Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With this Special Issue we would like to focus on well-being at work and its link with neuroscientific perspectives and measurement.
Studies indicate that work is a crucial element for individuals’ well-being, as it increases the lifespan, is associated with identity, and provides tasks, social opportunities, and the possibility to be involved in new challenges and new social status. Moreover, a relevant component of well-being is identified in emotions: in particular, the hedonic approach of well-being suggests psychological well-being in the presence of positive emotions and the absence of negative emotions, leading individuals to experiment with subjective well-being.
Neuroscientific approaches and tools applied to organizational issues can contribute to the understanding of emotional states and cognitive processes. This could help to deepen organizational behaviors and aid in the development of organizational theories. In particular, neuroscience applied to management and organizational issues focuses on the brain processes deriving from the dynamics in an organization and helps to detect human brain actions and interactions in the business context. In this sense, neuroscience applied to organizational issues is functional for the emotional brain and the building of social connections, helping organizations in managing emotions in the workplace and designing positive emotional and collaborative workplaces.
In this Special Issue, we invite authors to contribute research that deepens and examines the role of the neuroscientific approach and measurement among workplaces, detecting how workspaces, emotions, relationships (including trust and leadership), assessment processes, and different organizational dynamics can affect organizational and subjective well-being. The aim is to work with authors to add new perspectives, knowledge, and applied solutions to organizational psychology, specifically to organizational well-being issues.
