APBM 2026 addresses Societal and Technological Developments, Business and Economic Imperatives together with Innovative Frameworks in Psychology and Human Behavior aiming to highlight the problems of Sustainability and Resilience.
The conference moves beyond a traditional academic event, focusing on the deep, systemic transformations required across multiple sectors of science, research, technology, real life and business practices.
We invite researchers, practitioners, and policymakers within Applied Psychology, Business Management, Organizational Behavior, Economics, Sustainability and Technology to share their experiences, ideas, recent studies, best cases, new findings and theories related to the conference profile.
Recognizing the unique interdisciplinary roots of the conference, APBM 2026 highlights the crucial intersection of Applied Psychology and Sustainable Management.
True sustainable change cannot be mandated; it must be driven by human decision and motivation.
We call for submissions exploring the psychological levers of sustainability:
- Understanding pro-environmental behaviors in the workplace,
- Fostering sustainable leadership and ethical governance,
- Designing effective change management strategies for green transitions, and mitigating the effects of climate anxiety on employee well-being and productivity and other related topics.
