It provides readers with an overview of the latest research informing the policies, procedures and practices of those working on the ground in the UK Fire Service. Using best-practice principles and cutting edge theory, it demonstrates how occupational psychology can be applied to fire services around the globe to improve individual, management, and organisational decisions. Supported by extensive interview content, the authors aim to provide students, trainees, practitioners and fire personnel with a unique insight into a range of topics, including resilience, injury, work related wellbeing, community engagement as well as decision making and operational preparedness. The final chapter discusses lessons learned and future directions in implementing occupational psychology based projects in this context. By highlighting the psychological factors involved in the firefighter occupation, this book paves the way towards a better understanding of emotion, risk, safety, and decision-making within the fire context.

Worldwide, there is currently a considerable amount of interest in postal and delivery economics. The industry is reacting to a state of near crisis and is implementing different drastic changes. The European Commission and member States are still wrestling with the problem of how to implement entry liberalization into postal markets, how to address digital competition, and how to maintain the Universal Service Obligation (USO). The Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006 in the U.S. has perhaps created and exacerbated the problems faced by USPS. Digitalization, technological development and online platforms are strongly affecting both the way postal and delivery operators are managing their services, as well as their role on the market. Strong emphasis was attributed to the assets of Postal Operators (POs) and their added value in the digital age as well as onnew business strategies. This volume presents original essays by prominent researchers in the field, selected and edited from papers presented at the 27th Conference on Postal and Delivery Economics held in Dublin, Ireland, 22-25 May, 2019. Topics addressed by this volume include the fragmentation of the postal supply chain, blockchain and digital postal services, and the fading of traditional postal market boundaries. This book will be a useful tool not only for graduate students and professors, but also for postal administrations, consulting firms, and federal government departments. 410 0$aTopics in Regulatory Economics and Policy,$x2730-7476 606 $aIndustrial organization 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aSocial choice 606 $aWelfare economics 606 $aIndustrial Organization 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aSocial Choice and Welfare 615 0$aIndustrial organization. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aSocial choice. 615 0$aWelfare economics. 615 14$aIndustrial Organization. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aSocial Choice and Welfare. 676 $a383 702 $aParcu$b Pier Luigi$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aBrennan$b Timothy J$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aGlass$b Victor$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910409676303321 996 $aThe Changing Postal Environment$92193205 997 $aUNINA
