Though self-care among social services professionals is often encouraged, only recently have scholars begun to examine the self-care behaviors of child welfare workers. Despite plentiful research on the positive impact of self-care in reducing stress and burnout, limited research with child welfare workers shows only modest engagement in self-care practices. The present study used closed and open-ended survey responses to explore the type and frequency of self-care activities of a cohort of child welfare workers in Florida (n = 1006), and the impact of those activities on workers’ health and well-being, to include measures of burnout, secondary traumatic stress, job satisfaction, and work-life balance. Workers’ responses to open-ended survey questions were analyzed for themes across physical, emotional, and spiritual self-care domains. Chi-square tests determined differences in physical and emotional health ratings for workers who regularly engaged in self-care practices. Linear regression results showed that physical and motional self-care practices were associated with workers’ well-being. The overwhelming participation in self-care activities among child welfare workers and their impact on their health and well-being suggests the importance of an organizational approach to self-care and well-being in the workplace.Keywords: Child welfare workforceself-carehealth and well-beingburnoutwork-life balancejob satisfaction Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by The Florida Institute of Child Welfare (Project #037181).","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136376371","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In response, supportive mental health services, including a call/text support line, group workshops, and a self-paced online program, were offered to educators. At the end of the use of services, the mental health providers compiled notes about the educators’ experiences. The notes from these services and follow up surveys were analyzed qualitatively, comparing the experience of pandemic teaching across two academic years. Results indicate that initially, educators were overwhelmed by the rapid adjustments required, but tried to meet student needs. As the pandemic continued, stressors changed to feeling unsupported impacts on their personal lives, and thoughts of quitting. As educators attempt to navigate classrooms and lives that have been disrupted by the pandemic, they may benefit from both community support and systemic changes as well as ongoing mental health care to support their well-being.Keywords: Educator well-being and mental healthpandemic teaching Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis project was sponsored by the Colorado Office of Behavioral Health; the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment through SAMHSA and FEMA; the Colorado State Legislature; and the Colorado Education Association.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135959727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Organizations, however, may also contribute to employees’ depression and sick leave by imposing a high workload. We therefore examined whether resource-providing supervisors may buffer the impact of employees’ workload on depression and subsequent sick leave. We analyzed longitudinal data from Germany of 276 employees in female-dominated industries and their 90 supervisors. The results of the multilevel analyses revealed that employees’ workload indirectly affected sick leave via an increase in depression, replicating existing evidence. If supervisors provided sufficient resources, this indirect effect vanished. Thus, organizations may counteract their contribution to employees’ depression and sick leave by assuring that supervisors provide sufficient resources.Keywords: Depressionsick leaveworkloadsupervisorresourcesmulti-level analysisjob demands-resources model Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, BPF, upon reasonable request.Notes1 Given that perceived or actual workload may be increased in the presence of depression, we excluded mild cases of depression at time 1 from the analyses (n = 17), in line with the suggestion of Zadow et al. (Citation2021). While for the simple mediation hypothesis (Hypothesis 1: γ = 0.276, p = 0.104) did not reach significance for the reduced sample, the results still support a moderation of the first pathway by resource-oriented leadership (Hypothesis 2: γ = –0.316, p = 0.039). Specifically, we found an indirect effect of employee workload on their sick leave via depression (Hypothesis 3) when the amount of resources provided by the supervisor is low (γ = 0.481, p = 0.026), but not when it is moderate (γ = 0.255, p = 0.116) or high (γ = 0.028, p = 0.889).Additional informationFundingThis study was supported by Grant F 2199 in the context of NEW OSH ERA (New and Emerging Risks in Occupational Safety and Health) within the European Commission Sixth Framework Programme (ERA-NET scheme).","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136060563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, identifying the factors of workers’ psychological health and staff retention on which organizations can act is therefore a crucial issue. The new integrative construct of virtuous organizational practices offers promising prospects to address this issue. The aims of this study were twofold. The first was to explore the relationships between virtuous organizational practices on the one hand, and employees’ need for recovery and turnover intentions on the other. The second was to test the mediating role of work ability between them. We conducted an empirical study with a sample of 521 individuals working in French organizations. Consistent with our assumptions, structural equation modeling revealed that virtuous organizational practices were negatively associated with employees’ need for recovery and turnover intentions. Resampling analyses showed that virtuous organizational practices could provide a protective effect by promoting work ability, which in turn could decrease the need for recovery and turnover intentions. Theoretical contributions, limitations, and practical implications are discussed.Keywords: Virtuous organizational practicesneed for recoveryturnover intentionwork ability Consent statementParticipants then signed an informed consent form.

Participants benefit from writing four times over a 20-minute period in which they are guided by written instructions to engage with a stressful work-specific experience cognitively and emotionally. However, the effectiveness varies for different groups, especially regarding baseline stress. Expressive writing had a more beneficial effect on individuals with lower resources and higher stress levels. Practical use cases in occupational health and human resource management are discussed.

The present study distributed a survey to Australian General Practitioners (primary care physicians), yielding a sample of 1,157 individuals. Participants were asked about their burnout and wellbeing levels, autonomy, personal values and value fulfillment, and professional diversification. Value fulfillment was moderately, negatively correlated with burnout (r = .53), with post-hoc tests noting each level of wellbeing was associated with a higher degree of value fulfillment. A hierarchical regression showed that value fulfillment predicted a further 10% of variance in burnout levels after controlling for professional autonomy and satisfaction. These results suggest value fulfillment may represent an important avenue for further theoretical and interventional research to prevent burnout and promote wellbeing. The results support a holistic, rather than professionally-bound, conceptualization of burnout.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135826757","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Millennial workforce psychology has been stereotyped over the years as a digitally proficient generation aiming for flexibility and the proverbial rebel who wants things according to their unique ways in the workplace. The research examined the Millennial workforce’s perceptions before, particularly during, and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The research highlights how the familiar viewpoints concerning the workers’ generation are gradually changing, especially during the post COVID-19 phase. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Millennial employees.
