Occupational Health Psychology
Description
Book Introduction
『Occupational Health Psychology』 is a book that introduces the interdisciplinary academic field of occupational health psychology (OHP).
Beyond simply introducing basic concepts and existing theories, it systematically establishes them and elaborates a theoretical framework that can be applied to actual organizational and individual problems.
This book presents in-depth theoretical exploration and empirical data analysis focusing on OHP's core topics: 'Person-Environment Fit (PE Fit),' 'Job Burnout and Job Enthusiasm,' 'Work-Family Balance,' and 'Recovery from Job Stress.' Each topic is organically linked to conceptual organization, theoretical background, major domestic and international research results, and practical implications.
This structure, which simultaneously considers theoretical complexity and practical needs, provides great insights to both researchers and practitioners.

Publisher's Review
A convergent discipline that promotes the mutual prosperity of individuals and organizations.
The Past, Present, and Future of Occupational Health Psychology
Occupational health psychology is a branch of applied psychology that applies the principles and theories of basic psychology to organizations. Its primary goal is to scientifically study the human mind and behavior, utilize the research results in practice, and ultimately bring about positive changes in the workplace.
Specifically, it can be said to be an academic field that enables individuals and organizations to coexist by making the workplace a safer and healthier place to prevent injuries and illnesses and helping people within it live happier and more productive lives.
This is a field that began to receive full-scale research in the 20th century as industrial and organizational psychology began to establish itself as an independent discipline.
The rapid change, uncertainty, and intensifying competition faced by modern workers pose a long-term threat not only to individuals' mental health but also to the sustainability of their organizations.
While a new perspective encompassing the health of both individuals and organizations is needed, there are not many books in Korea that specialize in occupational health psychology. Therefore, this book, "Occupational Health Psychology," can be seen as a book that sets a benchmark for the field of occupational health psychology in Korea.
"Occupational Health Psychology" introduces existing occupational health psychology theories, reinterprets them within the context of today's Korean society and workplace, and even adds specific suggestions for future research.
This book, which combines theoretical completeness with practical utility, provides profound insights for both academia and practice.
Four topics with important practical implications:
An Introduction to Occupational Health Psychology
The contents of this book are divided into six parts.
Part 1 explains the past and present of occupational health psychology and key terminology.
From Part 2 to Part 5, the main research topics were set as ‘person-environment fit’, ‘job burnout and job enthusiasm’, ‘work-family balance’, and ‘recovery from job stress’ in that order.
Each section explores the topic in depth, with the first chapter summarizing key concepts and introducing theoretical models, the second chapter summarizing domestic and international research results and explaining related variables, and the third chapter describing the implications of the research and intervention methods.
Part 6 introduces topics not covered in the main text and explains the prospects for occupational health psychology and related career paths.
"Occupational Health Psychology" explores important topics of great social interest and key concepts that form an academic foundation.
Although not overly lengthy, this book, with its consistent narrative structure and rich bibliography, will be of great help to both those seeking to enter the field of occupational health psychology and researchers seeking to deepen their research.
Furthermore, the practical interventions the author proposes, tailored to the realities of Korea, are expected to provide practical assistance to managers and practitioners concerned about worker well-being and organizational sustainability in the workplace.
