The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Factors Affecting Illness

When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Work-Family Interface Research
  • Human Resources Management

Background:

  • Work resources like schedule control and supervisor support are crucial for managing the work-family interface.
  • Previous research faced challenges in conclusively determining the impact of these work resources due to data and design limitations.
  • Understanding the effects of organizational interventions on employee well-being and work-life balance remains a key area of study.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To rigorously evaluate the effects of a workplace initiative (STAR) on work resources and the work-family interface.
  • To determine if targeted training for supervisors and prompts for employees can improve work-life balance.
  • To investigate the impact of organizational changes on employee-perceived work-family conflict, family time adequacy, and work resources.

Main Methods:

  • A group-randomized trial was conducted in an information technology workplace.
  • The STAR initiative involved training supervisors on supporting employees' personal lives and prompting employees to adjust work times and locations.
  • Data were collected to assess changes in work-family conflict, family time adequacy, schedule control, supervisor support, work hours, and job demands.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements were observed in employees' work-family conflict and family time adequacy.
  • Larger positive changes were noted in schedule control and supervisor support for family and personal life.
  • No evidence suggested an increase in work hours or perceived job demands due to the intervention.

Conclusions:

  • The STAR intervention effectively enhanced key work resources and positively influenced the work-family interface.
  • The findings demonstrate that deliberate organizational changes can yield measurable benefits for employees' work-life balance.
  • Subgroup analyses indicated that employees more vulnerable to work-family conflict experienced greater benefits from the intervention.
