“Attention to methodological rigor continues to be an important key
to successful Occupational Health Psychology research funding,
publishing and the continued growth of the field. This book on OHP
research methodology is both significant and timely. While focusing
primarily on the core methodological issues that arise in
traditional OHP research, the book provides the reader with an
exposure to the benefits of the methodologies utilized in more
mainstream occupational health and stress research. This volume is
an excellent source of state-of-the-art information .” From the
foreword by Joseph J. Hurrell, Editor, Journal of Occupational
Health Psychology"This is a both timely and important book that
marks the development of occupational health psychology as a major
branch of organizational psychology. Whereas the methods and
approaches used in occupational health psychology have often been
developed and refined in related disciplines such as sociology,
clinical psychology, epidemiology, ergonomics and safety science,
to date no single volume presents a virtually complete overview of
these methods as applied to occupational health psychology.
Moreover, the fact that the chapters of this book were all written
by authors with very considerable expertise in applied research in
OHP ensures that this book has a strong practical orientation - the
methods discussed here have proved to be extremely useful in this
discipline. That is, these approaches work - and this volume tells
the reader how to take advantage of them. I would strongly
recommend this book to anyone interested in doing research in
occupational health psychology." - Toon W. Taris, Department of
Work and Organizational Psychology, Utrecht University, The
Netherlands"In this book, Sinclair, Wang, and Tetrick bring
together an amazing array of well accomplished scholars in the
areas of organizational health psychology (OHP), measurement,
research design, and statistics. The authors examine measurement
issues regarding psychological as well as physiological aspects of
OHP. Further, the authors in this volume examine a number of
research designs, sampling methods, and statistical techniques that
are critical to the advancement of OHP. This volume is a “must
read” for anyone doing research in the field of occupational
stress, health and well being." - Pamela L. Perrewe, College of
Business, The Florida State University "This book about Research
Methods in Occupational Health Psychology includes a set of
interesting and important chapters written by experts in our field.
The book is timely since we see that OHP is rapidly increasing in
popularity. Our field will definitely profit from this book,
outlining the basics regarding the design and execution of research
regarding important occupational health psychology phenomena." -
Arnold B. Bakker, Ph.D., Erasmus University Rotterdam, President of
the European Association of Work & Organizational Psychology, The
Netherlands"How great to see this timely book! With the field of
occupational health psychology growing in size and complexity, now
is the perfect moment to pause and reflect on our methodological
approaches. Edited by eminent scholars, this book covers the
fundamental topics we would hope to see in a volume such as this,
as well as an expanded set of topics from related disciplines. When
it comes to research methods it is sometimes hard to see the trees
in the forest, but this book admirably provides clear and
insighftul recommendations to guide measurement, design, and
analytic choices. It will be invaluable to those conducting
original research, those who commission research, and those who
seek to understand practical implications from research. This book
is a perfect blend of rigour and relevance." - Sharon K. Parker,
Ph.D., UWA Business School, The University of Western
Australia"This book provides a useful resource on research methods
in occupational health psychology (OHP). The book gives a balanced
discussion and contemporary perspectives on research methods. One
strength of this book is that is does not repeat the overview
available in generic research methods textbooks, but rather
considers the application to OHP. Overall, the book is a useful
reference for those carrying out or reviewing research in areas of
OHP." -British Journal of Occupational Therapy
