• Description:
  With its applied focus on employee and organisational well-being, work and organisational health psychology (WOHP) has progressively been established as a discipline (e.g. Tetrick & Quick, 2011). The field of WOHP has shifted over the decades, from one that is mainly focused on averting sickness and injuries to one that promotes human flourishing and organisational well-being (Peiro & Tetrick, 2011). WOHP scholars contribute to the field of psychology by examining ways to understand, protect, and promote the safety, health, and overall well-being of workers and, consequently, bring about positive outcomes for the organisations. WOHP scholars are uniquely positioned at the intersection of theory and practice. The communitys passion and enthusiasm regarding various issues on employee well-being and organisational functioning have sparked numerous efforts at literature reviews and meta-analytic works published in top journals (e.g. Allen, Golden, & Shockley, 2015; Hershcovis et al., 2007; Ng & Feldman, 2012; Nohe, Meier, Sonntag, & Michel, 2015; Yang, Caughlin, Gazica, Truxillo, & Spector, 2014). These works have developed several frameworks for guiding research on WOHP and this special issue does not intend to repeat the suggestions made previously. [Description provided by NIOSH]
