“…However, both the lifestyle and environment of managers strongly influence their managerial health concepts, as stated in the literature (Botha & Brand, 2009 ). Managerial health is necessarily not only connected to the work environment and managerial performance but also to leisure, private relationships, and the general ability to be active and relaxed.…”

Global changes and new managerial challenges require new concepts of health and well-being in organizational contexts. In the South African context, health and well-being of managers have gained relevance in organizations and in management sciences. International organizations, in particular, attempt to address the increasing demand for health care and the delivery of health services to their managers. Careful and appropriate health management requires research to evaluate context-specific health concepts and strategies. The purpose and aim of this article is to assess managerial concepts on health and well-being that could be used by the organization to contribute to managerial well-being by implementing health promotion according to managerial needs. At the same time, this article contributes to salutogenetic health research that is very rare with regard to the South African organizational management research.This study is a multi-method research study conducted in a selected international organization in South Africa. However, in this article, selected qualitative findings will only be presented.This organizational study presents selected research findings on health concepts and strategies employed by managers. Findings demonstrate that the managerial concepts of health and strategies mainly refer to not only physical but also to mental and spiritual aspects, with a priority on physical health and well-being.The findings presented are based on qualitative research methods and their research criteria.This assessment serves as a foundation for new approaches to health management within the international work context in South Africa. It also contributes to a paradigm shift from pathogenetic to salutogenetic concepts of health and well-being within the South African organizational work context.The article produces new insights into the qualitative health concepts of South African managers and expatriates and contributes to promoting salutogenesis in organization within South Africa.

“…The findings of Kim and Batra (2009), Hallab (2006) and Hallab et al (2003) are partially supported, because they mostly focus on aspects of the physical dimension, such as cholesterol level, nutrition, exercise, blood pressure and smoking. Considering the applied wellness intervention models, the factors of diet, fitness and social interactions correspond to a certain extent to the findings of Myers et al (2000), Hattie et al (2004), and Botha and Brand (2009). In general, cultural diversity was the most important aspect, while social interaction was the second most important factor.…”

“…The study makes several contributions to the extant literature. First, this paper suggests a wellness-related lifestyle scale that integrates the elements of wellness intervention models (Botha and Brand, 2009; Els and De La Rey, 2006; Hattie et al , 2004; Myers et al , 2000; Myers et al , 2004; Witmer and Sweeney, 1992) and healthy lifestyle (Divine and Lepisto, 2005; Hallab et al , 2003; Kim and Batra, 2009; Kraft and Goodell, 1993). Second, it confirms the link between healthy lifestyle and travel motivations (Hallab, 2006; Hallab et al , 2003; Kim and Batra, 2009).…”

“…Wellness intervention models are usually theoretical models of well-being that are very extensive because they include various behavioural aspects (Hattie et al , 2004; Witmer and Sweeney, 1992). Some of the identified dimensions in applied studies are dimensions such as spirituality, self-regulation, work, friendship and love (Witmer and Sweeney, 1992); creative self, coping self, social self, essential self and physical self (Hattie et al , 2004); cognitive-emotional, relational, physical and spiritual wellness (Myers et al , 2004); and physical fitness and nutrition, medical self-care, safety, environmental wellness, social awareness, sexuality and emotional awareness, emotional management, intellectual wellness, and spirituality and values (Botha and Brand, 2009). However, all the above-mentioned dimensions are essentially part of the five most common dimensions, namely social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual (Roscoe, 2009).…”

“…Additionally, different wellness intervention models intended for counselling-oriented professions (Hattie et al , 2004) are disregarded. This research builds upon the research on the wellness-related lifestyle scale proposed by Chen et al (2014) and wellness intervention models (Botha and Brand, 2009; Els and De La Rey, 2006; Hattie et al , 2004; Myers et al , 2000; Myers et al , 2004; Witmer and Sweeney, 1992) and suggests an alternative approach to health preservation and promotion in tourism settings. Therefore, this research contributes to theory and practice by integrating wellness intervention models into wellness, well-being and healthy lifestyle research in the tourism context.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine the concept of wellness as a form of healthy lifestyle in tourism settings. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected through a self-complete questionnaire administered to a sample of guests staying in wellness hotels in Croatia. These data were processed using univariate statistics (general description of the sample), cluster analysis (segmentation purposes), multinomial regression analysis (profiling the clusters) and confirmatory factor analysis (confirmation of wellness-related lifestyle). Findings Six wellness-related lifestyle dimensions (diet, fitness, social interactions, cultural diversity, health awareness and personal development) were confirmed, and four segments emerged (high-level wellness, diet- and health-oriented, fitness-oriented and low-level wellness clusters). They differed in their travel motivation. Originality/value This paper suggests a wellness-related lifestyle scale that integrates the elements of wellness intervention models and healthy lifestyle, confirms the link between healthy lifestyle and travel motivation and establishes the importance of the social, intellectual and spiritual dimensions of a tourist’s lifestyle.
