About this book deutschenglish

What would happen if an investment to foster health in an organization would lead to an improvement in efficiency at the same time? This book deals with this topic and analyses if a simultaneous improvement in productivity and health in an organization is possible and what consequences this would have for an organization.

Through the course of this book various strength-based concepts (e.g. Systemic Therapy and Consultation, Positive Psychology, Strength-based Management) are analyzed to reveal indications for developing a job design that fosters health and productivity. These indications are the basis for the development of an instrument that is designed to unleash human competencies and potentials. The instrument is built on a systemic-constructivist frame for analyzing organizations. The instrument is based on an innovative approach to work that leads people to identify with their tasks and to a higher motivation while implementing solutions. The strength-based design of the instrument helps people to achieve their goals in an efficient way and to perceive more positive emotions and thus a higher degree of well-being.

For individuals the instrument offers the possibility to create a more meaningful and successful working life. People who applied the instrument report that they experienced more positive emotions such as happiness or satisfaction and fewer negative emotions such as stress or discontent. Furthermore, the instrument has helped them to deal with their tasks timely, effectively and efficiently.

For organizations the instrument offers the possibility to combine activities to foster health and efficiency into one course of action. This helps organizations to counteract the trend of an increase in psychological problems in organizations, which is one of the biggest challenges in the design of modern workplaces. Furthermore, the instrument helps organizations to secure their own future organizational development by the preservation, exploration and the consistent further development of human based potentials.
