Knowledge of the basic psychosocial working conditions that are important to sustain employees' health is today relatively well developed. Nevertheless, new conditions arise continuously and the working conditions changes and needs to be understood to be handled. The studies examine the ways in which leadership practice and organizing of these have significance for employees more health-promoting and sustainable conditions. The studies examine the implications for work-related health, well-being and sick leave, as well as for work engagement and productivity. Likewise, we examine how leadership, organizing and organizational relationships contribute to learning, trust, and participation. In various sub-projects, the interaction between leadership and organizing is studied at the national, governance, workplace, group and individual levels
