“…Stigma and discrimination in the workplace were identified as possible causes for the low rate of disclosure found in that setting [21]. Previous research has suggested that employers don’t have the appropriate knowledge about HIV, ART and its success in turning the HIV epidemic into a manageable, chronic-like disease [21], [36]. This lack of education leads to discrimination and inappropriate employment terminations [21], [36].…”

Employers should therefore be the target of pilot educational programs focused on disseminating knowledge of PLHIV.…”

BackgroundHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) status disclosure has been shown to provide several benefits, both at the individual and societal levels.AimTo determine risk factors associated with disclosing HIV status among antiretroviral therapy (ART) recipients in South Africa.SettingA cross-sectional study on risk factors for viremia and drug resistance took place at two outpatient HIV clinics in 2008, at a large hospital located in Soweto, South Africa.MethodsWe conducted a secondary data analysis on socio-economic characteristics and HIV status disclosure to anyone, focusing on gender differences. Descriptive and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to model the associations between risk factors and HIV status disclosure. Additionally, descriptive analysis was conducted to describe gender differences of HIV status disclosure to partner, parents, parents in law, partner, child, family, employer, and other.PatientsA total of 883 patients were interviewed. The majority were women (73%) with median age of 39 years.ResultsEmployed patients were less likely to disclose than unemployed (odds ratio (OR) 0.36; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.1–1.0; p = 0.05)). Women with higher income were more likely to disclose (OR 3.25; 95% CI 0.90–11.7; p = 0.07) than women with lower income, while men with higher income were less likely (OR 0.20; 95% CI 0.02–1.99; p = 0.17) than men with lower income. Men were more likely than women to disclose to their partner (p<0.01), and to partner and family (p<0.01), women were more likely than men to disclose to child and family (p<0.01), to child, family and others (p = 0.01).ConclusionBeing employed imposed a risk factor for HIV status disclosure, additionally we found an interaction effect of gender and income on disclosure. Interventions designed to reduce workplace discrimination and gender-sensitive interventions promoting disclosure are strongly recommended.

“…Scale scores were used as indicators for each construct in the models. We accounted for the effects of measurement error by fixing the value of the unique variance indicator as one minus the reliability multiplied by the scale variance (Niehoff & Moorman 1993, Sinclair et al 2002, Lim 2003. We used the coefficient alpha as the indicator of reliability for all scales.…”

To control for baseline levels of job satisfaction and well‐being we included time 1 measures of these variables in our model.…”

Research has shown that a variety of organisational change interventions can be effective but the powerful positive results of an intervention do not always generalise to other similar settings. Problems with implementation and a difficult intervention context have been shown to undermine the effectiveness of promising interventions. The impact that middle managers have on the change process and intervention outcomes has not been widely researched. This longitudinal intervention study was carried out in the elderly care sector in a large Danish local government organisation (N = 188), where poor social support, and lack of role clarity and meaningful work had been identified as significant problems. To tackle these problems, teamwork was implemented, with teams having some degree of self‐management. It examined whether middle managers' active support for the intervention mediated its impact on working conditions, well‐being and job satisfaction. Structural equation modelling showed that middle managers' active involvement in implementing the change partially mediated the relationship between working conditions at time 1 and time 2. Working conditions at time 2 were in turn related to time 2 job satisfaction and well‐being. These results suggest that the degree to which employees perceive their middle managers to play an active role in implementing change is related to intervention outcomes.
