“Quality of work is a complex domain with issues that are only resolved by applying know-how from various disciplines in psychology."
“What's good about this master's? The topic, of course, and its multidisciplinary nature. I have always been interested in the relationship between work and the safety, health and well-being of people at work. Quality of work is a complex domain with issues that are only resolved by applying know-how from various disciplines in psychology. And you learn that in Occupational health psychology... I do research and consultancy work here, investigating the causes of health and safety risks. When consulting, I work as an internal auditor, trainer or process supervisor in interventions aimed at creating a safe and healthy organisation.
Currently I'm working on a number of projects. I'm looking at how we can make unskilled workers more aware of hazards at work. I'm also conducting an observational study into team performance in the paediatric cardiac surgery department in a hospital and I'm leading a project looking at job demands in our own team.
Looking back, I know I made the right choice with the Occupational health psychology master's! I'm a practical person, and at TNO you do applied research, so that fits well. This master's has much the same practical approach, and to my mind that's unique.”
