Asia Pacific Academy for Psychosocial Factors at Work
About Us

Asia Pacific Academy for Psychosocial Factors at Work was established in 2012 following a series of expert meetings across the Asia Pacific region. The overarching aim of the Academy is to bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers from the Asia Pacific region and beyond, and contribute to better working arrangements in the region. The academy provides a forum to discuss psychosocial factors at work, to share and generate knowledge, to deliver education and training, to build greater networks, and to foster opportunities to prevent work injury. The academy is multidisciplinary in outlook.

The academy holds annual expert meetings across the Asia Pacific. To date seven have been held, and we are now organising our 1st International Conference in Auckland, New Zealand on 29-30 November, 2018 and ​2nd Conference (Virtual) of the Asia Pacific Academy for Psychosocial Factors at Work on 27-30 July, 2021 ​. Together we have published books, special journal issues, and convened an international congress. We welcome you to join the Academy and contribute to our understanding of psychosocial factors at work in the region.
