Work and Organizational Psychology Expert Panel

Among our experts are researchers who specialize in work and organizational psychology as well as human resources (HR) management. Work addiction is as much a clinical problem as it is an organizational behavior and an issue that is deeply embedded in work psychology and management practices. Organizational climate and culture are among the most important factors affecting workaholic behaviors. To understand them and to develop effective organizational solutions we need integrations and close collaboration between clinical and work psychology researchers. The members of our team of collaborators represent countries from all over the world.

The list is arranged alphabetically.
