Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am writing to draw your attention to an emerging and critical area of research on occupational health, specifically occupational stress, focusing on support, coping, and control. As we navigate the complexities of modern work environments, such as teleworking, occupational stress readily impacts workers’ mental and physical health. Researchers must explore this matter further and develop evidence-based strategies and interventions to enhance worker well-being.
Support systems, coping mechanisms, and a sense of control are vital components in mitigating occupational stress. However, a gap remains in our understanding of how these elements interact and influence workers’ health and productivity. Our investigations can uncover insights that will lead to better support structures, healthier coping strategies, and improved control of work-related stressors.
Our collective work can pave the way for more resilient and motivated workforces, ultimately improving workers’ job satisfaction and quality of life. This Special Issue aims to further the field of occupational health by examining the complex factors involved in occupational stress, such as support, coping mechanisms, and control.
Your contributions are welcome, and I look forward to your submissions.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Behdin Nowrouzi-Kia
Guest Editor
