Biography
Oliver Black is a Research Fellow in the Department of Management in Deakin Business School. Oliver's research focuses on understanding phenomena in the field of work-health and building an evidence base for practical interventions which can improve worker’s health. Specifically, he has previously studied the relationship between a concept called self-efficacy, a basic personal belief in one’s ability to carry out a behaviour, and return-to-work outcomes following a work injury.
Oliver's research now focuses on the wellbeing of vulnerable working populations, which complements previous work that conceptualised a multi-faceted approach to a worker’s vulnerability to ill-health in the workplace. His research's aim is to improve mental wellbeing in susceptible working populations by identifying the key determinants of work-stress and making changes where practicable.
