Textul de pe ultima copertă
Applying Occupational Psychology in the Fire Service: Emotion, Risk and Decision-Making is a call to arms for more robust practices to support the Fire Service. It provides readers with an overview of the latest research informing the policies, procedures and practices of those working on the ground in the UK Fire Service. Using best-practice principles and cutting edge theory, it demonstrates how occupational psychology can be applied to fire services around the globe to improve individual, management, and organisational decisions. Supported by extensive interview content, the authors aim to provide students, trainees, practitioners and fire personnel with a unique insight into a range of topics, including resilience, injury, work related wellbeing, community engagement as well as decision making and operational preparedness. The final chapter discusses lessons learned and future directions in implementing occupational psychology based projects in this context. By highlighting the psychological factors involved in the firefighter occupation, this book paves the way towards a better understanding of emotion, risk, safety, and decision-making within the fire context.
