Research and study the Lebanese employers' attitudes, toward recruiting candidates with a mental illness and toward their employees who suffer chronic mental illnesses (A CMI) and the factors that may play a role in affecting it.
A combined cross sectional and retrospective study. Interviews conducted with a mix of 63 human resource managers and high executive employees to assess the integration of people with A CMI at the workplace, and the attitudes toward them.
Primarily, the engagement of an occupational physician or a social worker in the process, was associated with a reduction in stigma surrounding the subject matter. Moreover, hiring a candidate with A CMI was perceived as a social image improvement of the hiring company. However, A CMI employees were perceived as having lower efficiency and self-esteem, as well as a greater vulnerability to dismissal.
The presence and engagement of an occupational physician, and/or a social worker, has been found to be the main positive stigma modulator against mental illness, in a corporate setting.
研究和探讨黎巴嫩雇主对于招聘患有精神疾病的求职者以及患有慢性精神疾病（A CMI）的员工的态度，以及可能影响这种态度的因素。
采用横断面和回顾性相结合的研究方法。对 63 名人力资源经理和高管进行访谈，评估在工作场所对患有 A CMI 的人员的融合程度以及对他们的态度。
首先，职业医生或社会工作者的参与与减少与主题相关的污名化有关。此外，招聘患有 A CMI 的求职者被视为招聘公司社会形象的提升。然而，患有 A CMI 的员工被认为工作效率和自尊心较低，更容易被解雇。
在企业环境中，职业医生和/或社会工作者的存在和参与被发现是减轻精神疾病污名的主要积极因素。
