Using a qualitative approach, we conducted in-depth interviews with 14 domestic workers in Accra to develop insights into how various characteristics associated with domestic workers’ jobs shape their psychological well-being and how they thrive in the face of their experiences. The study revealed that domestic workers face exploitation and abuse, have no written formal work contracts, and enter that kind of work as a means to addressing existential needs. It was further observed that the work situations of domestic workers expose them to potential psychological distress, and many of them use emotion regulation to cope with abuse and exploitation on the job. However, the study also found evidence that domestic workers derive satisfaction from their job when they are given fair employment conditions. These findings suggest the need for policies and interventions targeted at providing psychosocial support and regulating the domestic work sector to safeguard the health and wellbeing of domestic workers.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"36 1","pages":"309 - 334"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15555240.2021.1941068","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47547210","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 resource-strapped countries, high levels of psychological distress caused by fear of getting infected with the deadly disease has been observed in densely populated communities and among frontline workers (e.g., healthcare workers and retail employees), who provide services without wearing the appropriate personal protective equipment. This study assessed the level of psychological distress among bank employees, who are also essential frontline workers. Data were collected from 120 bank employees by using a predesigned survey questionnaire consisting of Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) questions. Nine out of ten respondents indicated that they were likely to experience mild to severe psychological distress, and 86.6% felt vulnerable to having close contact with a carrier of the rapidly spreading COVID-19 virus. The Chi-square test results indicated that married employees (36.37 vs 32.16) and those assigned in bank branches (36.34 vs 33.25) had a higher likelihood of experiencing psychological distress than those who were not married and those assigned in head offices, respectively. To address this issue, health policymakers and bank regulatory authorities must develop mental health interventions, treatments, and guidelines specific for bank employees.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"36 1","pages":"238 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15555240.2021.1930021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49500006","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}

Aims Therefore, the aim of the present study was to better understand the relationship between work-related stressors, burnout and suicidal ideation by exploring the mediating role of burnout between these variables. More specifically, our first hypothesis suggested that burnout is positively associated with suicidal ideation. Secondly, we suggested that work-related stressors are positively related to burnout and suicidal ideation. Finally, our third hypothesis aimed to investigate to what extend burnout mediates the relationship between work-related stressors and suicidal ideation. Methods The study was conducted with a sample of 490 veterinarians, a professional group that presents high rates of burnout and suicide in comparison to the general population. Seven of their specific work-related stressors were taken into account (workload, emotional demands, issues with clients, issues with coworkers, financial worries, negative work-home interactions and having high responsibilities) and measured with the Veterinary Stressors Inventory (VSI). Burnout was assessed with the Maslasch Burnout Inventory-General Suvey (MBI-GS), and three items measured suicidal ideations. Results Correlations analyses indicated significant associations between work-related stressors, burnout and suicidal ideation. Structural equation modeling indicated good fit for models suggesting that burnout mediated the relationship between work-related stressors and suicidal ideation. Thus, results contribute to the literature by underlining the role of burnout induced by work-related stressors, which offers a better understanding of suicidal ideation.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"36 1","pages":"125 - 145"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15555240.2021.1897605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45895275","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}

Twenty-six evaluations were found which were categorized using Macdonald’s evaluation typology into four groups: needs assessments (n = 1), program development [case study] (n = 3), outcome (n = 15) and process (n = 7). There were as many international as American studies (n = 13). While most evaluations were conducted by organizations with internal models (n = 9) they were not the majority as there were eight evaluations examining external EAPs and five that examined hybrid internal/external models. A broad range of methodologies were employed that demonstrated that the EAPs that were reviewed produced positive outcomes including both saving organizations money as well as in producing positive changes. What was also witnessed during this time period was a greater use of standardized tests to collect data led by a new instrument developed during the decade, the Workplace Outcome Suite, though several studies still did not use any type of standardized assessment tool in their evaluation process. The article concludes by comparing changes that have occurred with reported peer-reviewed EAP evaluation over the past 40 years.","PeriodicalId":45287,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health","volume":"36 1","pages":"105 - 124"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/15555240.2021.1902336","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44201738","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 some ways, 2020 has sped by quickly, given all that we have experienced. Yet, simultaneously, the accumulated trauma contributes to a sense of a very slow-moving year. Either way, we cannot minimize the impact on the ever-changing world of work and on workplace behavioral health and well-being. The Journal of Workplace Behavioral Health has always held a special place in its mission and core publishing goals to highlight and bring empirical attention to the work being conducted in global workplaces and the translation of research into practice in diverse workplace settings. In 2020, the Journal continued to grow as we received 136 manuscripts, which is nearly double that of our previous year. We also experienced a dramatic increase in articles written by scholars from around the globe, which provided many useful and diverse perspectives on our field and the practice of workplace behavioral health. The Journal published four issues in 2020, which comprised 16 articles altogether. We wish to express our gratitude to all of the peer reviewers for the Journal who are listed on the following pages. This year has been especially challenging for scholars and practitioners given the additional factors of a global pandemic, political and social unrest, and continued stressors exacerbated by climate change. We are very grateful of our reviewers’ and Editorial Board members’ time and efforts as they help safeguard the scholarly integrity of our publication by helping us make informed decisions about manuscripts, ensuring that our journal meets high-quality scientific standards.
