“…Our research also confirms the tensions in many relationships with management ( McKendy et al, 2021 ) and the desire for improved mental health treatment options available to correctional workers ( Johnston et al, 2022b ), especially the desire to include some form of peer support ( Johnston et al, 2021 , 2022a ; Ricciardelli and Carleton, 2022 ). To this point, these findings reiterate the need to sensitize managers and leaders in correctional organizations to the importance of mental health and readiness (see Johnston et al, 2023 ) as well as finding other opportunities (i.e., through technology) to promote mental health awareness, resources, education, treatments, coping skills, work-stress management skills, and so forth to struggling correctional workers ( Paginin and Simbula, 2020 ).…”

IntroductionThe inherent nature of work in correctional services can have negative effects on correctional worker mental health and well-being.MethodsThe current study, a replication, analyzes survey data collected from provincial and territorial correctional workers staffed in six regions across Canada (n = 192). Specifically, participants were asked at the end of an extensive mental health and well-being survey an open-ended question requesting any additional feedback or information.ResultsFour predominant themes were identified in the data: (1) stigma pertaining to a need to recognize mental health concerns within correctional services; (2) the idea that correctional services wear on the mind and body; (3) a need for better relationships with and support from correctional supervisors, upper management, and ministerial leadership; and (4) suggestions to improve correctional services to help the sector realize its full potential and maximize workplace health.DiscussionWe discuss the implications of these findings, with an emphasis on finding ways to promote positive organizational and cultural change in correctional services.

“…In recent decades, there has been a significant and continuous increase in interest in the prevention of work-related stress. The recent literature has emphasized the potential role of new technologies in addressing this problem, which has led to a shift in the framework for implementing such interventions, focusing on adaptations to technological strategies [49][50][51][52]. Apps for mobile devices have begun to be utilized for workplace health promotion.…”

Work-related stress significantly jeopardizes employees’ physical and mental health due to the considerable time they spend at work. Smartphone-based interventions provide a promising solution, eliminating traditional face-to-face interventions’ barriers. However, the elements that influence workers’ intentions to use this still remain unexplored. This study explores the link between health belief model (HBM) and technology acceptance model (TAM) factors. In this study, 336 Italian workers (64% female) answered an online questionnaire. We employed a structural equation model (SEM) to analyze the data. The results unveiled an indirect relationship: individuals perceiving health risks were more inclined to use stress-management apps, mediated by perceived utility (PU). This study underscores the significant potential of integrating the HBM with the TAM in predicting users’ preparedness for smartphone-based health interventions. These findings not only hold substantial value but also illuminate a path forward for professionals and organizations, offering insights to tailor and optimize smartphone tools for stress management and the promotion of workplace well-being. Ultimately, this research paves the way for the cultivation of healthier work environments, marking a noteworthy contribution to the field.

“…This may provide guidance to organizations and professionals on the content of training. Recent research has shown that it is possible to provide interventions that are cheaper, easier to use, and disseminated through new technologies (de Korte et al, 2018;Paganin & Simbula, 2020, 2021. Therefore, one could consider developing applications that provide guidance on how to improve one's emotional intelligence and show its effect in reducing burnout and musculoskeletal disorders, such as back, neck, and shoulder pain.…”

Aim/Purpose: The present study aims to frame the relationship between job and personal resources (namely, organizational identification and emotional intelligence), burnout, and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., back pain, upper limb pain, lower limb discomfort), into the theoretical framework provided by the JD-R health model. Background: Empirical research indicates a connection between burnout and the onset of musculoskeletal problems, one of the most important occupational health issues affecting all jobs and organizations. In light of the JD-R health model, we investigated the association between personal and job resources with burnout and musculoskeletal disorders. Methodology: An anonymous online questionnaire was answered by 320 workers (82.4% female, Mage = 42.18; SDage = 12.24) investigating their perceived level of burnout, the presence of musculoskeletal pain (back, neck, and shoulder), and their level of organizational identification and emotional intelligence. Descriptive analysis, correlation, and moderated mediation model were performed using SPSS. Contribution: We confirmed the role of personal and organizational resources in the salutogenic process considered by the JD-R health model. Emotional intelligence, decreasing the perceived level of burnout, limited the development of musculoskeletal disorders. Moreover, when organizational identification presented low and medium levels, the association between emotional intelligence and burnout strengthened. Findings: Our results showed a negative, indirect effect of emotional intelligence on musculoskeletal disorders via burnout. Moreover, we found a moderation of organizational organization, indicating that at low and medium levels of identification, the association between emotional intelligence and burnout is stronger. Recommendation for Researchers: In addition to work factors involved in the link between burnout and musculoskeletal disorders, it is also important to consider personal and emotional factors, which can decrease the occurrence of adverse consequences. Future Research: Future research developments could contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms linking emotional intelligence, burnout, and musculoskeletal problems, as well as consider objective indicators of burnout levels or consider using ecological data collection methodologies (e.g., ecological momentary assessment), to identify patterns and associations between burnout and musculoskeletal disorders.
