In today's changing business environment, the financial health of
an organization is increasingly dependent on the extent to which it
and its members are able to transform and adapt to these changing
internal and external circumstances more effectively than their
competitors. Health has been identified as a key driver of
socio-economic progress internationally, emphasizing the link
between the health of individual workers and the overall
performance of an organization. Equally, decades of research has
highlighted the major role that work plays in determining physical
health and psychological well being.
This handbook focuses on organizational well being in its widest
sense, and is concerned with reviewing the factors which are
associated with ill health, as well as those which promote positive
health and well being. In it, leading international scholars focus
on the key issues:
* Absenteeism and presenteeism
* Health and safety,
* Models, measures, and methodologies for measuring well being,
* Individual factors associated with well being such as
leadership, emotion, stress, and risk and rewards,
* Organizational factors associated with well being such as
working hours, emotional labour, technology, and job insecurity,
* Organizational strategies for improving individual well being.
The handbook ends with two chapters setting out new perspectives -
the link between well being and geography and climate, and the
importance of corporate social responsibility in creating a
sustainable and healthy work environment.
