Andreas Stenling

Andreas Stenling serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Psychology at Umeå University, Sweden. His academic profile spans work and organizational psychology, health psychology, and sports psychology. He actively contributes to multiple research ecosystems through affiliations with Umeå University's CoLeadR Research Group, AI and society Group, Sport physical activity and health psychology Group, and Work organisation and society Group.

Professor Stenling's research program centers on four interconnected domains: leadership-work environment-health relationships; physical activity-health connections; sport psychology (including injury prevention and mental health); and motivational processes across life contexts. His interdisciplinary approach bridges organizational behavior, public health, and sports science, employing longitudinal designs, randomized controlled trials, and innovative real-time assessment methods to generate actionable insights for improving workplace well-being and athletic performance.

Recent publications (2024-2025) reveal strong emphasis on applied research with societal impact, particularly in occupational health interventions, cancer rehabilitation, and youth sports development. His work consistently examines psychological mechanisms underlying health behaviors, using advanced methodologies like ecological momentary assessment and latent profile analysis to capture dynamic processes in natural settings.

Professor Stenling maintains robust research funding through multiple active projects spanning 2019-2029, including investigations into remote work dynamics, leadership development, sport injury prevention, and mental health interventions. His collaborative approach involves partnerships across disciplines and institutions, ensuring comprehensive resources for student training and research infrastructure development.

Through Umeå University's research groups, he fosters an environment where students explore intersections of technology, human behavior, and health. Current initiatives like the WAYA-2 wilderness program for young cancer patients and youth sports interventions provide practical training grounds for emerging researchers, emphasizing real-world problem solving and societal contribution.
