Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Today's sociotechnical systems are increasingly complex, which has led to work environments being changed, modified, or adapted to meet the needs of organizations, institutions, and human beings. These constant transformations, in addition to the new nature of work, have affected human’s physical and mental health. They have also driven diseases related to psychosocial factors, work accidents, human error, high workload, work stress, occupational disease, poor work performance, and quality problems, among other adverse effects. Thus, studying and implementing new approaches in every workplace is relevant, especially in those work environments where there is an increasing trend of accidents or human errors related to occupational injuries, diseases, and psychosocial factors due to the new nature of the work. Currently, mental hurdles are more prominent than physical ones. In this sense, the study and application of new approaches in work environments to preserve physical and mental health are of particular interest to many professionals. Papers addressing these topics, especially those combining a high academic standard with a practical focus to provide innovative studies, implementations, and perspectives on human well-being and physical and mental health enhancements at work in new contexts and situations, are welcome. Thus, we hope that the articles contained within this Special Issue will provide new practical and theoretical perspectives, tools, applications, and innovative solutions to improve physical and mental health and human well-being.
