The Routledge Companion to Wellbeing at Work cover

Over recent years, many companies have developed an awareness of the importance of an active, rather than passive, approach to wellbeing at work. Whilst the value of this approach is widely accepted, turning theory into effective practice is still a challenge for many companies.

The Routledge Companion to Wellbeing at Work is a comprehensive reference volume addressing every aspect of the topic. Split into five parts, it explores different models of wellbeing; personal qualities contributing to wellbeing; job insecurity and organizational wellbeing; workplace supports for wellbeing; and initiatives to enhance wellbeing. The international team of contributors provide a solid foundation to research and practice, including contemporary topics such as architecture, coaching, and fitness in the workplace.

Edited by two of the world’s leading scholars on the subject, this text is a valuable tool for researchers, students, and practitioners in HRM and organizational psychology.

"This volume is edited by two leading figures in research on occupational health and well-being and contains contributions from major scholars in this field. The coverage of topics is comprehensive and well organized. The volume will be a major asset to researchers and practitioners in psychology and management."
Michael O’Driscoll, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Waikato, New Zealand

"Cooper and Leiter lead outstanding teams of international scholars on the cutting edge of wellbeing at work. This five section volume delivers powerful content addressing the positive sides of the individual, the workplace, and the mechanisms for enhancing wellbeing."
James Campbell Quick, Endowed Chair, Goolsby Leadership Academy, The University of Texas at Arlington, USA

"Cooper and Leiter’s Companion provides a timely insight into the broad spectrum of research on physical and mental wellbeing at work. This is a unique and much-needed publication for scholars, students, and practitioners interested in ensuring employee health and fulfilment."
Krystal Wilkinson, Senior Lecturer, Business School, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK

"Work can cause, contribute to, or trigger disease, and very often does so (pathogenesis). But it can also be a powerful promotor of health and wellbeing (salutogenesis). Much of the outcome depends on our working and living conditions. Two eminent scientists in this field, Cary L. Cooper and Michael Leiter, focus on both of these two aspects in this new, highly knowledgeable and extremely relevant volume."
Lennart Levi, Emeritus Professor of Psychosocial Medicine, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden

"This Companion provides an informative and up-to-date collection of articles by highly regarded scholars and practitioners regarding the nature, causes, and consequences of workplace wellbeing (and ill-being). Importantly, a range of practical interventions at the employee and organizational level are provided, making it a valuable resource for students, practitioners, and scholars."
Ashlea Troth, Associate Professor, Griffith Business School, Griffith University, Australia
