Work-related psychosocial hazards have a significant influence on the development of musculoskeletal and mental health disorders (MSDs and MHDs). This study used behavioural change theory to guide understanding of barriers and enablers for leaders working in the Heavy Vehicle Road Transport industry, to address workplace psychosocial hazards. The findings will be used to inform design of a future intervention to support leaders to more effectively address these hazards. Principal results and major conclusions: A higher number of barriers than enablers were identified. The most prevalent barriers were inadequate knowledge and interpersonal skills, and environmental context and inadequate resources, and the most prevalent enabler was risk management. The findings extend previous evidence by providing more specific detail regarding requirements for addressing psychosocial hazards. Further, the findings identified there is a need to improve the capability, opportunity and motivation of leaders to enable them to more effectively address psychosocial hazards.
工作相关的心理社会危害对肌肉骨骼和心理健康障碍（MSDs 和 MHDs）的发展有重大影响。本研究使用行为改变理论来指导对重型车辆道路运输行业领导者在解决工作场所心理社会危害方面的障碍和促进因素的理解。研究结果将用于为未来的干预措施提供信息，以支持领导者更有效地解决这些危害。主要结果和主要结论：确定了更多的障碍而不是促进因素。最普遍的障碍是知识和人际关系技能不足，以及环境背景和资源不足，最普遍的促进因素是风险管理。研究结果通过提供有关解决心理社会危害的具体要求，扩展了先前的证据。此外，研究结果还表明，需要提高领导者的能力、机会和积极性，使他们能够更有效地解决心理社会危害。
