Rezensionen

The topic of wellbeing at work has been discussed by many authors for a long time. Depending on the organizational context there are multiple approaches to studying wellbeing. One of the most relevant aspects is the relationship between worker's performance and physical and mental health. Congratulations to editors and authors for this brilliant work that explores wellbeing with broad and current approaches!

At a time when organizations face unavoidable disruptions it is essential a better and comprehensive understanding of wellbeing in the workplace. This book provides a collection of innovative perspectives from around the world to understand and implement solutions to improve the wellbeing of people.

Jacobo Ramirez, Assistant Professor in Latin American Business Development, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark

The social construction of wellbeing at work is being challenged by new cohorts of workers whose values and priorities are shaped by historical social and economic global events quite different from previous generations. This book helps organizations understand those differences, how to build workplace environments and cultures that support these new generational paradigms and can include their best and brightest.

Josephine McMurray, Assistant Professor, Lazaridis School of Business & Economics, Wilfrid Laurier University, Canada

There are two important roles of management in society: to create innovations and new products that satisfy societal needs, and to manage and nurture healthy organizations that promote the wellbeing of collaborators. This book is a very timely and solid contribution to this discussion, both for educators and decision makers.
