The rapidly growing field of organizational psychology has over the last few years become one of the fastest growing branches of psychology. Particularly, taking care of the health and well-being of employees in the workplace cannot only be considered a moral imperative but has begun globally to be recognised as driving forces of socio-economic growth. Employee health and well-being is crucial to organizations in regards to improved productivity, employee performance, job satisfaction, staff retention, reduced absenteeism, increased job satisfaction and work commitment.

Have you ever asked yourself what the purpose of your life is? Do you feel like life is meaningless because you have not encountered a convincing answer to that question? Well, you are not alone. Many philosophers have argued that a clear answer to the problem of meaning is forever lost, and that there is no rational way to secure purpose. If a solution could be discovered, it would only be a very subjective one. We may construct one for ourselves, according to this line of thinking, but an objective purpose can never be found. I wrote this book because I strongly disagree with this contention. If you are interested in this adventurous question, you will find in these pages a novel approach to the problem, and I argue that through philosophical inquiry, we indeed can uncover an objective meaning to our lives. This book is a step-by-step guide to walk you through the tough questions in the philosophy of meaning and to bring you closer to your destiny. Our purpose is relevant for all of us. And perhaps the solution touches deeper than you might have ever dared to imagine.
Theshipshears onthrough billowing seas Carried on tempest’s wings with ease A cry of joy goes up from fore and aft: “Our destination is within our grasp!” But the helmsman’s words are lost in the throng: “We’ve been sailing in circles all along.” Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach This book has been written as an aid to anyone in the print media industry, be they managers or customers, who is looking to steer their business into calmer waters in what are stormy times. New technologies offer tremendous opportunities for innovation and process improvement – but only if we understand the fundamental principles behind them. This is the goal of this book. To this end, we will be looking a...
Gesundheit bildet das Fundament menschlicher Leistungskraft und stellt damit eine wesentliche Voraussetzung für betriebliche Effektivität und Effizienz dar. In diesem Wissen investieren Unternehmen vermehrt in ein Betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement (BGM). Ein solches kann allerdings mit einzelnen Projekten und isolierten Fachbeauftragten langfristig nicht erfolgreich sein. Vielmehr bedarf es einer alltäglich gelebten Gesundheitskultur. Gegenstand der Dissertation sind u. a. eine sorgfältige Systematisierung und Aufbereitung des Wissensstands im Bereich BGM, eine umfassende qualitative Studie innerhalb eines Best-Practice-Unternehmens sowie die Ableitung konkreter Gestaltungsempfehlungen...
Die Auswirkungen des demografischen Wandels erfordern eine aktive und gemeinsame Gestaltung von Politik, Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft. Aus integrativer Perspektive werden sowohl theoretische Forschungsergebnisse als auch praktische Handlungsfelder auf Basis der Ergebnisse von 27 Verbundprojekten mit über 80 bundesweit beteiligten Institutionen aus Wissenschaft und Praxis präsentiert, die im Rahmen des BMBF-Förderschwerpunktes „Innovationsfähigkeit im demografischen Wandel“ von 2012 bis 2015 erarbeitet wurden.
Mark-Alexander Solf betrachtet die Begrifflichkeit Gesundheitsökonomie aus einem philosophischen Blickwinkel und klärt, was im Allgemeinen unter Gesundheit und Ökonomie verstanden wird. Oft müssen Arbeitnehmer selbstständig entscheiden, ob sie zu krank zum Arbeiten sind oder nicht. Der Autor veranschaulicht, ob Arbeitnehmer mit ihrer Gesundheit auch ökonomisch umgehen. Die Literatur kennt unzählige Definitionen zu den Begriffen Krankheit und Gesundheit. Gänzlich wegweisend scheint keine der einschlägigen Definitionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit. Eine Folge dieses Dilemmas ist der Präsentismus mit seinen horrenden wirtschaftlichen Folgen. Der Autor: Dr. med. Mark-Alexander Solf, MHBA, ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter und Assistenzarzt am Klinikum der Universität München (LMU) - Klinik für Anästhesiologie.
