Rezensionen

This volume stands out in three different ways. First it is a fine collection of papers on issues that really matter in current in occupational health and safety. Second, its excellent contributions are either of high scholarly interest or of practical relevance, or both. And, last but not least, it brings together leading authors from all around the world. In other words, Contemporary Occupational Health Psychology is up-to-date, relevant, and international. As such academic scholars, students and practitioners will benefit from its rich content.
