Addressing the health and safety of workers is key to achieving Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 8. The European Union urges companies in its member countries to promote measures in this regard. However, this type of program is not a general approach in European companies. This study aims to identify whether the implementation of Workplace Health Promotion measures is influenced by the company's desire to meet its employees' expectations in this area; and if this relationship involves the company's reputation and productivity.
A multi-step methodology is used (descriptive sample portrait, analysis of influences by linear regression, and double-intermediation model analysis) to find out if reputation and productivity mediate the relationship between the satisfaction of employee health expectations and the number of Workplace Health Promotion measures applied.
The more weight the company gives to this compliance, the more motivated it is to implement a more significant number of Workplace Health Promotion measures. The increase in productivity does not seem to weigh in this relationship, but the improvement of the company's reputation does.
The more the employees' expectations of working in a healthy company are desired to be met, the more measures the company will put in place.
The findings have theoretical implications, by increasing knowledge about the factors that influence a company's decision to activate Workplace Health Promotion policies. They can also serve as guidance for implementing policies that encourage health promotion in companies and contribute to the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 8: for workers' representatives, by better understanding how these factors influence the fulfillment of their constituents' expectations; for company managers, by better knowing the variables involved in this relationship; and for researchers of this topic.
关注工人的健康和安全是实现可持续发展目标 3 和 8 的关键。欧盟敦促其成员国的公司在这方面推动采取措施。然而,这种类型的计划并不是欧洲公司的普遍做法。本研究旨在确定实施工作场所健康促进措施是否受到公司满足员工在这方面期望的意愿的影响;以及这种关系是否涉及公司的声誉和生产力。
采用多步骤方法(描述性样本描绘、线性回归分析影响以及双重中介模型分析),以确定声誉和生产力是否在员工健康期望满意度与实施的工作场所健康促进措施数量之间的关系中起中介作用。
公司对这种合规性的重视程度越高,就越有动力实施更多的工作场所健康促进措施。生产力的提高似乎并没有影响这种关系,但公司声誉的提高确实有影响。
公司越希望满足员工在健康公司工作的期望,就会采取更多的措施。
这些发现具有理论意义,增加了关于影响公司激活工作场所健康促进政策决策的因素的知识。它们还可以为在公司中鼓励健康促进的政策的实施提供指导,为实现可持续发展目标 3 和 8 做出贡献:对于工人代表,通过更好地理解这些因素如何影响他们选民的期望的实现;对于公司经理,通过更好地了解这种关系所涉及的变量;以及对于该主题的研究人员。
