“…Bearing in mind the cross-sectional nature of these data, these findings suggest that individuals who are well resourced to bounce back from adversity are better equipped to engage in higher amounts of walking activity. Research exploring this association between resilience and PA has mainly been focused at higher intensities of PA (Thogersen-Ntoumani, Black, Lindwall, Whittaker, & Balanos, 2017); thus, further work is needed to disentangle the association at all intensities of PA. Together, these findings are important, as moderate-to-vigorous PA is the most important form of activity for individuals to improve their fitness, and gain its related health benefits (Garber et al, 2011), and sedentary behavior (sitting time) has consistently been shown to be associated with numerous deleterious outcomes (Australian National Preventive Health Agency, 2014).…”

Stress is an important consideration for understanding why individuals take part in limited or no physical activity (PA). The effects of stress on PA does not hold for everyone, so examinations of possible moderators that protect individuals from the harmful effects of stress are required. Aligned with a resilience framework, individual resources (e.g., hope, self-efficacy) may buffer the maladaptive effects of stress, such that people who have access to these resources in greater quantity may be more "resilient" to the deleterious effects of stress on PA. This study was designed to test this expectation. In total, 140 Australian undergraduate students (70.7% female, Mage = 21.68 ± 4.88) completed a multi-section survey, and provided a sample for hair cortisol concentration (HCC) analysis using immunoassays. Main effects demonstrated primarily small and non-significant associations between perceived stress and HCC with different intensities of PA. Similar findings were observed between individual-level resilience resources and PA intensities, with the exception of hope (i.e., positive association with vigorous PA and negative association with sitting), self-efficacy (i.e., positive association with vigorous PA), and resilience (i.e., positive association with walking). Although certain individual-level resilience resources were perceived as beneficial for PA and sedentary time, the moderating role of resilience resources was not supported by the findings. The direct and moderating effects between stress, PA and resilience resources require further testing using longitudinal designs in which stressful periods occur naturally (e.g., exams for students) or are experimentally manipulated.

“…This study focused on perceived HRM practices as antecedents of resilience, but there are also factors inside and outside working life, such as social networks, which are likely to influence resilience (see, e.g., Hildon et al, 2008;Luthans et al, 2006). Additionally, it is postulated that specific HR practices, such as mindfulness training, may be useful for enhancing employee resilience (Thogersen-Ntoumani et al, 2017).

Purpose -Human resource management (HRM) scholars' interest in older employees' resilience has only recently started to emerge. Little is known about how resilience and perceived HRM are linked to different retirement intentions. Drawing on the conservation of resources (COR) and social exchange theories, this study investigates the links between perceived HRM practices, resilience, and retirement intentions. Additionally, the paper examines the possible mediating role of resilience in the relationship between perceived HRM practices and retirement intentions. Design/Methodology/Approach -In 2016, a cross-sectional study was conducted among older (50+) nursing professionals working in a Finnish university hospital. Statistical methods, including mean comparisons and linear and logistic regression analyses, were used to analyze the data. Findings -The results indicated that resilience partly mediated the relationship between perceived HRM practices and early retirement intentions, and fully mediated the association between perceived HRM practices and intentions to continue working after retirement age.Originality -This study produces new knowledge regarding the links between resilience, perceived high involvement work practices (HIWPs) and retirement intentions.

“…To take responsibility for the work to be done was of greater importance than to take responsibility for one's own health. Furthermore, the employees thought that working while sick was about relations to others, and to be home on sick leave might cause stress for their coworkers [28].…”

How to Promote Workplace Health in order to Work into Old Age: Experiences from Employees in an Industrial Setting

et al. 2019

Background. Health is important in workplaces. A good organisational climate in a workplace plays a major role in the employees’ well-being at work and is also associated with increased productivity. Today, employees are expected to work into older age and it is a challenge for companies to promote health and well-being for this growing group. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to explore how to promote workplace health at present time and for the end of working life in the perspective of employees. Design/Methodology/Approach. The study had an explorative design, and a thematic analysis was chosen. The inclusion criteria were persons 50 years and older, working in the company and planning to continue working into old age. A total of 21 coworkers (14 men) participated in the study. Three focus group interviews were conducted. Findings. The results from the focus group interviews are presented in four themes: handle change in a changeable workplace, take responsibility for health concerns, get confirmation for feeling needed, and support and tolerance adapted for each employee. Practical Implications. Promoting health should be an urgent mission for employees themselves as well as for managers in order to support employees in working into old age. The health promotion must be suitable for each employee and should be designed in such a way as to avoid inequality in workplace health. Originality/Value. There is a need for more health-promoting behaviours, support, and activities for employees in order to work into old age.
