“…Research by environmental and health professionals focuses on the associations between environmental exposures and health and safety (Bruyneel et al, 2022; O'Lenick et al, 2019). It is important to note that these observed consequences of work environment exposures may be modified by organizational and individual factors (Malik et al, 2012; O'Lenick et al, 2019; Peters et al, 2022; Smith et al, 2015), and occupational health managers are entrusted with the primary responsibility of such management (Anger et al, 2018; Batson et al, 2022; Spyropoulos et al, 2021). Finally, health promoters work to uncover the interactions between environmental risk factors, organizational approaches, and individual factors from a health promotion ecology perspective to improve well‐being.…”

The health and well‐being of migrant workers struggling to make ends meet are being compromised, especially with the uncertainty of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The aim is to analyze how organizational empowerment promotes health and well‐being from an applied psychological perspective, taking into account the shaping role of individual vulnerability. Links between theory and practice will be established to achieve equitable health and well‐being. The underlying mechanism by which organizational empowerment mitigated workplace‐induced adverse outcomes was validated in the analysis of construction workers (n = 966). In addition, individual characteristics, namely, excitability, low perceptual threshold, control, and knowledge, attitude, and practice, were identified as critical factors, as well‐being consequences vary from person to person. Moderating effect analysis showed that high excitability enhanced the association between work environment exposure and health and well‐being. Control and knowledge, attitude, and practice have opposite effects. Moreover, the dual effects of the low perception threshold are verified, that is, facing the work environment produces more negative consequences, whereas perceiving more resources stimulates more positive consequences. Overall, the research provides a clearer dialectical view of vulnerability, contributing wisdom toward accurate management based on empowerment theory, which lays a solid foundation for bridging gaps in health and well‐being.

“…Based on the concept of OHW, the health and work impact survey (3 items) was identified from physiological health, psychological health, and job satisfaction with reference to research by Spyropoulos et al. (2021). The response measures survey (3 items) was referenced by the study of Zong and Kong (2021) and determined to be investigated from intensity, forms, and persistence.…”

Establishing an index for monitoring occupational health and well‐being of coal mines: Consideration of individual characteristics

et al. 2023

It is crucial to enhance employee occupational health and well‐being (OHW) for the well‐run and prosperity of the industry, but there is very limited knowledge on the assessment of miners' well‐being that differs from person to person. Within this study, a new more direct method, as well as an instrument was constructed to measure the OHW through data analysis based on a representative sample of coal miners (N = 1037). Initially, the causal pathway of job stress and health consequences was characterized by the driving force‐pressure‐state‐impact‐response (DPSIR) model. The OHW index was represented by hazards, vulnerability, and severity through the data envelopment analysis and stochastic frontier approach method. The result was that the severity of the consequences of inadequate organizational response was the dominant factor. 75% of employees with poor OHW work in mining, and digging areas, including various drivers and support workers. This study provides an innovative and complete description of the interaction mechanisms among job stress, job burnout, and health outcomes. It demonstrates that a three‐level assessment method, namely hazards‐vulnerability‐severity, can effectively identify hierarchical management points. We provide metrics, objective data, and evidence‐based recommendations on stress and health management for miners.

“…Some scholars have used different methods to comprehensively select the performance evaluation indicators for safety management systems. For example, Spyropoulos et al, [6] introduced a new hybrid indicator for monitoring and evaluating the occupational health and well-being of the rail sector's workforce. Singh and Misra, [9] developed a decision-making method and identified the critical indicators for assessing the safety performance of the workforce in the Indian construction industry.…”

To evaluate the performance of the logistics safety standard system, we propose an evaluation framework based on the performance evaluation theory. First, we construct the performance evaluation indicator of the safety standard system for logistics enterprises. It is based on the existing performance evaluation indicator and combined with the construction goal of the logistics safety standard system. Second, we combine the triangular fuzzy number and prospect theory to determine the indicator state according to the characteristics of performance evaluation indicators. Then, we use the Choquet integral, fuzzy method, and Shapley value methods to evaluate the information, which considers the interaction of indicators. Third, we use the entropy and fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to determine the expert weight. The performance evaluation information of the logistic enterprise’s safety standard system is aggregated to obtain the assessment results. Finally, the proposed framework is validated by an example analysis. The results show that the proposed framework can be used to evaluate the performance of logistics enterprise safety standard systems.
