Summary
The modern history of research on employee health and well-being is traced from its origins in the UK during World War I, focused on employee fatigue, through the beginning of occupational stress research in Scandinavia in the 1960s, to the advent of occupational health psychology globally at the end of the twentieth century. Major milestones in both Europe and North America are discussed, including development of sociotechnical systems theory, contributions by the Institute for Social Research, the Demand-Control Model, the Job Demand-Resource Theory, and research on a variety of organizational climates that support health and safety. Advice is provided to practitioners about best practices for building healthy organizations that maximize both efficiency and health, including building a general safety climate, hiring the right people, developing employees, and providing effective leadership.
