Introduction – why do some interventions derail? deconstructing the elements of organizational interventions for stress and well-being

Abstract

In this introductory chapter we suggest that we can extract invaluable lessons about the active ingredients of organizational interventions for stress and well-being can be extracted from interventions that have failed or derailed. We then present the four pillars of organizational interventions for stress and well-being (context, content, process, and outcome) as a way to organise the lessons presented in this book and to guide intervention design and evaluation more broadly. Finally, we outline the chapters presented in this edited volume.
