Download or read book Wellness and Job Satisfaction written by Todd Preston Riddle and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed methods study examined the relationship between personal wellness and job satisfaction, as well as the effectiveness of a workplace wellness program on personal wellness. A survey was completed by eighty-two professional K-12 educators from a single public school district, and five of the eighty-two participated in interviews. While an individual's perceived wellness was reported higher than what he or she reported the wellness program could offer, the workplace wellness program, job satisfaction, and personal wellness were linked. Participation in the wellness program was positively associated with physical wellness (r=.26) significant at the 0.05 level, occupational wellness (r=.31) significant at the 0.01 level, and job satisfaction (r=.39) significant at the 0.01 level. K-12 teachers identified emotional wellness as the most important facet of wellness, and therefore, wellness programs should contain a large emotional component to be effective. Further, the greatest stressor for K-12 teachers was found to be a lack of time, and the greatest limiting factor for wellness program participation was a lack of time as well. This study expanded upon the limited body of research available on the effectiveness of wellness programs in public schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American workforce is changing, creating new challenges for employers to provide occupational health services to meet the needs of employees. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) workforce is highly skilled and competitive and employees frequently work under intense pressure to ensure mission success. The Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer at NASA requested that the Institute of Medicine review its occupational health programs, assess employee awareness of and attitude toward those programs, recommend options for future worksite preventive health programs, and ways to evaluate their effectiveness. The committee's findings show that although NASA has a history of being forward-looking in designing and improving health and wellness programs, there is a need to move from a traditional occupational health model to an integrated, employee-centered program that could serve as a national model for both public and private employers to emulate and improve the health and performance of their workforces.
