| Summary: | There has been a growing recognition that the experience of psychosocial hazards at work has detrimental effects on the
health and well-being of employees, as well as on the workplace productivity and profits. Issues such as work-related
stress, bullying, and stress due to harassment have grown in prominence in recent years in response to a number of factors
such as overwork, job insecurity, low levels of job satisfaction, and lack of autonomy. These hazards are highly
underestimated in most of the workplaces because of the difficulties involved with their detection and management and
eventually represent risks to physical and psychological health. Reducing this huge burden from unhealthy workplaces is a
formidable challenge for national governments, health policy makers, and practitioners. The growing burden of
psychosocial hazards at workplace has guided to review the literature on the effective approaches to improve
psychosocial work environment. It is concluded that adapting the systems and structured approach to psychosocial health
risk management will be effective to prevent hazards and manage psychosocial work environment. |
