Since the pandemic, several labour market sectors have reported suffering due to the inability to find staff. The causes of this distress have been attributed to various factors, including the demographic crisis, the mismatch between available and required skills and the ineffectiveness of migration policies. Seldom mentioned in these analyses are disaffection to work and the ‘supply crisis’, as Seghezzi and Sala (2024) have defined it. Reviewing the literature and institutional data on work in the post-pandemic phase, this article finds disaffection to be central to understanding today's crisis. Its thesis is that the analysis of this category, and the overcoming of its lacking in the literature, is necessary in order to trace the causes and potential solutions of the current labour shortage within the organisation of work.
Keywords: large resignations; staff shortage; disaffection; supply crisis
