Three electronic databases were searched. Eleven eligible articles were extracted, and quality assessed. Findings were integrated through narrative synthesis, highlighting clear methodological issues around conceptualizing, and measuring coping strategies and burnout with agreed upon tools. This review found no convincing evidence to suggest coping strategies have a meaningful relationship with burnout in emergency workers, questioning the evidence base for psychological interventions focusing on modifying coping strategies to target burnout. To understand the true impact of coping strategies on burnout, more longitudinal designs, and an agreed, validated measure for coping is needed.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"201 - 225"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41873260","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}

To this end, we surveyed 330 workers over the age of 55 in a U.S. Midwestern state. Results of partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis showed that the COVID-19-related stressors (i.e., job insecurity, job demands) are related to lower work engagement, increased turnover intent, and presenteeism behavior. The practical and theoretical implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"254 - 273"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42568152","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}

We describe the evidence defining and evaluating introversion, prevalence of introversion across groups, and strategies for promoting workplace inclusion of introverts. We searched MEDLINE®, Embase, and PsycINFO up to February 11, 2021. Of 2,724 records, 21 studies were included. Introversion definitions were generally negative and dated. Robust prevalence data were unavailable, and no studies aimed to test strategies for promoting workplace inclusion of introversion. Nevertheless, literature suggests that employees who identify with modern definitions of introversion may benefit from individualized workplace strategies such as flexible working environments, work/home-life boundaries, varied team composition, provision of social support, and relaxation training. Further empirical studies in the industrial setting with robust designs using modernized personality definitions are warranted to support the development of effective strategies to increase inclusion of different personalities in the workplace.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"165 - 187"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47620808","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}

Structural equation modeling (SEM) analyses among Norwegian faculty members (<i>N</i> = 11,533) suggest that needs differ in importance to the two work-related health outcomes. Multi-group analyses suggest gender differences in the level of these needs and in their degree of relationship with positive/negative work-related health. Among women, the strongest predictors of positive and negative work-related health are work engagement and autonomy, respectively. Among men, the strongest predictors of positive and negative work-related health are meaning and social community, respectively. Although significant differences were found in the level of the psychosocial needs across different university groups (faculty, PhD students, administrative/technical staff), their predictive value for how work affects their health positively or negatively is basically equivalent across groups. Study findings raise two implications: (1) the mechanisms and characteristics of the work environment that promote <i>versus</i> detract from health in the university setting do not appear to be two sides of the same coin and suggest different sets of interventions for improving employee health, and (2) gender differences should be taken into account in designing interventions to improve health and well-being in universities.</p>","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"103-126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11249024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45412350","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

OB was defined as “experiencing an acknowledgment of one’s talents, interests and experiences, and finding whole acceptance of one’s self expression of these.” Using a sample of 141 employees, twenty-seven OB items were adapted from three sources: prior quantitative work, prior qualitative work, and a survey on Diversity and Inclusion (American Institute for Certified Professional Accountants). Factor analytic support was found for a four-scale, 16-item OB measure. The four scales were labeled Be Myself (seven items), Acceptance (four items), Value Diversity (three items) and Connection (two items). Additional open-item analyses corroborated the validity of these scales. All four OB scales demonstrated sufficient reliability and distinctiveness from each other. These results validated the OB definition. After controlling for demographic and organizational variables, Be Myself had a significant impact on productivity and Acceptance had a significant impact on intent to stay. Future research testing this OB scale is needed, given the recent changes in the workplace, including remote work, retaining current staff, and hiring for unfilled positions.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"38 1","pages":"226 - 253"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2023-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49209392","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}

The sample consisted of 449 miners from three coal mines in Henan Pingdingshan Coal Industry Group. The results showed that job insecurity negatively predicted safety compliance, and emotional exhaustion and mind wandering played a chain mediation effect in the relationship between job insecurity and safety compliance.
