As workplaces increasingly adopt proactive programs directed toward employee health issues, the interrelation between different programs becomes an important issue. Of interest here is the "synergy" in patterns of program adoption between employee assistance programs (EAPs) and health promotion activities (HPAs). We utilize the 1985 National Survey of Worksite Health Promotion Activities (N = 1358) for analyses of the dual presence of EAPs and HPAs, and in multivariate analyses we consider factors affecting such dual presence. The data suggest that synergy occurs, with EAP adoption appearing to influence HPA adoption to a greater extent than the reverse. In multivariate analyses, synergy is confirmed by the finding that, among a variety of relevant organizational characteristics, EAP presence and HPA presence are the best predictors of each other's presence. The analyses also indicate that there is minimal commonality in program ingredients across organizations reporting the presence of HPAs. Implications of the data for the future development of these two programming strategies are discussed.
随着工作场所越来越多地采用针对员工健康问题的积极方案，不同方案之间的相互关系成为一个重要问题。这里感兴趣的是员工援助计划（EAP）和健康促进活动（HPA）在方案采用模式上的“协同作用”。我们利用1985年全国工作场所健康促进活动调查（N = 1358）来分析EAP和HPA的双重存在情况，并在多变量分析中考虑影响这种双重存在的因素。数据表明存在协同作用，EAP的采用似乎比相反情况对HPA的采用影响更大。在多变量分析中，协同作用通过以下发现得到证实：在各种相关组织特征中，EAP的存在和HPA的存在是彼此存在的最佳预测指标。分析还表明，在报告有HPA的组织中，方案要素的共性极小。讨论了这些数据对这两种规划策略未来发展的影响。
