Orientation: Aspects of religion and spirituality are now being infused into the experience of work. The key to this is understanding how religion and spirituality affect individual and organisational functioning.Research purpose: This study investigated the influence of career adaptability on workplace spirituality and employee health. In this study, employee health refers to mental and physical health.Motivation for the study: This study’s context was the South African public service noted to be undergoing change affecting employees. Strategies that assist employees in promoting mental and physical health are needed.Research approach/design and method: Quantitative data were gathered through a self-administered questionnaire, and 214 teachers took part in this study. Simple linear regression and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to make meaning of the data. Respondents of the study were teachers in rural high schools of South Africa.Main findings: The results indicate that workplace spirituality significantly influences mental and physical health. Furthermore, career adaptability moderates the relationship between workplace spirituality and employee health.Practical/managerial implications: Given the positive role that workplace spirituality has on employee health, that is, mental and physical health, we advocate for some interventions. This could be in the form of employee-friendly policies. Furthermore, training can assist in developing a heightened sense of individual and organisational workplace spirituality.Contribution/value-add: Paying attention to how employees develop workplace spirituality and career adaptability can encourage positive behaviours around employee health.

“…This research extends such empirical focus by placing importance on constructs such as organizational citizenship behaviors and workplace social support for health-related outcomes such as employee mental health. This highlights ongoing calls that seek to understand the role and interaction between individual and organizational factors and their effect on employee health outcomes (Chinyamurindi, 2019;Joubert & Hay, 2019).…”

“…The focus appears to be centered on paying attention to the individual and organizational factors and how they help employees experience better health (Chinyamurindi, 2019;Shava & Chinyamurindi, 2021). In essence, at the core, there is a need to address contingencies that affect work and health outcomes (Joubert & Hay, 2019) as stressors and threats to employee productivity and performance (Montani & Dagenais-Desmaraias, 2018). In turn, this can potentially affect how public service employees provide a critical service to the public (Kanyane, 2019;Shava & Chinyamurindi, 2021).…”

Objective: The paper explores the mediating effect of workplace social support on the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior and employee mental health amongst public service employees in South Africa. Methods:A survey approach was utilized amongst a sample of 289 conveniently selected public service employees in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Results:The results confirm that a direct relationship exists between organizational citizenship behavior and employee mental health. Further, the association is made significant only through the mediation effect of workplace social support. Discussion:The study focuses on the importance of intra-organizational behaviors such as organizational citizenship in promoting employee mental health aspects. Such a focus becomes essential, especially when the South African public service is noted to be in a state of flux and often affects employee work behaviors, including their health. The findings heighten focus on the importance of developing behaviors such as those that promote organizational citizenship coupled with efforts related to workplace social support. In essence, by serving others within the workplace and the entire organization, employees contribute to their mental health. The findings are a valuable precursor to interventions that assist not only the organization but also employees.

“…Resilience intervention programs, in particular, have been developed in different contexts in the general population and have generally been associated with positive health outcomes ( Calitz, 2018 ). For example, resilience intervention programs implemented within academic contexts in the USA, Iran, and South Africa were found to be beneficial for emotional resilience among children ( Stallard et al, 2005 ); emotional intelligence of adolescents ( Adibsereshki et al, 2019 ); and constructive adjustment to challenges for teachers ( Joubert and Hay, 2019 ), respectively. Furthermore, individuals with a history of trauma and adverse childhood experiences post resilience intervention program participation, demonstrated new strengths and created and used interpersonal relationships as resources to buffer consequences of trauma ( Davis and Paster, 2000 ; Chandler et al, 2015 ).…”

Resilience-focused programs advocate nurturing positive adoptive traits to inform prevention and intervention efforts. Considering that no resilience intervention programs have been developed specifically for at-risk youth in correctional centers in Eswatini, the authors developed a program with this focus through a combination of literature review and earlier empirical research with correctional officers and youth in a correctional center in Eswatini. This study aimed to evaluate the program through exploration and description of experiences of at-risk youth in a correctional center in Eswatini regarding the program. A purposive sample of 16 youths in a correctional center in Eswatini participated in a World Café, and data were analyzed thematically. Three themes were identified: Positive outcomes of participation, challenges encountered in the program, and recommendations for the program.
