The book explores how context and process can be incorporated into program evaluation providing examples of how this can be done and offers insights that aim to improve working life. </p><p>Although there is a substantial body of research supporting a causal relationship between working conditions and employee stress and well-being information on how to develop effective strategies to reduce or eliminate psychosocial risks in the workplace is much more scarce ambiguous and inconclusive.

The focus of this volume will help to overcome this qualitative-quantitative divide. </p><p>This book discusses conceptual developments practical applications and methodological issues in the field. As such it is suitable for students practitioners and researchers in the fields of organizational psychology and clinical psychology as well as human resources management health & safety medicine occupational health risk management and public health.</p>
