seeks to bring about advancements in psychology by developing and testing theories about behaviour and performance in work organisations. The Institute's research programmes are based primarily on longitudinal research in collaboration with industrial, commercial, and public organisations.
The strategy of the Institute is to balance three research themes:
* To specify the features of work tasks, roles and equipment which can affect employee mental health and performance;
* To examine the intrapersonal factors that are more apt to be affected and influenced by the work environment;
* To investigate the processes and outcomes of changes designed to enhance mental health.
The Institute's study "The impact of Mental Health on Job Performance and Absence from Work in NHS Staff"41 is an example of the type of work it does.
