- Depression in the Workplace
Depression is a common illness. At some point in their life, around 1 in every 5 women and 1 in every 10 men will suffer from depression. At any given time, 1 in every 20 adults is experiencing a serious ?major? depression. A similar number will have a less serious depression. Naturally, problems that are common in the general population are common in people at work. In any one year about 3 in every 10 employees will have a mental health problem, and depression is one of the most common. It is not just distressing for the person involved. It makes them less productive at work and is responsible for high rates of sick-leave, accidents and staff turnover.

- Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal involves obtaining performance information about—and providing feedback to—an employee. In the first part of the chapter we discuss the purpose of performance appraisals, and then steps to achieving worthwhile appraisals. One of the most important steps in the performance appraisal process is the feedback delivered to employees. While this step has traditionally caused the most amount of stress to supervisor and subordinate alike, in this chapter we will analyze a feedback approach that turns out to be extremely positive for both.

- The Effects of Member Change and Continuity on the Productive Efficiency of Work Teams
The requirements of flexibility and change demanded of organisational activities by today’s environments may have diverse consequences for work teams, such as those related to conditions of the continuity and change of their members. Traditional psychological research has paid considerable attention to the static arrangement of groups. Nevertheless, most of the features of membership dynamics in work teams remain unknown. This study uses a longitudinal method to explore the influence of continuity-and-change patterns on the productivity of work teams, as measured by the quantity and quality of products.
