Review of Psychological and Social Factors at Work and Suggestions for the General Nordic Questionnaire
This is the second report from the Nordic Council of Ministers’ project concerning psychological and social factors at work. The project has developed a new general Nordic questionnaire (QPSNordic) to be used as a tool in various research and organisational intervention projects. This report describes the conceptual and theoretical background of factors selected for coverage by the Nordic questionnaire. The main principles in selecting the factors have been their relevance and importance with respect to work, health and well-being. The preliminary draft of the QPSNordic is included in this report, as an appendix. Application of the QPSNordic as an instrument in the organisational development method known as survey-feedback is described in this report.

Positive Factors at Work
Positive psychology investigates the positive aspects of human life. Positive psychologists contend that it is difficult to understand the factors that create health, balance and meaningful lives through studying sickness, dissatisfaction and suffering. Accordingly, positive psychology represents a turn for a more positive approach to psychology. The ideas of positive psychology are also applicable within the sphere of work and organisational psychology. It is a central contention of this report that positive psychology may provide interesting answers to some of the challenges that are confronting the Nordic welfare states in the years ahead. The aim of this report is to give a theoretical and methodological overview of existing Nordic research about positive factors at work. The report contains a series of operationalised concepts that measure positive factors at work. These measures of positive factors at work are brought together in a theoretical model that the authors of this report will use as a starting point for further research into positive psychology at work in a Nordic context. This research has been funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
Healthy and Productive Work
The Enterprise Culture of the 1980s helped transform economies of Western Europe, but left behind a legacy of stress, both for managers and shop floor workers. The cost to business is seen in absenteeism, reduced productivity, compensation claims, health insurance and direct medical costs, which in the US cost approximately $150 billion a year.
