- Wellbeing: A Complete Reference Guide is the first multi-volume, interdisciplinary exploration of the topic of wellbeing. The notion of wellbeing has grown in importance and prominence across the globe in recent years and this reference work provides an in-depth examination of the characteristics that enable individuals and organizations to thrive and flourish. Under the direction of noted academic Cary Cooper, and edited by a distinguished group of senior scholars from a variety of disciplines, this project looks at wellbeing from multiple perspectives, including children and families; the workplace; the environment; later life; economics; and interventions and public policy. Spanning the social sciences and encompassing the latest research, this is an essential reference for scholars, students, professionals, and policymakers who want to enhance and promote human wellbeing. Wellbeing in the Workplace explores a variety of issues in the workplace, from the sources of workplace stress to positive psychology aspects of work. Its scope includes issues at the organizational, managerial, and individual level, including characteristics of workplaces and organizational strategies that are conducive to wellbeing; work-life balance issues; the coping strategies and characters of individuals, and role of government to strengthen wellbeing in a modern society. Chapter authors are international experts in the field, and each contribution reviews the evidence base and discusses the implications for theory and practice in the field of workplace wellbeing.
