"This edited book is an authoritative and in-depth examination of the relationship between well-being and job performance. It will integrate research on these two issues, which are still seen by some readers as contrasting concepts. The meaning and value of well-being is a critical issue as it crosses cultures, socio-economic classes, and organizational levels. It has implications at the individual, work group, organization, and society level. The examination considers the personal and corporate costs and benefits of well-being and how to improve well-being and organizational performance. The chapter authors are the major scholars in their fields who provide a solid understanding of underlying theory as well as behavioural, job and organization design, and policy interventions to improve quality of life and work performance"--Publisher. "Organizational psychology has been interested in the well-being and performance of people at work for over a century, but our knowledge about both issues, and how they relate to each other, is still evolving. This important new collection provides new understandings on what it means to work productively while also feeling happy and fulfilled. Including contributions from a range of international experts, the book begins with a conceptual framework for understanding both concepts, before showing how a variety of different contexts, both organizational and personal, impact upon well-being and performance. The book includes chapters on specific job roles, from creative work to service positions, as well as the importance of HR policies and how the individual worker can determine their own well-being. Also featuring a chapter on researching this fascinating area, Well-being and Performance at Work will be essential reading for all students and researchers of organizational or occupational psychology, HRM and business and management. It is also hugely relevant for any professionals interested in the productivity and well-being of their organizations"--Publisher. Work Psychological aspects. Well being Psychological aspects.
