Suicide in the Workplace

Zusatztext

<p>The onset of the pandemic has placed a greater emphasis on mental health, with many organizations making it a business imperative to make sure that employees are fully supported. Research on mental health in the workplace continues to grow, though there is a dearth of scholarly writings taking a micro approach to understanding the impact of negative work environments. This three-book series explores issues related to personality disorders and work-related suicides and their<strong> </strong>effect on employees and leaders.</p> <p>This volume explores occupational suicide, its characteristics, and the circumstances associated with workplace suicide in various occupations. The book is divided into three sections: defining work-related suicide, exploring its relationship to specific high-stress jobs (such as law enforcement), and the role of leadership and human resources<strong> </strong>professionals in suicide prevention and postvention. With chapter contributions from authors around the world, this collection offers a global perspective of the sociocultural factors that affect work-related suicides. This book will advance scholarship related to employee well-being and mental health, employee engagement, and organizational culture and psychology.</p>
