Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) is the scientific discipline dedicated to understanding how the characteristics of work and the work environment, and their interplay with the macro-level social, economic, political, technological and ecological context, determine workers’ health, safety and wellbeing, and therefore organisational and societal prosperity and sustainability.This edited textbook, the first official volume published by the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology (EAOHP), provides an up-to-date introduction to the dynamic field of OHP in Europe and beyond. By synthesising theory, research, policy and practice, it aims to establish a common foundation of knowledge for students, researchers and practitioners, supporting the standardisation of OHP education, and seeks to stimulate further research by highlighting gaps in understanding and identifying areas for future investigation.Every chapter is authored by experts in their respective fields who provide a balanced perspective across three essential pillars of (i) research; (ii) practice; and (iii) policy. In doing so, the textbook seeks to equip readers with the theoretical knowledge and understanding of how to translate that evidence into persuasive rationales for organisational and societal change.Edited by Kevin Teoh, Despoina Xanthopoulou, Juliet Hassard, Daniel Ripa, and Silvia Agostinho Silva.
