This five section volume delivers powerful content addressing the positive sides of the individual, the workplace, and the mechanisms for enhancing wellbeing." –James Campbell Quick, Endowed Chair, Goolsby Leadership Academy, The University of Texas at Arlington, USA"Cooper and Leiter’s Companion provides a timely insight into the broad spectrum of research on physical and mental wellbeing at work. This is a unique and much-needed publication for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in ensuring employee health and fulfilment." –Krystal Wilkinson, Senior Lecturer, Business School, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK"Work can cause, contribute to, or trigger disease, and very often does so (pathogenesis). But it can also be a powerful promotor of health and wellbeing (salutogenesis). Much of the outcome depends on our working and living conditions. Two eminent scientists in this field, Cary L. Cooper and Michael Leiter, focus on both of these two aspects in this new, highly knowledgeable and extremely relevant volume." –Lennart Levi, Emeritus Professor of Psychosocial Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden"This Companion provides an informative and up-to-date collection of articles by highly regarded scholars and practitioners regarding the nature, causes, and consequences of workplace wellbeing (and ill-being). Importantly, a range of practical interventions at the employee and organizational level are provided, making it a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and scholars." –Ashlea Troth, Associate Professor, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Australia
