Psychological predictors of workplace well- being and productivity in the engineering sector

该项目将考虑影响劳动力健康、福祉和生产力的心理预测因素。初始阶段将包括准备一篇可发表的文献综述论文，重点是开发一个可测试的模型，该模型随后将成为实证研究的重点。该项目将在健康的背景下借鉴行为科学和行为改变理论（可能侧重于生活方式和工作压力）。这些因素的影响，以及随后的干预措施，对个人对其角色的参与和随之而来的工作绩效将是主要的焦点。研究可能会同时关注定性和定量方法。系统回顾或荟萃分析将是最初的重点，以及一系列访谈和实验研究。最后一个要素很可能是一项针对性干预的小规模试验。

This project will consider psychological predictors that influence workforce health, wellbeing and productivity. The initial phase will involve preparation of a publishable literature review paper, focused on developing a testable model that will subsequently be the focus of the empirical studies. The project will draw on behavioural science and behaviour change theories in the context of wellbeing (likely to be focussed on lifestyle and work-related stress). The impact of these factors, and subsequent interventions, on an individual's engagement with their role and consequent job performance will be the primary focus.The research is likely to focus on both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Systematic review or meta-analysis will be the initial focus, as well as a range of interview and experimental studies. The final element is likely to be a small scale trial of a targeted intervention.
