This is one of the most thorough and comprehensive studies of
workplace stress among university staff ever undertaken. The
authors of this book have done a great service to higher education
throughout the world by their systematic research and insights. On
behalf of the academic community at large, I would like to thank
the authors of this remarkable book. -- Cary L. Cooper, Ph.D., CBE
Pro Vice Chancellor (External Relations) and Professor of
Organizational Psychology and Health at Lancaster University, A
variety of changes to academic working conditions have resulted in
an increase in occupational stress and a decrease in occupational
wellbeing among university academics as well as nonacademic, or
general, staff. This book releases for the first time the complete
results of the Australian University Staff Stress (AUSS) Project,
which examined over a number of years the level, extent, and
antecedents of occupational stress experienced by staff, and the
consequences on individuals and universities.
This outstanding book provides a rare insight into
ground-breaking comprehensive research from Europe, Australia, Asia
and the United States on the health impact of unemployment on the
individual and the community. Featuring authors from across the
fields of psychology, medicine, economics, sociology, occupational
health and organisational development, Unemployment and Health
outlines current theory and findings about the factors responsible
for the generally detrimental health effects of being out of work
or in unstable employment. This book is a vital resource for
policy-makers, social workers, educators, researchers, students and
anyone with an interest in the global effects of unemployment on
the human condition.
Unemployment and Health is based on presentations by leading
researchers at the Second International Expert Conference organised
by the Scientific Committee Unemployment and Health of the
International Commission on Occupational Health (ICOH) on
'Occupational Transitions: Unemployment, Underemployment and
Health', held in Adelaide, Australia in December 2001. The
activities of this body bring together researchers working
specifically on occupational health issues related to employment
with those focusing on the health effects of being out of work in a
society centred on paid employment. Thus the ICOH Scientific
Committee tries to bridge these two areas that are traditionally
separated and to reduce the gap between unemployment research and
occupational health. The Adelaide conference was the second
international conference. The first one, held in Paris in 1998,
focused on interventions with unemployed people. Additional
contributions have been invited from other leading researchers who
were unable to attend the conference.
