Occupational Health Challenges: Mapping Psychosocial Factors Driving Healthy Organizations

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, the study of occupational health has gained critical relevance within organizations, due to the growing body of evidence suggesting that psychosocial factors play a pivotal role in workers' health and well-being. Globalization, technological advances, and changes in the structure of work have generated new demands that affect both the work environment and talent management. In this context, new types of organizations are emerging. In light of these challenges, there is a need to understand how psychosocial factors influence individual and collective well-being within organizations and how they can be managed to contribute to the creation of healthy and productive work environments.

This Special Issue, titled "Occupational Health Challenges: Mapping Psychosocial Factors Driving Healthy Organizations", aims to deepen our understanding of contemporary challenges by providing a platform for the comprehension, analysis, and dissemination of research findings in the organizational field. Although it has been demonstrated that well-being within organizations leads to benefits for workers' physical and mental health, as well as for performance and productivity, many questions remain unanswered.

Topics covered in this Special Issue include workplace stress, work–family balance, participation in decision-making within the organization, organizational justice, burnout, engagement, interpersonal and group relationships at work, diversity, telework and mental health, among others.

From an interdisciplinary perspective, this Special Issue is envisioned as a meeting ground for psychologists, sociologists, occupational health specialists, human resource management researchers, and other professionals interested in the study of organizational well-being. The invitation to contribute to this Special Issue seeks to promote a deep and critical reflection on how psychosocial factors can be addressed from different theoretical and methodological approaches, and how evidence-based interventions can contribute to the construction of healthier organizations.

Therefore, we invite researchers, academics, and professionals in related fields to submit their original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses that offer new perspectives and solutions to the psychosocial challenges in the workplace.
