Contemporary Occupational Health Psychology: Global Perspectives on Research and Practice, Volume 1

"Though, as may be expected, some chapters are stronger as a review than others, this first volume of a series on contemporary OHP by Nottingham University and Wiley-Blackwell is a commendable initiative." (Scandinavian Journal of Work, 2011)

‘With this volume, Houdmont and Leka have made an impressive start to what is likely to be a highly influential research series in the field of occupational health psychology. Both established and emerging topics are covered in a volume that will be of considerable interest to both researchers and practitioners.’
—E. Kevin Kelloway, Ph.D, Canada Research Chair In Occupational Health Psychology

‘This first volume on contemporary occupational health psychology presents a comprehensive coverage of topics which are highly salient to psycho-social health and well-being, along with critical reviews and discussion of the research in this field. Chapters have been written by various scholars, many of whom have widespread international recognition. The book will be a valuable reference source for researchers, practitioners and students of occupational health psychology.’
—Michael P. O’Driscoll, Professor of Psychology, University of Waikato, New Zealand

"The inaugural volume of Contemporary Occupational Health Psychology lives up to its name and goals. The editors should be commended for assembling a collection of chapters that are truly global in scope and address a wide variety of timely issues in the field. As well as academic scholars and graduate students, this new series will interest practitioners who want to keep abreast of advances in OHP that can inform science-based practice. The Society for Occupational Health Psychology is proud to be associated with it, and we look forward to future volumes as the scientific knowledge base of our field continues to develop.’
—Janet Barnes-Farrell, President, Society for Occupational Health Psychology, and Professor of Psychology, University of Connecticut, USA

‘Jonathan Houdmont and Stravroula Leka have done a great job with this book! They have assembled a set of leading scholars who discuss critical occupational health issues in the 21st century workplace. I was particularly impressed with how the book presents state-of-the-art discussions of Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) theory, research, and practice in an accessible format that is perfect for students and professionals who are new to OHP. There is no other book quite like it in the field and I would absolutely use it in one of my classes.’
