Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As we stand at the intersection of the third decade of the 21st century, the themes of health, well-being, and sustainability have emerged as pivotal areas of inquiry within the academic community. This triad of interconnected themes encapsulates the zeitgeist of our current era, characterized by remarkable technological advancements, rising health concerns, and escalating environmental crises. This Special Issue of our academic journal aims to provide an expansive platform for critical dialogue, innovative research, and thought-provoking insights into these integral themes.
The scientific backdrop against which this Special Issue takes shape underscores the interconnectedness of human health, well-being, and environmental sustainability. Emerging research increasingly highlights the intricate relationships between these three themes. For instance, our understanding of health has transformed from a purely biomedical focus to a holistic conception that encompasses physical, mental, and social aspects of well-being. Concurrently, mounting evidence indicates that this broader perspective on health and well-being is intrinsically linked to environmental sustainability. By exploring the intricate nexus of health, well-being, and sustainability, this Special Issue will promote a deeper, more nuanced understanding of these essential facets of our contemporary world.
The primary aim of this Special Issue is to advance scholarly discourse on the complex intersections of health, well-being, and sustainability. we seek to catalyze interdisciplinary dialogue, promote cross-sector collaborations, and inspire innovative research that resonates with the broader scope of our journal. In doing so, we hope to provide a platform for robust intellectual exchange that encourages integrative thinking and inspires novel solutions for the manifold challenges in these critical areas of inquiry.
The themes of health, well-being, and sustainability naturally align with our journal's commitment to fostering scholarly excellence across diverse academic fields. These themes reflect our dedication to exploring multifaceted societal issues and understanding complex phenomena from interdisciplinary perspectives.
This Special Issue invites original research, comprehensive reviews, and thought-provoking commentary on various themes including, but not limited to, the following:
*The interplay of physical health, mental health, and environmental sustainability;
*Sustainable development and human well-being: building resilient communities (e.g., job insecurity, work overload);
*The role of technology and innovation in promoting health and sustainability;
*The social determinants of health and well-being: a sustainable development perspective;
*Public health policy and sustainability: navigating the challenges and opportunities;
*Climate change and its impact on global health and well-being;
*Corporate social responsibility and its role in promoting health and sustainability;
*Employees’ turnover intention, organizational citizenship behavior, counterproductive work behavior, safety behavior, cyber security behavior.
Through this Special Issue, we seek to inspire an engaging dialogue that transcends disciplinary boundaries, cultivating a rich tapestry of insights into the complex landscape of health, well-being, and sustainability.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the above.
I look forward to receiving your contributions.
