BackgroundJob loss, debt and financial difficulties are associated with increased risk of mental illness and suicide in the general population. Interventions targeting people in debt or unemployed might help reduce these effects.MethodWe searched MEDLINE, Embase, The Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and PsycINFO (January 2016) for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of interventions to reduce the effects of unemployment and debt on mental health in general population samples. We assessed papers for inclusion, extracted data and assessed risk of bias.ResultsEleven RCTs (n = 5303 participants) met the inclusion criteria. All recruited participants were unemployed. Five RCTs assessed ‘job-club’ interventions, two cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and a single RCT assessed each of emotional competency training, expressive writing, guided imagery and debt advice. All studies were at high risk of bias. ‘Job club’ interventions led to improvements in levels of depression up to 2 years post-intervention; effects were strongest among those at increased risk of depression (improvements of up to 0.2–0.3 s.d. in depression scores). There was mixed evidence for effectiveness of group CBT on symptoms of depression. An RCT of debt advice found no effect but had poor uptake. Single trials of three other interventions showed no evidence of benefit.Conclusions‘Job-club’ interventions may be effective in reducing depressive symptoms in unemployed people, particularly those at high risk of depression. Evidence for CBT-type interventions is mixed; further trials are needed. However the studies are old and at high risk of bias. Future intervention studies should follow CONSORT guidelines and address issues of poor uptake.

“…Finally, emotional management refers to the ability of monitoring and regulate own and other's emotions in a way that promotes personal growth (Mayer et al, 2008). There is incipient evidence that such emotional training helps to reduce negative emotions stress in highly uncertain situations without a clear solution, such as being a long-term unemployed individual within a recessive context (Hodzic, Ripoll, Lira, & Zenasni, 2015). Thus, although we believe that a context-based training is highly effective to sustain emotional regulation by reducing uncertainty within familiar theaters of operations, developing SFPs' emotional competencies may be a more flexible coping strategy within uncertain scenarios.…”

“…Second, recent empirical research has shown that emotional competencies can be trained (Hodzic et al, 2015), and that such training reduces subjective stress and improve social relationships (Kotsou, Nelis, Gregoire, & Mikolajczak, 2011). More precisely, emotional competency training can increase quality-of-work-life reports (Cherniss & Adler, 2000;Slaski & Cartwright, 2003), and positively impacts team performance (Turner & Lloyd Walker, 2008).…”

However, a more refined understanding of this topic will become especially relevant as national and international space agencies increase the duration of manned space missions, and as the private sector fully enters the aerospace arena. In this paper, we analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the four main types of interventions for dealing with the stressors associated with human spaceflight (i.e., ergonomic, physiological, psychological, and psychosocial), and then elaborate on a psychosocial intervention 1 The authors would like to thank Prof. Dr. E. Messerschmid and his team at the Institut für Raumfahrtsysteme (Stuttgart University), for the opportunity to take part in 2008's Space Station Design Workshop (SSDW), held at ESA ESTEC.

We would also like to thank Dr. Marisha McAuliffe (Queensland University of Technology) and Bart Van Hove for their insightful comments on earlier version of this paper.grounded on evidence-based interventions across several fields of psychological research. Among the components of such interventions, we recommend adopting advanced stress coping strategies, developing emotional and intercultural competencies and crafting a shared social identity among crew members. Our proposed intervention aims to enhance the efficacy of social support as a key coping mechanism and applies to crewmembers and spaceflight participants of diverse cultural backgrounds who, most likely, will work using computer-mediated communication (CMC).

“…Besides the amount of training (e.g. the number of hours), it might also be important to consider the skills obtained when exploring employability (Baruch, ; Hodzic et al ., ), and then to distinguish between training in general skills (which can be used both within and outside the company, for instance languages, communication, social skills, etc. ), and training in job‐related skills, which are useful in the current job or in a similar job (for example product‐related training, operating a machine, office automation training, etc.).…”

In addition to these enabling factors, it is believed that other external and endogenous conditions may contribute towards determining whether individuals can actually use their employability and are generally traced back to economic trends and labour market conditions (Hillage & Pollard, 1998;McQuaid & Lindsay, 2005).…”

This paper explores the effects on workers’ employability of workplace development opportunities during employment as perceived by the workers themselves. Data was collected through a survey conducted in 2012 in Italy using a sample of 558 workers. The aim was to test the effects of participation in training courses, workplace learning opportunities and career development support on career development in 2013. Results show that the main predictors of subjective career success are related to the career development support provided by supervisors, including mentoring and career counselling, and workplace learning opportunities provided through processes of job enrichment, job enlargement and job rotation. By contrast, participation in training courses does not bring any significant effects. The study also reveals that employees’ opportunities for increasing their employability in the workplace depend on a number of personal and occupational characteristics. The study reaches the conclusion that firms can play a significant role in enhancing the career success of an individual and that employability can been encouraged by a mix of on‐the‐job workplace development opportunities.
