Mini-Comp: Psychosocial Risks / Mental-Ill Health / Psychological Injury

“wHeRe iS tHe eViDeNcE fOr pSyChOsOcIaL risks?!1?!11”

I can’t be bothered repeatedly linking to the dozens of systematic reviews and meta-analyses on the connections between psychosocial factors and various indices of health, safety, and organizational performance on LinkedIn. So, I’m just compiling a few into a mini-collection.

WAY WAY WAY too much to systematically cover here, so just a few examples in a few limited areas.

Let me know if I’ve missed any bangers.

Note. This is the last compendium for the foreseeable future, due to limited community interest.
