to be published at Les Presses de Sciences Po). She also analyzed the category of “suffering at work” and its dissemination among occupational physicians. Her on-going research deals with the issue of stress at work, through three dimensions: 1) The genealogy of this issue; 2) The corporate policies promoting well-being within large firms; 3) The expertise on stress at work, its devices and its market.
