Occupational Health Psychology: European Perspectives on Research, Education and Practice (Vol. 2)

Following the template established in the first volume, the ten chapters, authored by experts in their fields, are divided across the three pillars of Academy activity: research, education and professional practice. Each chapter offers an up-to-date review or empirical data on a discrete topic of current relevance and interest in Europe and beyond; themes include the relationship between overtime and well-being, new perspectives on work-related stress, psychological contracts, healthy organizational change, future challenges in education, changing unhealthy behaviours at work, rehabilitation and work-family balance, among others.

The book will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, educators and students in occupational health psychology and exists as an ideal vehicle for the updating of professional skills and knowledge in the domain.
