1Department of Social Medicine, Care and Public Health Institute, Faculty of Health, Medicine and Life Sciences, Maastricht University, Maastricht, the Netherlands (Ms van de Voort, Dr de Rijk) and Institute of Medicine/Epidemiology and Social Medicine, The Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Gothenburg, Sweden (Dr Hensing, Dr Bertilsson).
Objective:
Manager characteristics (personal, work-, and competence-related) were investigated as determinants of managerial preventive actions (MPAs) in relation to common mental disorders (CMDs) among employees.
Methods:
A web survey (n = 2921) among Swedish managers measured diverse managerial characteristics and two types of MPAs: reviewing assignments and work situation (MPA-review); talking about CMDs at the work place (MPA-talk).
Results:
MPA-review was reported by 50% and MPA-talk by 57% of managers. Characteristics that related to more MPAs were female gender, workplace offering lectures on CMDs, workplace offering stress counseling, being responsible for the work environment, management training on CMDs, and more than 10 years of managerial experience (MPA-talk only).
Conclusion:
Managers who are female, have had training on CMDs, and work for organizations paying attention to CMD prevention initiate MPAs more often.
