It is important for occupational health to justify the impact of health promotion programs on job satisfaction, which is associated with work-related outcomes. The aim of this study is to estimate the effects of lifestyle modification activity implemented by the community on job satisfaction, and to analyze the factors which contributed to the improvement of workers' job satisfaction. A lifestyle modification program consisting of aerobic exercise and diet counseling was conducted for 12 wk in the community. Data on 264 workers were obtained before and after the intervention. The subjects were asked to fill out questionnaires about work-related items, lifestyle, and mental health status. In addition to the ameliorations of GHQ, lifestyle, subjective complaints, and the risk factors of lifestyle-related diseases, an improvement in workers' job satisfaction was shown by the participation in the community-based lifestyle modification program. For analyzing factors which contributed to the improvement in job satisfaction, logistic regression analysis was employed. Refreshment from fatigue by sleep independently contributed to the improvement of job satisfaction even after adjusting for the other variables. The health promotion program implemented in the community may be useful for workers' job satisfaction especially through the dissipation of fatigue by refreshment sleep.

“…Mcclenahan et al (35) concluded that high demands and low control and low support accounted for 26%, 6%, and 8% of the variance in job satisfaction, psychological distress and burnout, respectively. Lack of support and poor communication may act as stressors, therefore leading to the perception of work stress (36). Providing essential information and skills about mental health, including occupational stressors, have an impact on the mental health of employees, at least in the short term (37).…”

Background: Researchers have found that management safety practices may predict occupational injuries and psychological distresses in the workplace. The present study examined the perception of management safety practices related to injuries reporting and its dimensions among workers of Isfahan Steel Company (ESCO). Methods: A self-administered anonymous survey was distributed to 189 workers. The survey included demographic factors, management safety perception, injuries reporting and its components (physical symptoms, psychological symptoms, and injuries). The data were analyzed by Multivariate and correlation techniques. Results:The results showed that: 1) there were significant correlations between management safety perception with injuries reporting and its two dimensions namely physical and psychological symptoms; 2) there was no significant relationship between management safety perception and injury; 3) in Multivariate analysis, management safety perception significantly predicted about 26%, 19%, and 28% of the variances of variables of injuries reporting, physical symptoms, and psychological symptoms respectively (P< 0.01). Conclusion: Improving employees' perception of management safety practices can be important to prevent the development of job injuries and to promote workers' safety and well-being.
