Karanika-Murray, M. (author), Oeij, P.R. (author)This paper is premised on the observation that the potential of Work and Organizational (WO) Psychologists to successfully implement workplace innovation (WPI) practices and, in turn, improve the quality of work and organizational performance is greatly underused. One reason for this is that WPI practice often adopts a more specialised approach...article 2017

Vaas, F. (author), Žiauberyte-Jakštiene, R. (author), Oeij, P.R. (author)Many practitioners find it problematic to understand and describe workplace innovation (WPI). Whereas there are well-known definitions of WPI, these remain highly abstract. We argue that, for practitioners, case examples of WPI best practices can be a valuable addition to these definitions. In this respect, based on our practical experience with...article 2017

(author)Background In the Netherlands, HPV-vaccination uptake among 12-year-old girls remains to be lower (61% in 2016) than expected. The present study is about 1) replicating the extent to which social-psychological determinants found in earlier cross-sectional studies explain HPV-vaccination intention, and 2) testing whether HPV-vaccination intention...article 2017

(author)BACKGROUND: Health care workers are exposed to psychosocial work factors. Autonomy and social support are psychosocial work factors that are related to stress, and are argued to largely result from the psychosocial safety climate within organisations. This study aimed to assess to what extent the relation between psychosocial safety climate and...article 2017

Toet, A. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Korteling, J.E. (author)Cognitive biases and heuristics are pervasive simplifications and distortions in judgement and reasoning that systematically affect human decision making. Knowledge in this area may enable us to foresee and reduce detrimental effects of biases or to influence others more effectively. We therefore performed a literature study to assess the...article 2016

Koldijk, S. (author), Kraaij, W. (author), Neerincx, M.A. (author)BACKGROUND: Stress in office environments is a big concern, often leading to burn-out. New technologies are emerging, such as easily available sensors, contextual reasoning, and electronic coaching (e-coaching) apps. In the Smart Reasoning for Well-being at Home and at Work (SWELL) project, we explore the potential of using such new pervasive...article 2016

Toet, A. (author), Houtkamp, J.M. (author), Vreugdenhil, P.E. (author)This study investigated whether personal relevance influences the affective appraisal of a desktop virtual environment (VE) in simulated darkness. In the real world, darkness often evokes thoughts of vulnerability, threat, and danger, and may automatically precipitate emotional responses consonant with those thoughts (fear of darkness). This...article 2016

Schrieks, I.C. (author), Joosten, M.M. (author), Klöpping-Ketelaars, W.A.A. (author), Witkamp, R.F. (author), Hendriks, H.F.J. (author)Alcohol is often consumed to reduce tension and improve mood when exposed to stressful situations. Previous studies showed that moderate alcohol consumption may reduce stress when alcohol is consumed prior to a stressor, but data on the effect of alcohol consumption after a mental stressor is limited. Therefore, our objective was to study...article 2016

Korteling, J.E. (author), Brouwer, A.M. (author), van den Bosch, K. (author), Toet, A. (author)Cognitive heuristics and biases (H&B) have powerful influence on judgement and decisionmaking and thereby on human behavior. These (mainly unconscious) tendencies may thus also have high impact in many military situations and circumstances. This counts for the own organization as well as for direct opponents and neutral actors, such as coalition...report 2016
