“…He later widened the perspective (Antonovsky, 1987) with sense of coherence also conceived at the family level. Recent research shows that the sense of coherence concept and measurement also can be applied in organizations such as a workplace (Bauer & Jenny, 2012;Bringsén, 2010;Bringsén, Andersson & Ejlertsson, 2009;Forbech & Hanson, 2013;Graeser, 2011;Mayer & Krause, 2011;Mayer & Boness, 2011;Nilsson, Andersson, Ejlertsson, & Troein, 2012;Orvik & Axelsson, 2012;Vogt, Jenny & Bauer, 2013 Research that examines and discusses salutogenesis and the sense of coherence at a societal level is sparse. Braun-Lewensohn and Sagy (2011) report findings from studies using an instrument adapted for societal sense of coherence (Sense of Community Coherence), which contains seven questions describing how the individual experiences the society in terms of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness.…”

“…And this was achieved through provision of enough resources and facilitation especially in both the teaching and learning process. Therefore, management must play its role within an educational environment to attain excellent academic performance so as to change the communities under which it operates (AbdulJalal et al, 2013;Altindis, 2011;Bauer and Jenny, 2012;Cameron, 1978 Guidetti et al, 2015;Jafarzadeh, 2015;Jenaabadi and Zare Javan, 2014;Kafraj et al, 2013;lee et al, 2014;lejeune and Vas, 2009). In Florida Coastal University, staff performance and job satisfaction was attained through use of staff development even though some challenges still affected staff morale for instance salary inequality, transparency from both senior and top officials, lack of participation in decision making, quest for more engagement (Williams, 2010).…”

This study gives insights on the organizational health practices applied in Ugandan universities of the central region. The paper examined four subdimensions of the construct through the use of the data obtained from eight hundred twenty (N=820) randomly selected sample of volunteers from the six universities that have been in existence for the last fifteen (15) years. The data were gathered using a 25-items adopted and adapted from the previous studies reviewed, a likert scale ranging from strongly disagree to strongly agree (1 -5) was used based on by Keller and Price conception of the construct. Confirmatory Factor analysis a component of structural equation modelling was employed to analyze the four subdimensions of the construct organizational health. The research findings of the empirical cross section survey reflected that there is a relationship between the four factor subdimensions; culture and climate, control and coordination, innovation/invention and accountability even though they are all distinct in nature. Meanwhile, accountability as one of the construct was eliminated from the results in figure 2 due to lower scores in the average variance explained (AVE). The results further exhibited that the four subdimensions of organizational health are reliable and valid measurements of the construct. The data generated was deemed appropriate for the study since structure equation modelling requires a big sample, and fitted the model due to the fact that all the parameter estimates were met. lastly, the data was analysed through the use of confirmatory factor analysis and the study findings generated are an extension of the previous study findings since there was no similar study done in Uganda especially on higher education using this methodology. The study has greater implications to managers towards improvement of university staff performance and institutional transformation.

“…Ce glissement d'une préoccupation de santé publique, s'intéressant plus spécifiquement aux risques d'exposition des populations aux agents toxiques et pathogènes, vers la santé au travail est critiqué par plusieurs auteurs (Clot, 2010a(Clot, , 2010b(Clot, , 2014Laoukili, 2015 ;Lhuilier et Litim, 2009 ;Miossec et Clot, 2011 ;Raybois, 2010 ;Rouat et Sarnin, 2013 ;Sarnin, Caroly et Douillet, 2011 ;Volkoff, 1999). On voit alors apparaître des types d'interventions « hybrides », qui se concentrent à la fois sur l'identification des risques pour les supprimer et sur le développement des capacités et des ressources existantes et potentielles (Bauer et Jenny, 2012 ;Nielsen et coll., 2010a ;Tatu, 2015). Plusieurs auteurs soulignent également l'intérêt d'utiliser une approche pluriniveau dans l'intervention (Lamontagne, 2007a ;Martin et coll., 2014 ;Mellor et Webster, 2013).…”
