Abstract

Background: Schools are both learning environments for students and workplaces for faculty. Recognizing the role of organizational factors in staff health in school environments, the study aimed to explore which factors, including transformational leadership, teachers' perceived management support and HPS accreditation awards, were most associated with promoting a healthy lifestyle for teachers.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken of 137 elementary schools in 2014, involving 433 directors and 2090 teachers. Data were collected using an anonymous structured questionnaire. Hierarchical linear modeling was used to analyze both teacher- and school-level factors associated with health-promoting lifestyles.

Results: There was a significant positive correlation between teachers' overall health-promoting lifestyle profile (HPLP-II) scores and both perceived management support (coefficient = .98, p < .001) and transformational leadership (coefficient = .38, p = .039). All 6 HPLP-II subscales also showed significant positive correlations with perceived management support (coefficients .12-.24, p < .001).

Conclusion: Supporting a healthy working atmosphere and strong principal transformational leadership are keys to enhancing teachers' health-promoting lifestyles. Future research could explore how transformational leadership and management support influence teachers' health behaviors and identify effective strategies and interventions.

健康促进学校的组织因素与教师健康生活方式之间的关系：多层次分析

背景：学校既是学生的学习环境，也是教师的工作场所。认识到组织因素在学校环境中对教职员工健康的作用，本研究旨在探讨哪些因素（包括变革型领导力、教师感知到的管理支持和 HPS 认证奖项）与促进教师健康的生活方式最为相关：方法：2014 年对 137 所小学进行了横断面研究，涉及 433 名校长和 2090 名教师。采用匿名结构式问卷收集数据。采用层次线性模型分析与促进健康的生活方式相关的教师因素和学校因素：结果：教师促进健康生活方式的总体评分（HPLP-II）与感知到的管理支持之间存在明显的正相关（系数=0.98，P=0.9）：支持健康的工作氛围和强有力的校长变革型领导力是提高教师促进健康生活方式的关键。今后的研究可以探讨变革型领导和管理支持如何影响教师的健康行为，并确定有效的策略和干预措施。
