Spanish term

ámbito del trabajo

Spanish to English Medical Psychology
Mientras que en El Método el personaje es claramente un psicólogo laboral, en WRZ se trata de una psiquiatra desempeñándose en el área de salud mental del gabinete médico de Aeroparque, lo cual introduce una interesante cuestión respecto de la función diagnóstica en el ámbito del trabajo.

This is part of a series of articles on ethics that analyse films to point out the ethical issues that come up.

Thank you all in advance :)

Thank you ladies, yes, work environment sounds like a good possibility :)
Kate Major Patience Mar 13, 2009:
Perhaps "work environment" might work as a general term then. :)
margaret caulfield Mar 13, 2009:
Hi Kate. I'd say "workplace" is more like the common term "lugar de trabajo", while "ámbito de trabajo" is rather the atmosphere, environment, etc.
Kate Major Patience Mar 13, 2009:
I'm not sure what you mean, but when I was out in the "real" world working in offices& call centres (en plan "El Metodo") instead of holed up with a laptop, we used the term "workplace" to refer to that area of daily life.
Eileen Banks (asker) Mar 13, 2009:
ámbito de trabajo I have a niggling feeling that I must make a difference between 'workplace' and possibly the 'ambit of work' - which would be more encompassing ... not sure.

I would say, in this context, that "workplace" would be the most natural choice.

Over 25 million hits for "in the workplace". See if you can narrow the search down to your context, perhaps, but after a good few years in HR and Planning, this is what I would use, from my experience.

I also got 14,000 hits for "psychology in the workplace", which perhaps moves more towards your context specifically. Google isn´t the be all and end all, but it just demonstrates how common and natural this term would be for this kind of text.

Or "work environment", as above... :)

agree Kathryn Litherland : Yes. I initially thought workplace environment, but workplace is entirely adequate without any loss of meaning. --of course, if you're billing by target word count...
