In this line of research, we study the relationship between work, health, and workplace well-being. We investigate job satisfaction and job quality, as well as psychosocial risks arising from the use of technology, especially AI. We explore the interaction between different individual characteristics and behaviours, and psychosocial constructs, with the dimensions of workplace well-being and occupational health.
-
AI, digital transition, and job quality: predictors, multidimensional models, and the social, economic, and organisational effects of the link between digital transition and job quality.
-
AI, digital transition, and workplace well-being: well-being, performance, and satisfaction associated with the work-related uses of AI and related technologies.
-
AI, work, and occupational health: work stressors; determinants and consequences of technostress associated with AI and digital technologies.
-
Psychosocial risks, including emerging and extreme risks related to AI.
-
Digital transformation, diversity, and inclusion.
