Psychological Responsibility@Work

Prof Mowbray has written this Guide on Psychological Responsibility to help you look after your psychological health and wellbeing at work, as well as helping others to do the same.

You spend a large percentage of your waking life, as an adult, in work and you have a responsibility to yourself to get the best from it, and to help others do the same.

Psychological wellbeing is a state you reach when you feel success and happiness at what you are doing. You can feel the two sensations together, or just a feeling of success, or just a feeling of happiness.

Feeling psychologically well results in you having a clear head, being able to accept an invitation to be open to opportunities, open to motivation, and open to being fulfilled by your experiences at work.

Organisations are at their most effective when the workforce shares the responsibility for being considerate and supportive of each other. They are more successful when each person, such as you, derives your own satisfaction from helping others achieve theirs. The challenge is how to encourage you to do this.

Organisations are an important powerhouse for living life to the full. If you really love your work, and the organisation that provides it, you feel mentally fit with the energy, enthusiasm, motivation and success to make your life fulfilling and happy. Such feelings stand a good prospect of spilling over into your private life, helping you achieve a fulfilled and rounded life experience.

Psychological Responsibility is about your responsibility to yourself to be mentally and psychologically fit, as well as helping others to feel the same. No one else can do this for you.

Psychological Responsibility is a foundation principle of The WellBeing and Performance Agenda, a framework for making ‘the workplace a fabulous place to work’.(1)

This A5, spiral bound book on Psychological Responsibility contains a number of practical exercises and some excellent Questionnaires – Values and Beliefs, Emotional Intelligence, Intelligent Behaviour to name a few.

The Guide to Psychological Responsibility makes an ideal addition to an in house wellbeing programme.
