- Title
A Programmatic Approach to Studying the Industrial Environment and Mental Health.
- Authors
French Jr., John R. P.; Kahn, Robert L.
- Abstract
The program for studying the Industrial Environment and Mental Health is intended as an environmental approach to mental health in industry. As such, it is considered to be complementary to the more usual approach of individual counseling and therapy. This article deals with the following major issues in the programmatic work: the central research concepts to be employed; an approach to theory construction and to methods of research; the place of motivation, self-identity and other enduring aspects of the person in this research program; a systematic approach to studying the industrial environment; and the development of appropriate criteria for mental health.
