Contemporary workplaces are influenced by rapid changes, high levels of competition, increasing complexities and internationalisation processes. At the edge of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), insecurities and anxieties are high, and leaders are encouraged more than ever to lead employees with meaningful vision and prudence in order to make use of employees’ strengths, and ensure mental health and well-being. The aim of this article is to present new insights into salutogenesis, particularly sense of coherence (SOC), compassionate love (CL), and coping (C) in leaders with different cultural backgrounds. This study strengthens the idea that CL is a coping mechanism. This coping mechanism can be used by leaders to establish a resilient and salutogenic organisations. This article explores the subjective perspectives of 22 international leaders from five different countries and their views regarding SOC, CL and C through a qualitative research approach, using a qualitative online questionnaire for data collection and content analysis for data analysis. The findings on the perspectives of leaders provide new and original insights into how SOC, CL and C are connected, and how these concepts contribute to healthy organisations which are on their way to the transition into the 4IR. Conclusions are drawn. Recommendations for future research and practice are given.

“…On this basis, healthy universities programs have recently been enhanced in Northern Europe and the UK, aimed at "improving health among students and staff, leading to institutional and societal productivity and sustainability" [1]. In accordance with the psychology of sustainability that aims to improve the quality of life [2] and create positive work environments specifically from the organizational positive psychology perspective [3], the healthy universities perspective promotes the creation of an organizational culture that enhances the "wellbeing and sustainability of its community and enables people to achieve their full potential" [4] and defines universities as communities "in which people can thrive and flourish" [5][6][7].…”

Universities perform very demanding tasks within a workplace characterized by a critical psychosocial environment. Against this backdrop, the aim of this study is to extend the current literature on the job sustainability of faculty professors, examine the associations of certain job resources (meaningfulness of work, reward) and job demands (work overload, conflict among colleagues) with workaholism, burnout, engagement. A self-report questionnaire was administered within a public higher education institution in Italy to a sample constituted by 291 professors. The results of path analysis show that meaningfulness of work and reward positively correlate with work engagement, work satisfaction, and psychological wellbeing and ward off emotional exhaustion and intention to leave. Work overload correlates positively with workaholism, work-family conflict and intention to leave and negatively with job satisfaction. Finally, workaholism correlates with work engagement and mediates the relationship between work overload and work-family conflict, emotional exhaustion, and psychological discomfort. The study highlights that to support the work of academic workers and build healthy and sustainable universities, it is necessary to promote job resources and control job demands. Moreover, the study highlights that work engagement and workaholism can be respectively considered as the positive and negative sides of heavy work investment.

“…Nesse sentido, valoriza competências que auxiliam o indivíduo a superar questões desencadeadoras de processos de adoecimento. A salutogênese, portanto, propõe-se a estudar o indivíduo e a importância de assumir uma orientação à saúde e não focar seus esforços no campo teórico da análise de fatores condicionantes à doença 19 .…”

RESUMO A formação em medicina pode gerar grandes responsabilidades ao estudante e provocar diversos problemas comportamentais, psíquicos e físicos. Diante desse fato, evidencia-se a necessidade de problematização de estratégias de Promoção da Saúde física e mental dos graduandos, conforme apontam as Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais para os cursos de graduação em Medicina no Brasil. Este relato de experiência almeja problematizar uma iniciativa do eixo curricular de Saúde Coletiva de uma Universidade Federal brasileira voltada para o aprimoramento de competências relacionadas à Promoção da Saúde. Durante a terceira unidade curricular desse eixo, problematizou-se com os estudantes, por meio do Arco de Maguerez, o aprimoramento de competências relacionadas à Promoção da Saúde e à salutogênese, em consonância com os princípios do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) e as políticas públicas de saúde, especialmente a Política Nacional de Promoção da Saúde. Com isso, a unidade curricular com essa temática foi construída coletivamente, com diálogo e amorosidade entre discentes e docentes. Partimos da realidade dos estudantes para aprender sobre Promoção da Saúde e, assim, poder transformá-la. As atividades construídas, em um componente do currículo formal de um curso médico, permitiram aprender a relevância e a prática da Promoção da Saúde no cotidiano e se sensibilizarem em relação a elas. Buscou-se realizar ações para a ampliação do bem-estar dos discentes de forma autônoma e libertadora. Assim, empoderados com esses saberes, a unidade foi encerrada em uma atividade construída pelos estudantes por meio dos objetivos pedagógicos propostos. O local em que ela ocorreu se mostrou potente para produzir saúde e constituir-se como cenário de ensino-aprendizagem para a formação médica. Compreendeu-se que a Promoção da Saúde por intermédio de atividades contextualizadas com as realidades e necessidades discentes, inseridas na rotina acadêmica, possui potencial transformador na saúde dos estudantes, preparando-os para uma prática médica ética, relacional, com amorosidade e corresponsabilidade. A experiência foi inovadora, pois enfrentou a incoerência de ensinar a Promoção da Saúde sem praticá-la, em um contexto em que cada vez mais as condições de saúde física e mental dos estudantes de Medicina têm se tornado precárias. Assim, a oportunidade de aprender sobre o tema foi aproveitada para desenvolver competências e vivenciar a Promoção da Saúde na realidade dos estudantes, preparando-os para as intervenções com a comunidade, que ocorreram em seguida. A avaliação da atividade foi positiva, e destacou-se a relevância da Saúde Coletiva na formação médica para pensar as interfaces entre o eu e o outro, nossas semelhanças, diferenças e necessidades de transformações nos encontros que a graduação e a profissão médica proporcionam.
