(person-organization fit). When guided by this guideline at work,
smaller ethical dilemmas can be expected since the psychologists
will act in the best interest of both the individual as well as the
organisation. The authors also point out the importance of sharing
situations that present a challenge to psychologists and, together
with the others, to find examples of good practices that help them
in their everyday work and behaviour.

Ethical Content in the Work of a Psychologist
in Occupational Medicine, Transport and Sports

Abstract
The work of a psychologist in the field of occupational health
protection, which includes activities in the area of occupational,
traffic and sports medicine, focuses on identifying and providing
appropriate behaviours that protect the health of the employee,
colleagues, environment and user. It is crucial to participate in the
risk assessment process, which includes identifying requirements
and burdens in the workplace and the psychological evaluation of
the individual, their functioning and ability to behave effectively
and safely. The legislation lays down framework regulations. In
the process of work, the psychologist is left with a professional
assessment of the individual’s functioning in such a way as to
enable the protection of their health and the provision of safety.
There may be a gap between the individual’s current interest and the
psychologist’s realistic assessment of the individual’s functioning.
An impeccable professional evaluation of the individual’s
function in the assessment process is essential. The review
must be done objectively, considering the diagnostic procedures
and the psychological evaluation. Professional performance of
the psychological examination and assessment of the function
prevents the creation of moral debt due to a possible gap between
the wishes of the person under review and the professional
judgment of the psychologist conducting the evaluation.
