Advancing theory on the bidirectional relationship between work injuries and mental health challenges: A socio-cognitive perspective
Stephen Granger, PhD
Assistant Professor
Department of Management
John Molson School of Business at the Concordia University
The aim of this talk will be to outline a renewed framework integrating theories from psychology to advance our understanding of the bidirectional relationship between work injuries and mental health challenges. The talk will start by highlighting key historical theoretical developments on the bidirectional relationship and how theory has stagnated in recent decades. I will then present a model focusing on theoretically driven socio-cognitive factors and present preliminary results using data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging.
