“…Gerade Gesundheit zeigt sich als akzeptanzkritisches Gut [23], Gesundheitsförderung kann als Eindringen in die Privatsphäre des Individuums gesehen werden. Ein weiterer Aspekt dieses Themas können auch die oft fehlende interne Kommunikation [26] und die nicht an die Bedürfnisse der Mitarbeiter angepassten Nutzenbedingungen von BGF sein [17,18,19].…”

“…Concerning the health status no consistent relation is reported. Whereas some studies showed evidence that people with a good health status participate more often in health measures others refer the opposite [9,16,18,19]. However, persons who generally show a healthoriented behavior are more likely to attend [11,12,20].…”

Background: Health behavior is presumed to be influenced by organizational factors. This study analyzes how workplace characteristics influence health behavior in terms of participation at health measures. Methods: Employees of the German Federal Ministry of Defense were surveyed at the beginning (January / February 2015) and at the end (June 2015) of the trial phase of workplace health promotion (WHP). Differences in participation of characteristic groups were calculated using Pearson's Chi 2-Test and T-Test, chances of participation were estimated using multilevel logistic regression. Results: Employees who reported higher satisfaction with work demand participated more often in health measures (aOR: 1.02, 95%-CI = 1.01, 1.04, p < 0.001). Large amount of variance in participation can be attributed to department level. Conclusion: Participation at WHP varies significantly between settings after controlling for individuals' characteristics. Thus, working characteristics should be considered as a decisive factor for WHP effectiveness. There is consensus that behavioral prevention is most effective when conditional prevention is granted as behavior is presumed to be influenced by individuals´environmental conditions. Though objective working conditions may seem similar further context characteristics which remain unconsidered may lead to different behavior patterns. This article shows that more attention must be payed to setting specific characteristics with regard to effective Occupational Health Promotion. This project is registered by the Federal Ministry of Defense (research number: E/U2AD/ED003/EF555).

“…Moreover, measurable items like blood test parameters or (self‐) assessments of changes in health habits are over‐represented. Reports of potential intangible benefits for employees or such that report a more in‐depth analysis of their point of view remain a minority while a lot is known about several specific, mainly physical outcomes (Nöhammer et al , 2009). Thorough analyses regarding social, mental, and further potential outcomes are largely missing or only reported in qualitative research.…”

“…Thorough analyses regarding social, mental, and further potential outcomes are largely missing or only reported in qualitative research. A comprehensive explorative study by Nöhammer et al (2009) broadly investigating the effects of WHP perceived by the workforce was therefore used as basis for a quantitative research project to test and enlarge the preliminary findings.…”

PurposeThe employees’ perspective is often disregarded in research regarding workplace health promotion (WHP). Experts’ opinions are prominent, stating employees’ benefits of WHP on the physical, mental, and social level. The purpose of this paper is to investigate which benefits and effects employees expect from WHP.Design/methodology/approachAs a current qualitative study indicates that employees also highlight cognitive aspects and prevention issues, a quantitative verification of this extended model was conducted. A questionnaire consisting of items derived from a qualitative study was developed and distributed in Austria in two government agencies, one bank, and one NGO. The sample consists of 237 employees rating the appreciability of potential WHP effects.FindingsBased on a principal component analysis, employee‐perceived effects of WHP were grouped into four components. Within the first, cognitive one, the most frequently perceived effect (40.1 per cent) was giving WHP a try. Regarding the second, emotional component, feeling appreciated (57.4 per cent) was emphasized. Improved affordability of prevention (57.0 per cent) belongs to the third, convenience/pleasure component. Effects in the fourth, social realm, such as better contact with colleagues, were perceived by only 17.4 per cent.Research limitations/implicationsThe results enlarge the theoretical grouping of WHP effects but require further testing regarding blue‐collar employees, and physical benefits.Practical implicationsStrengthening factors referring to perceived benefits in practical WHP design plus related communication seems advisable to increase participation rates and benefits derived.Originality/valueProviding an enlargement to current models of employee perceived benefits regarding WHP, this paper gives suggestions for a benefit oriented WHP program and communication design and opens up new paths for research.
