“…In the context of this study, we give precedence to work resources in the form of finance-related gains (salary, bonus, retirement packages and health insurance, amongst others). Studies such as Cummins (2000), Guo et al (2017), Odle-Dusseau et al (2019 and Meuris and Leana (2018) emphasised the importance of finance-related work resources to employee well-being. Secondly, given the findings, there is also a need to have a supportive work environment (Watson, 2009) that assists employees in the way they utilise their resources for organisational functioning and also in a way that is friendly to their health.…”

“…These may include quests for career development especially in response to a context that is not only uncertain but also undergoing rapid change (Johnston, 2018). Others frame quests for financial gain as very important (Odle-Dusseau et al, 2019). This may be true especially given that financial issues remain one of the leading causes of stress (Meuris & Leana, 2018), resulting in this resource being one that is most sought after in organisations (Guo, Baruch, & Russo, 2017).…”

Orientation: There is a rise in health-related challenges within the confines of the organisation. Strategies are needed not just from a human resources practitioner but also a theoretical basis in finding solutions to such challenges.Research purpose: Firstly, to determine the effects that work resources have on employee health and its two facets of physical and mental health. Secondly, to determine if career adaptability moderates the relationship between work resources and employee health.Motivation for the study: Studies exist in the literature that focus on the intersection of individual and organisational factors on health constructs such as mental health. Further, such studies continue to be an issue of inquiry especially within the public service professions such as teaching.Research approach/design and method: A quantitative research approach utilising a survey data collection technique was utilised. Simple linear regression and a hierarchical regression were performed to analyse the data.Main findings: Work resources do predict employee mental and physical health. Further, career adaptability does not moderate the relationship between work resources and employee health among teachers.Practical/managerial implications: Based on the findings, recommendations are made that assist not just teachers but also those engaged in creating a context in which teachers can thrive from a management perspective.Contribution/value-add: The findings help us focus on the notion that in rural high schools of South Africa, a supportive work environment for assisting teachers to utilise work resources for organisational functioning, in a manner that is friendly to their mental and physical health is needed.

“…The present research conceptualizes the elder’s victimization due to ill-behavior by the magnification of financial hardship they have undergone and issues pertaining to their physical health (Powell and Wahidin, 2008). The financial hardship and physical health were found out to be prominent factors (Wong and Waite, 2017; Odle-Dusseau, et al , 2019). These factors were explored statistically for the measurement of elder’s abuse.…”

Findings The elder neglect category identified as a prominent category due to physical health while elder insult and abuse were caused by physical health and financial hardship both. The present study portrays the multi-dimensional facets related to elders’ ill-treatment. The elder’s ill-treatment categories were profiled to imply the measure of elevating elders’ dignity and care at a personal level and society at large.
