Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worksite wellness programs have historically focused on the modification of individual employee behavior (e.g., Shepard, 1981). Scholars have recently engaged in a discussion about the role the workplace environment plays in employee health behavior (e.g., Golaszewski, Allen, & Edington, 2008). The present correlational study contributes to this conversation by defining the relationship between employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and employees' perceptions of organizational health climate and its impact on employee health and work behaviors and attitudes; and by examining the extent to which variance in work and health behaviors may be accounted for by employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and by employees' perceptions of organizational health climate. Online and paper-based surveys were used to collect data from the employees (n = 621) at four organizations in the southeast United States. Study findings indicated that employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion were predictive of employee participation in wellness program activities. The study also found that employees' perceptions of organizational health climate were predictive of job satisfaction, job stress, and employee engagement. Overall, the results of this study confirm the importance of leadership support for health promotion and organizational health climate in the strategic development, management and continuation of workplace wellness. These findings have important implications for practice as employees' perceptions of leadership support for health promotion and employees' perceptions of organizational health climate were found to be key leverage points for employee participation in wellness activities and for employee health behavior change. Future research can extend these findings by continuing to bridge the organizational behavior, management, and human resource development research with the public health research on workplace wellness.

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: " This is the first research-based book to confront workplace issues facing nurses who have disabilities. It not only examines in depth their experiences, roadblocks to successful employment, and misperceptions surrounding them, but also provides viable solutions for creating positive attitudes towards them and a welcoming work environment that fosters hiring and retention. From the perspectives and actual voices of nurses with disabilities, nurse leaders, nurse administrators, and patients, the book identifies nurses with disabilities (including sensory, musculoskeletal, emotional, and mental health issues), discusses why they choose to leave nursing or hide their disabilities, and analyzes how their disabilities may influence career choices.

This book was released on 1997 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to demonstrate a relationship between employee participation in an employer -provided wellness program and enhanced job satisfaction. The Brayfield and Rothe Index of Job Satisfaction questionnaire was distributed to a control group of 28 employees, and an experimental group of 28 employees. The control group sample consisted of employees in a banking / investment corporation lacking a wellness program. The experimental group sample consisted of employees who utilized the on-site, corporate-sponsored, wellness program of another banking investment firm. Data were analyzed utilizing the t-test at a 0.05 level of significance. Data analysis was not significant at the 0.05 level, therefore the hypothesis was not accepted. Implications for further research in this area include additional studies utilizing samples more representative of the corporate population, and a tool for data collection that is more specific to job satisfaction and benefits satisfaction.

Download or read book The Effects of Mental Health and Physical Health on Job Satisfaction in the Mental Health Field written by Cara L. Metz and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores interrelationship among social support, demographic factors, mental and physical health and job satisfaction among mental health professionals. Past research of the impact of health in work among mental health professionals has focused on clinicians who directly provide mental health services to clients and focus on burnout (e.g., Farber & Heifetz, 1982). Little attention has been paid to the other mental health professionals who may also work as supervisors and administrators. This study aimed at investigating how different positions, years of experience, gender and social support would impact mental health professionals' physical health, mental health and job satisfaction. It was hypothesized that job satisfaction would be positively influenced by mental health and physical health which would be influenced by gender, years of experience, position, and social support. Mental health professionals from three local mental health counseling centers in a Midwest state were recruited to participate in the study. Instruments used included the Duke Health Profile (Parkerson, Broadhead, & Tse, 1990), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (Zimet, Dahlem, Zimet, & Farley, 1988), an Adapted Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, Hackman and Lawler's (1971) questions assessing job satisfaction, and a demographic questionnaire. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to examine the hypothesized relationship among the demographic factors, social support, mental and physical health and job satisfaction. The results from the study were mixed. Not all of the variables studied affected mental health or physical health. Social support was found to influence both physical and mental health; however years-of- experience was only related to mental health. Neither gender of position was found to have significant relationship to mental and physical health. The study found a strong path from social support to mental health, and ultimately to job satisfaction, suggesting the mediating role of mental health between predicting variables and job satisfaction. It is also noted that physical health, though not having a direct significant relationship to job satisfaction, did have indirect influence to job satisfaction through its significant relationship with mental health. The findings of this study that social support and mental health play an important role in helping professionals' job satisfaction indicate the importance of maintaining psychological well-being and providing supportive environment to workers in mental health agencies. Counselor educators could apply this finding to incorporate training about self-care and promoting social interaction and support in the curriculum.

Book excerpt: The current investigation was designed as an evaluation of a worksite health promotion program with the goal of examining its effectiveness in terms of physical and attitudinal changes over the course of a 12-month evaluation. The study examined variables from a variety of disciplines including health psychology, vocational psychology, occupational health, and positive psychology. Using a pretest-posttest design, employees completed measures of job satisfaction, career optimism, perceived stress, optimism, absenteeism, and Presenteeism (on the job productivity). In addition, health screening information was compared from the onset to the completion of the evaluation to determine if health factors improved at the organizational level over time. Results indicated that employees did not significantly improve in terms of health indicators (e.g., cholesterol levels, weight loss), levels of job satisfaction, career optimism, or perceived stress. In addition, results revealed no significant relationship between initial optimism levels and either health or psychological outcomes. Potential explanations for the lack of significant results is discussed including the economic climate in which the evaluation occurred, as well as cultural and organizational issues that may have contributed to a lack of improvement in wellness.
