Introduction
The Work, Stress, and Health will examine the ways that individual, occupational, and contextual conditions of work are associated with stress, health, and wellbeing. While the course materials draw mostly from sociological theory and research, we will also draw from the richness of other disciplines—especially occupational and organizational psychology. Course materials will cover debates about the conceptualization and measurement of job qualities and conditions; we will also focus on social patterns, processes, and outcomes, as well as the relevance of social contexts for contributing to disparities in health and well-being. This course may equip students with analytical tools to understand the dynamics of job stress and worker well-being. Finally, this course will help students maintain good well-being while working in the workplace.
The course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Health and Ageing
- FlexiMasters in Health and Ageing
- Graduate Certificate in Social Sciences
- FlexiMasters in Social Sciences
