Essentials of Occupational Health Psychology

"This book by two experienced researchers and interventionists successfully balances academic research with practical advice about how to best assure the health and safety of employees. It provides comprehensive coverage of the major workplace hazards, their effects on individuals and organizations, and how best to manage them to minimize harm." Paul Spector, University of South Florida, USA "This book provides a thorough, yet concise introduction to the field of Occupational Health Psychology. The writing is approachable, the twelve chapters are well-organized, and the authors clearly connect OHP research and practice to the real-world complexity of the workplace." Carrie A. Bulger, Quinnipiac University, USA "Essentials of OHP takes this broadly relevant area of psychology out of its typically-academic confines and makes it accessible to those who work in real-world organizational settings. This well-organized volume will serve as an excellent primer for both students and practitioners interested in promoting worker health, safety, and well-being." David W.
