This important and comprehensive new volume discusses the role of

emotion, resilience, and well-being in many contexts of human life,
including home, school, and workplace. Leading researchers and
academicians from around the world and from various fields—such as
health, education, information and technology, military, and
manufacturing—explore the theoretical and practical implications of many
studies in this area. They present new concepts, models, and knowledge for
practical applications that address challenges to well-being. The volume
also considers the roles of several other influencing factors, such as
emotional intelligence, performance, productivity, and employee’s health
and happiness.
The book’s editors state that, “At this juncture of human and technological
development, when artificial intelligence and automation are slowly taking
over the world, holding on to the study of emotions, well-being, and
resilience has become imperative, as these influence sustainable
performances and growth by individuals as well as organizations.” This
volume addresses the important issues of how digitization and globalization
have affected employee mental health and pose workplace-related
challenges in both developed and emerging economies. The book considers
the growing state of social apathy, aggression, and violence in many places
across the globe along with impact of frequent natural and man-made
disasters that have been disturbing and destabilizing human life in society
and community.
Key features of Emotion, Well-Being, and Resilience: Theoretical
Perspectives and Practical Applications:
• Presents empirical findings from over 30 studies on well-being and
resilience with practical applications
• Offers a comprehensive understanding of the theoretical concepts and
models related to emotion, well-being, and resilience
• Reviews valuable findings in the field of resilience and well-being studies
in the context of extreme environments, such as the military
• Addresses mental health and well-being in the contexts of workplace,
disease and chronic illness, motherhood, suicide risk, caring for the
disabled, aging, school (both teachers and students), community, sports,
etc.
With contributions from over 70 authors from six continents, this volume
will be exceptionally valuable for research scholars and teachers in
psychology, human resource managers, and mental health practitioners
working in the field of emotion, resilience, and well-being.
