dc.description.abstract |
There is growing interest in workplace health promotion programs and a recognition for the importance of including organizational level predictors (Zwetsloot & Leka, 2010). The concept of organizational climate is recognized as an important predictor of employee health and a reflection of the overarching environment, but it’s influence on the delivery and engagement in health promotion programs is not adequately understood. In response to this, the current study piloted a health climate scale consisting of 4 Factors and also tested the scale as part of a workplace health promotion performance framework. Results supported the 4 Factor health climate scale. As for the workplace health promotion performance framework, a significant partial mediation was found between heath climate, health promotion program attitudes, health climate preferences and willingness to participate in health behaviours at work on predicted health program engagement. |
