Abstract This study explored work-related lived experiences of domestic workers in the Ghanaian context. 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.

Abstract Abrupt changes in employment status associated with the COVID-19 pandemic can exacerbate maladaptive coping strategies—including substance use behavior. This online study assessed self-reported increases in substance use (alcohol, cigarettes, marijuana, and opioid pain medication) during the initial COVID-19 period, identifying how current employment status was associated with increases in substance use behavior. Individuals working from home and outside of home, and those unemployed due to the pandemic reported increases in alcohol, cigarette, and marijuana use. Identifying work-status-related increases in substance use during the COVID-19 pandemic is necessary as it relates to uncertain economic impact and mitigating virus risk.

Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has affected millions of people worldwide both physically and mentally. 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.

Abstract Background While epidemiological studies demonstrate that the risk of suicide is determined by several individual factors, research analyzing the relationships between suicidal ideation, work-related conditions and burnout are limited. 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.
摘要背景虽然流行病学研究表明自杀风险由几个个体因素决定，但分析自杀意念、工作条件和倦怠之间关系的研究有限。因此，本研究的目的是通过探索倦怠在工作压力源、倦怠和自杀意念之间的中介作用，更好地了解这些变量之间的关系。更具体地说，我们的第一个假设表明，倦怠与自杀意念呈正相关。其次，我们认为工作压力源与倦怠和自杀意念呈正相关。最后，我们的第三个假设旨在调查倦怠在多大程度上介导了工作压力源和自杀意念之间的关系。方法本研究以490名兽医为样本，与普通人群相比，这是一个职业群体，其倦怠和自杀率较高。他们的七种特定工作压力源被考虑在内（工作量、情绪需求、与客户的问题、与同事的问题、经济担忧、消极的工作与家庭互动以及承担高责任），并用兽医压力源量表（VSI）进行测量。使用Maslasch Burnout Inventory General Suvey（MBI-GS）对倦怠进行评估，其中三个项目测量了自杀意念。结果相关分析表明，工作压力源、倦怠和自杀意念之间存在显著相关性。结构方程模型很好地拟合了倦怠介导工作压力源和自杀意念之间关系的模型。因此，研究结果通过强调工作压力源引起的倦怠的作用为文献做出了贡献，从而更好地理解了自杀意念。

Abstract The role of lifestyle on mental health in the ambulance worker population is unclear. The aim of this paper is to explore the role and impact of lifestyle on the mental health of ambulance workers within the United Kingdom (UK). Participants (N = 160) were recruited from 4 NHS ambulance trusts in England. Data were collected on lifestyle factors (sleep, physical activity and alcohol use) and mental health outcomes (trauma, anxiety, depression and stress); these were assessed by use of various questionnaires including validated measures. Sleep was shown to be the single biggest unique and significant predictor to all mental health outcomes. Suggestions for future research and intervention are considered.

Finally, Dr. Dale Masi has written a comprehensive book that addresses a critical deficiency in the Employee Assistance (EA) knowledge base—the need for a definitive and evidential resource that documents the history and evolution of Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) in the United States (U.S.) from the early beginnings through 2020. This book details a chronologically accurate and authoritative narrative that begins with early antecedents of EAP and concludes with future directions for the field. Historical trends and influences that occurred throughout the evolution of EAPs in the U.S. are also documented, such as:

Abstract This research aimed to study how two regulatory modes called assessment (i.e., tendency in appraising goal-directed means) and locomotion (i.e., action-driven orientation) were associated with work engagement (WE). According to the job demands-resources model, it was hypothesized that assessment and locomotion were indirectly associated with WE mediated respectively by job demands and by job and personal resources. A sample of 257 social workers participated in the study by completing a questionnaire. Results suggested that social workers higher in assessment tended to experience lower WE because of an augmented appraisal of job demands, while those higher in locomotion reported a higher WE through triggering job and personal resources.

Abstract Five electronic databases were searched using the key words “Employee Assistance.” “research” and “evaluation” for articles published from 2010 to 2019 along with a manual search of the two prominent journals in the Employee Assistance field. 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.

As we look back on 2020, the tumultuous beginning of a new decade, we recognize the stress and trauma faced by workplaces and working adults and their families throughout the world. 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.

Abstract This study aims to investigate the relationships between the planned behavior, burnout, overall job satisfaction, and organizational citizenship behavior of nurses in three public hospitals in Iraq. The methodology included descriptive statistics, PLS-based-SEM, and mediation analysis. An assessment of data collected from a survey based on an interview with 428 nurses participating showed that the attitude of the nurses toward their behavior significantly positively affected their burnout and overall job satisfaction, while their subjective norm and perceived behavioral control significantly positively influenced burnout. The burnout experienced by the nurses significantly negatively impacted their citizenship behavior, while overall; their job satisfaction significantly positively affected their citizenship behavior. Though the nurses’ burnout partially mediated the relationships between their planned behavior and citizenship behavior, their overall job satisfaction partially mediated the association between their subjective norm/perceived behavioral control and citizenship behavior.
