This book employs a multidisciplinary and multi-level perspective to understand how well-being and resilience can influence innovation in knowledge-intensive contexts. Building on the authors’ work in the areas of innovation management, human resource management and the psychological aspects of employee well-being, rich empirical data is presented and analysed in order to develop a conceptual framework. An interdisciplinary and insightful read for those studying HRM, innovation and psychology, this book is aimed at scholars who are interested in examining the relationships between micro- (individual) and meso-level (organisational and managerial practices) influences on innovation outcomes.

This book explores employees’ pursuit for meaning and purpose in the workplace. It critically analyses the impact of work on engagement, life satisfaction, and productivity, and argues sense of purpose is pivotal in the realization of a thriving and successful workplace. Given its emphasis on the mutual interfaces of engagement, satisfaction, and productivity viewed through the lens of philosophy, psychology, spirituality and economics, it is intended as a multi-disciplinarian account for the ages. Finding purpose and meaning in the workplace can transform good employees into prodigious employees, and good workplaces into great workplaces. The book proposes an evidence-based moral argument to show how individuals can experience high levels of engagement and productivity in the workplace if they find meaning and purpose in the work they are doing, and by extension, organisational success. The book is targeted at both employees and employers, academics, practitioners, and policy makers, students and professionals alike.

This book explores mind over matter in a digital age and presents the importance of continued transformation of the mind to promote humane Artificial Intelligence for greater good. In doing so, it focuses on the organizational and managerial practices that are critical in creating an environment that supports mindset and organizational growth. The digital age is significantly impacting employees and organizations and steering billions of people around the world. Artificial Intelligence has created a whole new paradigm with a revolution loftier than all the industrial revolutions and the innovations of the past millennia combined. We are either headed towards restoring humanity back to the “Imago Dei”, where creative powers are unleashed in human freedom, or advocating selective breeding and “survival of the fittest”.
