Introduction: Organizational Psychology and Occupational Safety
摘要
Burke discusses why a focus on behavioral research and practice insights from organizational psychology and related disciplines can assist in achieving sustainable development goals associated with working safely. In doing so, he draws attention to the rich 125-year history of organizational psychology research and practice and how these efforts have contributed to improving occupational safety. Burke also highlights current efforts of organizational psychologists toward advancing work on the United Nations sustainable development goals regarding worker safety, health, and well-being. Importantly, he discusses where these efforts can be improved, arguing why greater attention could be given to safety leadership, establishing safe working environments, and conducting safety and health training globally.
