In our view, this textbook is most appropriate for graduate students and faculty, particularly given its emphasis on research and future directions for occupational health psychology. Advanced undergraduates, particularly those who have taken a research methods course, will also appreciate the text.\"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e--Gary W. Giumetti and Carrie A. Bulger, Quinnipiac University, Occupational Health Science Journal.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive text for advanced undergraduate and graduate occupational health psychology (OHP) survey courses draws from the domains of psychology, public health, preventive medicine, nursing, industrial engineering, law, and epidemiology to focus on the theory and practice of protecting and promoting the health, well-being, and safety of individuals in the workplace and improving the quality of work life. The book will also appeal to anyone who is concerned with the corrosive effects of job stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe text addresses key psychosocial work issues that are often related to mental and physical health problems, including psychological distress, burnout, depression, accidental injury, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. It examines leadership styles as they impact organizational culture and provides specific recommendations for reducing employee-related stress through improved leader practices. Also addressed is the relationship between adverse psychosocial working conditions and harmful health behaviors, along with interventions aimed at improving the work environment and maximizing effectiveness. Additionally, the book discusses how scientists and practitioners in OHP conduct research and other important concerns such as workplace violence, work \u0026amp; life balance, and safety. The book reinforces learning with key concepts and findings, highlight tables containing intriguing examples of research and current controversies, and chapter summaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKEY FEATURES: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComprises the first comprehensive text on OHP for undergraduate and graduate survey courses\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers key issues in health psychology in the workplace such as stress, violence, work \u0026amp; life balance, and safety\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrganized and written for easy access by students and faculty\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides specific recommendations for reducing employee stress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes key concepts and findings, highlight tables, and end-of-chapter summaries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn Instructors Manual available to qualified adopters to help instructors develop exam and classroom discussion questions or homework assignments for each chapter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Irvin Sam Schonfeld, Chu-Hsiang Chang\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0826199674\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826199676\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer Publishing Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/26\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 376\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.13h x 7.09w x 0.75d","brand":"Irvin Sam Schonfeld","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43986737660159,"sku":"9780826199676","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_161e7ed1-ff59-4558-a529-b9a9e5aceadf.jpg?v=1683284904","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/occupational-health-psychology-irvin-sam-schonfeld-9780826199676","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
