Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Psychosocial risks and psychological well-being are undergoing profound transformations due to the rapid evolution of workplaces, the diffusion of digital environments, and the rise of hybrid forms of interaction. These changes require rigorous measurement and advanced methodological approaches capable of capturing emerging risks such as techno-stress, cyberbullying, online safety concerns, and new patterns of strain and engagement across organizational and community settings.
This Special Issue places methodological innovation at its core. We particularly welcome contributions focusing on the development, validation, or cross-cultural adaptation of instruments designed to assess well-being, psychosocial risk, resilience, engagement, online safety, or organizational climate. Studies employing advanced psychometric models, modern analytical techniques, and multi-group or cross-cultural validation frameworks are especially encouraged. Through interdisciplinary dialogue, this Special Issue aims to provide evidence-based frameworks that can inform both organizational policies and public health interventions. Particular attention is given to manuscripts explicitly addressing the implications of psychosocial risks for population well-being, prevention strategies, and policy design. By advancing robust measurement tools and analytical approaches, this Special Issue contributes to promoting healthier, safer, and more sustainable workplaces and communities, in line with the mission of IJERPH.
