"This volume provides an integration of multiple perspectives on occupational health and safety, primarily from an occupational health psychology view, attending to issues at the individual, job, group/team, organizational, and societal level. Further, the contributions to the volume provide a science and practice perspective." Lois E. Tetrick, PhD, Professor of Psychology, George Mason University, USA

This authoritative Wiley Blackwell Handbook of Organizational Psychology examines occupational safety and workplace health. The editors have drawn on their collective experience in collating thematically structured material from leading thinkers and practitioners in the USA, Europe, and Asia Pacific.

Coinciding with growing international interest in the applications of psychology to organizations, the work offers a unique depth of analysis from an explicitly psychological perspective. Each chapter includes a detailed literature review that offers academics, researchers, scientist-practitioners, and students an invaluable frame of reference. Coverage is built around competencies set forth by regulatory agencies and includes organizational climate and culture, safety leadership, work-related stress, workplace bullying, workplace health promotion, and employee proactivity.
