About Elizabeth
Elizabeth Brook, professionally known as Libby Brook, serves as an Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the School of Psychology at Murdoch University, within the College of Science, Health, Engineering and Education. She earned a Master's degree in Applied Psychology and completed her Doctor of Philosophy at Murdoch University in 2020. Her doctoral thesis, titled 'Fly-in/fly-out working arrangements: Employee perceptions of work and personal impacts,' explored the effects of remote work contracts on employees' professional and personal lives during Western Australia's resources boom. Brook's research specializations center on organisational psychology, with a focus on the health and well-being of fly-in fly-out (FIFO) workers in the Australian resources sector. Her academic interests include fatigue management in safety-critical workplaces, workplace bullying, depression and suicide risk among resource workers, the FIFO work-family interface, psychosocial safety, burnout, job satisfaction, work motivation, work-life balance, and the relationship between emotions and sleep quality in adolescents.
In her career, Brook has supervised doctoral candidates, taught Master's-level Organisational Psychology courses, and collaborated on studies addressing psychosocial risks and fatigue control. Notable publications include 'The impact of fly-in, fly-out (FIFO) on the health and well-being of employees: what organisations can do to mitigate the risks and improve outcomes' (The APPEA Journal, 2020, with Melanie Freeman and Graeme Ditchburn); 'Bullying in Fly-In-Fly-Out employees in the Australian resources sector: A cross-sectional study' (PLOS ONE, 2020, with Peta Miller, Norman Stomski, Graeme Ditchburn, and Paul Morrison); 'Depression, suicide risk, and workplace bullying: A comparative study of fly-in, fly-out and residential resource workers in Australia' (Australian Health Review, 2019, with Peta Miller et al.); 'Delivering your daily dose of well-being to the workplace: a randomized controlled trial of an online well-being programme for employees' (European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology, 2017, with Lauren M. Neumeier, Graeme Ditchburn, and Paul Sckopke); and 'Combining physical and psychosocial safety: A comprehensive workplace safety model' (2020). Additional contributions encompass 'Long-distance commuting ‘FIFO’ families: The work-family interface' (chapter, 2023) and 'Controlling fatigue risk in safety-critical workplaces' (2017). With over 320 citations, her work has influenced organisational strategies for improving outcomes in high-risk industries. She currently holds the position of Vice President for the Society for Industrial and Organisational Psychology Australia (SIOPA) for FY2025/26.
