Organizations are increasingly seeking comprehensive approaches to improve employee mental well-being (EMW). This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of interventions delivered through the "Loveliness and Well-being of Employees" (LAWE) app, focusing on five key predictors: "Keep Learning," "Connect," "Take Notice," "Be Active," and "Given".
A quasi-experimental intervention was conducted with 110 participants (53 in the intervention group and 57 in the non-intervention group) from the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in Southeastern Iran. Participants were recruited from a census of all employees at four schools. The intervention involved an Android-based app designed to enhance EMW through pre-designed tasks. Six standard tools were used to assess EMW and its predictors. Data analysis was performed using IBM SPSS Statistics 28, employing Independent Samples T-Test, paired-samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, Spearman correlation coefficient and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).
The intervention group showed a significant increase in mean EMW score, from 52.26±8.61 to 60.01±6.95 (<0.01). Based on ANCOVA analysis, the post-intervention mean score was significantly higher in the intervention group compared to the non-intervention group by 0.219 points (<0.01). The mean score of all predictors, except "Take Notice" (=0.17), also significantly improved in the intervention group. Additionally, post-intervention comparison between the two groups revealed significant differences in mean EMW score (<0.01), as well as in the mean scores for "Keep Learning" (<0.05), "Given" (<0.01), and "Connect" (<0.01).
The LAWE app provides a desirable and comprehensive platform for improving the EMW in organizations. It significantly improves most of the key predictors of EMW, making it a valuable resource for organizations aiming to promote employee well-being.
各组织越来越多地寻求全面的方法来改善员工心理健康（EMW）。本研究旨在评估通过“员工的可爱与幸福”（LAWE）应用程序实施的干预措施的有效性，重点关注五个关键预测因素：“持续学习”、“建立联系”、“留意观察”、“积极行动”和“给予”。
对伊朗东南部克尔曼医科大学的110名参与者（干预组53人，非干预组57人）进行了一项准实验性干预。参与者是从四所学校的所有员工普查中招募的。干预措施包括一个基于安卓系统的应用程序，该程序旨在通过预先设计的任务来提高员工心理健康。使用六种标准工具来评估员工心理健康及其预测因素。使用IBM SPSS Statistics 28进行数据分析，采用独立样本t检验、配对样本t检验、单因素方差分析、斯皮尔曼相关系数和协方差分析（ANCOVA）。
干预组的员工心理健康平均得分显著提高，从52.26±8.61提高到60.01±6.95（<0.01）。根据协方差分析，干预组干预后的平均得分比非干预组显著高出0.219分（<0.01）。除“留意观察”（=0.17）外，干预组所有预测因素的平均得分也显著提高。此外，两组干预后的比较显示，员工心理健康平均得分（<0.01）以及“持续学习”（<0.05）、“给予”（<0.01）和“建立联系”（<0.01）的平均得分存在显著差异。
LAWE应用程序为改善组织中的员工心理健康提供了一个理想且全面的平台。它显著改善了员工心理健康的大多数关键预测因素，使其成为旨在促进员工福祉的组织的宝贵资源。
