The contribution of occupational health psychology to individual, organizational and public health
The European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology in collaboration with the Division of Public and Organizational Health (POH) of the University of Zurich and the ETH Zurich would like to invite you to the 'Cultural Capital of Switzerland', Zurich, to attend the 10th conference of the European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology. The event will take place 11 -13 April, 2012, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology - ETH Zurich
In our complex, fast changing service and knowledge society, health is strongly influenced by the continuously changing interaction between organizations and their employees. Occupational health psychology aims to improve this interaction and thus can simultaneously contribute to individual, organizational and public health. The conference will address how to balance interventions and outcomes on these levels and thus how to increase equal health opportunities in our society.
Keynote speakers. The programme will include a distinguished line-up of keynote speakers: Wilmar Schaufeli, University of Utrecht, Georg Bauer, ETH Zurich/University of Zürich, Switzerland. Sabine Guerts, Radboud University Nijmegen and Michael Marmot, University College London.
The conference programme is available at:

Georg Bauer, Conference Chair Tom Cox, President, EAOHP
My interest in OHP has a long history. As far back as
the 1980s, during my medical studies, I observed
social inequalities amongst hospital patients, with
people who were more socially disadvantaged tending
to be more vulnerable to ill-health, and more severely
affected. This triggered my interest in socio-ecological
determinants of health and preventive medicine.
During an internship in occupational medicine I saw a
broad range of workplaces and working conditions,
some of them so poorly designed that I felt compelled
to work in the area of illness prevention and health
promotion, particularly in the workplace. As I did
parts of my medical education in five different
countries, I also had first-hand experience of how
strongly national and organizational cultures influence
the quality of one’s own working life.
After I had spent some years at the Institute of Social
and Preventive Medicine at the University of Zürich, I
had the opportunity to undertake a Masters and
Doctoral programme in Community Health Sciences at
the School of Public Health, University of California,
Berkeley, from 1993 to 1998. This social science-
based programme addressed how health develops
through the continuous interaction with diverse life
domains, including schools, workplaces, family and
neighbourhoods. I was intrigued by social-
epidemiological studies that identified specific
psychosocial determinants of inequalities of health in
modern societies. But I was particularly influenced by
Aaron Antonovsky’s salutogenic perspective of health,
and how this perspective leads to a more asset-,
strengths- and resource-oriented approach to
studying and intervening in health in real-life
contexts. Further, the Community Health Sciences
Interview
Georg Bauer
Programme conveyed how to design, implement and
evaluate complex, participatory interventions in
complex social systems, such as organizations.
Through active involvement in the service-oriented
Labor Occupational Health Programme and in ongoing
studies of public transport workers at the School of
Public Health, Berkeley, I could immediately apply
this knowledge to the working environment. My final
step into OHP was through my attendance at the third
APA/NIOSH Work, Stress and Health Conference in
Washington DC in 1995, which led to my first,
inspiring, personal contacts with key researchers in
the then emerging field. Alongside my continuing
engagement in the health promotion community and
the Global Working Group on Salutogenesis, OHP has
increasingly become my scientific home discipline
over the last decade.
What are your current activities and in which
area of OHP are you most interested?
Given my interdisciplinary background, I am primarily
interested in enhancing public health through
improvements in the working environment. First, this
requires a more comprehensive conceptualization of
health, which includes physical health (the main focus
of occupational medicine and ergonomics), mental
health (the main focus of OHP), and social health. The
latter has, until now, been little addressed in the
context of the work environment, except for the
negative manifestation of mobbing and bullying.
Second, a public health agenda needs to identify how
health, and particularly determinants of health, are
distributed in the working population and within
organizations, in order to set evidence-based
priorities for interventions. Third, intervention
approaches need to be developed that are effective in
Georg Bauer is Head of the Division of Public and Organizational Health (POH) a joint venture between the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (University of Zürich) and the Centre for Organizational and Occupational Science (ETH Zürich). He is
Chair of the forthcoming tenth conference of the EAOHP in Zürich. In this interview he discusses how he came to work in the field of occupational health psychology, his research, and some
ideas for the future development of the discipline.

the ‘real world’, are adopted by companies, reach
employees with particular health needs, are easily
implemented, and result in long-term effects: see RE-
AIM (Reach Effectiveness Adoption Implementation
Maintenance) criteria on http://www.re-aim.org). In
relation to the last point, it is particularly important
for organizations to build the capacity to address
health issues on their own, as the fast changing world
of work limits the effectiveness of institutionalized
occupational health expert systems. On the one hand,
these practical public health requirements structure
the research agenda of our Division. On the other
hand, we aim to implement this agenda on a sound
theoretical and empirical basis, which can contribute
to advancing OHP and related fields.
How did your Division evolve and who are the
leading researchers?
Upon my return from Berkeley to Zürich in 1998, I
built up a collaboration with the Chair of Work and
Organizational Psychology at the Swiss Federal
Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich. Out of that
informal partnership, in 2006 the Division of Public
and Organizational Health (POH) was founded as a
collaboration between the Institute of Social and
Preventive Medicine (headed by Prof. F. Gutzwiller) of
the Medical Faculty, University of Zürich, and the
Centre for Organizational and Occupational Science
(headed by Prof. T. Wehner) of the Department of
Management, Technology and Economics, ETH Zürich.
Given its interdisciplinary governing body, POH has a
broad scope. From a public health perspective, in a
complex, demanding economy, population health is
increasingly influenced by the changing interactions
between organizations and their employees. From an
economic perspective, sustainable health and
performance of human resources are key, particularly
considering the ageing workforce. Thus, POH bridges
occupational, organizational and public health
research to broaden the evidence base, legitimacy
and efficacy of organizational health interventions,
and to increase their public health and economic
impact.
Currently, POH includes 21 researchers who are
grouped into the following five units:
• The Ergonomics and Environment Group (headed by
Thomas Läubli) focuses on musculoskeletal strain,
disorders and recovery, as well as on the design of
work stations and work equipment.
• The Work and Psychosocial Health Group (headed
by Oliver Hämmig) focuses on emerging psychosocial
risk factors at work, especially on life-domain-
balance, from both a conflict and enhancement
perspective. Further, the relationships between life-
domain balance, volunteering and health are
examined (led by Rebecca Brauchli). This Group has
also been involved in developing a survey-based
indicator system for monitoring work and health
issues in Switzerland.
• The Organizational Health Development and
Systems Ergonomics Group (headed by myself, in
collaboration with Gregor Jenny) focuses on health-
and performance-oriented assessment tools for
organizations, and large-scale intervention and
dissemination studies. Of particular interest are the
(reciprocal) relationships between job demands, job
resources, negative/positive health and performance,
and how these relationships can be influenced
through organizational capacity building.
• The Consulting Centre for Organizational Health
Development (until recently headed by Katharina
Lehmann) as an in-house research-practice
partnership offers access to companies to develop
and test new intervention approaches, and to collect
longitudinal data in organizations.
• The postgraduate Master of Advanced Studies Work
and Health (headed by Ruth Förster) was established
in 1993 in cooperation with the University of
Lausanne to meet the legal requirements of
specialists in occupational health and safety. The
interdisciplinary programme trains specialists in
occupational medicine, occupational hygiene and
ergonomics. To better address OHP topics, and to
more immediately transfer our current research
results into practice, in 2008 we launched a
Certificate of Advanced Studies in Organizational
Health Development. It enables companies to
introduce and run systemic organizational health
systems.
To strengthen our research base, in 2011 we started
a three-year PhD programme in Health at Work,
jointly with the Institute for Work and Health,
University of Lausanne. Funded by the Swiss National
Science Foundation, it offers PhD courses in
occupational health, as well as funds for ten PhD
research projects, and is open to international PhD
students in OHP.
Where do you see your Division going in the
future?
Literally, to the University of Zürich! Unfortunately,
ETH Zürich decided to shift more to technology- and
treatment-oriented health research, and thus to
terminate its support for our social science-based
organizational health research. Therefore, from 2014
on we will continue our research agenda on the
University of Zürich side only. In order to keep our

5th International Seminar on Positive Occupational Health Psychology Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland 7th-8th June 2012
chological health, social functioning and job perfor-
mance. Numerous books have been published from
various perspectives that focus on work stress and
how it may be alleviated at a personal level, but very
little is known about the skills, abilities and behav-
iours that are required to manage stress in other peo-
ple. Insight into this issue is essential in order to help
develop managers who are able to manage and en-
hance the wellbeing of their employees. Preventing
Stress in Organizations is therefore a much needed
book. Written by three prominent UK occupational
health psychologists with a wealth of research and
consultancy experience in the field, this innovative
and well written book examines ways in which man-
agers can prevent, manage and reduce stress in their
staff. It draws on the findings of a rigorous five-year
research programme conducted with hundreds of
managers and employees working in a range of sec-
tors. The research was sponsored by the UK Health
and Safety Executive (HSE), the Chartered Institute
of Personnel Development, and Investors in People,
and has been promoted widely to organizations and
human resource and occupational health profession-
als. The authors present a framework of positive
management behaviours that they consider to be crit-
ical in managing work-related stress and promoting
healthy working environments. Detailed guidance is
provided on how managers can develop these skills
and behaviours and incorporate them into their every-
day interactions with team members. An innovative
programme of case studies and exercises is included
throughout the book in order to illustrate the practical
application of the competencies in a range of organi-
sational settings. Key references and other resources
are also provided to guide further reading.
The book comprises 12 chapters. The first explores
key definitions and theories of workplace stress, and
considers its antecedents and consequences. A com-
pelling business and legal case is made in chapter two
for why workplace stress should be managed and
some guidance is provided on how organisations can
meet their legal and ethical duty of care to their staff.
Information is also provided to help managers deter-
mine the “true” cost of work stress to their organiza-
tion by calculating the financial implications of stress-
related absence, presenteeism, turnover, accidents
and injury as well as the more hidden costs such as
negative publicity. Chapter three introduces ways by
which workplace stress can be managed from the per-
spective of the organization, the manager, and the
individual employee. Examples of primary, secondary
and tertiary stress management approaches are pro-
vided. Unsurprisingly, particular focus is placed on the
role of the line manager in identifying, monitoring,
reducing, removing and reviewing the stressors that
his or her team experience. Line manager behaviour is
one of the most common causes of workplace stress,
and the ways in which this can impact on employees’
experiences at work (both positive and negative) are
considered. The framework, and the programme of
research that underpinned it, is introduced in chapter
four. A clear rationale is provided both for developing
a stress management approach that focuses on posi-
tive manager behaviour and the competency-based
approach that is utilised. Chapters five to eight intro-
duce the four key competencies: a) managing emo-
tions and having integrity; b) managing and communi-
cating existing and future work; c) managing the indi-
vidual within the team; and d) reasoning/managing
difficult situations. These chapters explore the clusters
of behaviours that underpin each competency in con-
siderable depth and provide examples of the contexts
in which positive and negative management behaviour
may occur. In-depth case studies and exercises are
also provided to guide training and consultancy.
Chapters nine to twelve highlight ways in which the
positive manager behaviours embraced by the frame-
work could be put into practice within an organization
and become embedded in organizational culture. Cru-
cially, the factors that might impede or support the
utilisation and expression of these behaviours are con-
sidered and addressed both from a manager and prac-
titioner perspective. The authors argue that managers
should be aware of the personal and organizational
barriers that they are likely to encounter and consider
how they can be overcome. Theoretical approaches to
behaviour change are outlined, with particular focus
placed on Prochaska and DiClemente’s Stages of
Change theory, and how they might be used to shape
positive manager behaviours are considered.

Global Perspectives on Research and Practice will be launched in April at
the Academy’s 2012 conference in Zürich. It will also be available from all
good booksellers. The series is published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the
European Academy of Occupational Health Psychology and the Society for
Occupational Health Psychology; the first volume (2010-2011) was well re-
ceived by researchers, practitioners, and students of the discipline. This led
Wiley-Blackwell to commission this second volume (2012-2013), in what will
hopefully become a long-standing series of value to the discipline.
We hope that readers will be similarly engaged by the variety of contempo-
rary topics addressed in the second volume. Chapters have been contributed
by a host of high-profile international researchers and practitioners.
