This theoretical-conceptual essay, propositional in nature, connects psychosocial risk management to organizational development through the clinic of occupability. The purpose is to construct and delimit a theoretical model that has not yet undergone empirical validation, treating NR-1 as a regulatory context rather than a basis for legal interpretation. The construction integrates contributions from the psychodynamics of work, the clinic of activity, ergology, the psychosociology of work, and organization development. Its originality lies neither in claiming wholly new elementary concepts nor in offering a ready-to-use methodology, but in a meso-organizational matrix that distinguishes the operational executability of work from its symbolic habitability. The model articulates three analytical layers - normative compliance, symbolic-organizational analysis, and organization development - and five mediations: recognition, authorship, temporality, communities of judgment, and ethical orientation. The layers are not mandatory stages, and the mediations are conceptual hypotheses open to revision. Five prospective propositions and a staged research agenda specify how future studies can examine the model's relevance, interpretive capacity, operationalization, and possible effects.
