Occupational health psychology (OHP) involves the application of
psychology to improving the quality of work life and to promoting
and protecting the safety, health and well-being of employees.
Achieving these aims requires researchers and practitioners to
possess in-depth knowledge of the processes that are presumed to
bring about the desired outcomes. To date, most studies in OHP have
relied on cross-sectional designs in examining these processes. In
such designs all variables of interest are measured simultaneously.
Although this has generated useful insights in how particular
phenomena are associated, such designs cannot be trusted when it
comes to drawing causal inferences: association is not causation.
This book therefore focuses on longitudinal research designs in
OHP, whereby the concepts of interest are measured several times,
offering much stronger evidence for causal relationships. The
authors focus on design issues in longitudinal research (such as
the number of measurements chosen, and the length of the time lags
between these measurements), and illustrate these issues in the
context of applied research on topics such as the work-family
interface, conflict at work, and employee well-being. By doing so
this volume provides a state-of-the-art overview of current
research in OHP, both in terms of its findings and methodologies.
This book is based on a special issue of the journal Work &
Stress.
