“…Seen from this perspective, the organization-centered view of Luthans (2002) and the employee-centered view of Wright (2003) can be integrated into a positive business value model of employee health and well-being. An approach that has been labeled ''Integral Health Management'' (Zwetsloot & Pot, 2004) that constitutes a win-win situation for both the organization and its employees.…”

SummaryThis editorial introduces a special issue of the Journal of Organizational Behavior on positive organizational behavior (POB). POB emphasizes the need for more focused theory building, research, and effective application of positive traits, states, and behaviors of employees in organizations. We argue that in order to make a substantive contribution to organizational science, POB will need to show the added value of the positive over and above the negative. In addition, the emerging concept of employee engagement is briefly introduced. The papers in the special issue describe exciting positive organizational behavior studies that each tap into an interesting direction in which POB research might go.

“…We examined how these aspects of HR practices are related to organizational outcomes, including the perceived effectiveness of these practices for improving workers' sustainable employability, satisfaction with the current employability of employees, increased productivity of the organization in the last two years, and sickness absence. These organizational outcomes were chosen because they are important factors for the competitiveness and survival of organizations, and may contribute to the business case for implementing HR practices to improve sustainable employability (Zwetsloot & Pot, 2004).…”

“…Health culture indicates the strategic value employers place on health and safety (Shain & Kramer, 2004;Zwetsloot & Pot, 2004), and has been found to influence job satisfaction, burnout and sickness absence of employees (Ybema, Evers, & van Scheppingen, 2011). Health culture was included for two reasons.…”

With the aging of the workforce, organizations need to maintain or improve the sustainable employability of their workforce throughout their working life. This raises the question which HR practices increase workers' sustainable employability at work. The aim of this study is to investigate the extent to which organizations implement HR practices for enhancing sustainable employability in terms of workers' health, motivation, and skills and knowledge from the employer's perspective. In total, 312 owners/directors or HR managers (response rate 13%) filled out the questionnaire. The findings showed that most organizations implemented a range of HR practices to improve the health, motivation, and skills and knowledge of their employees. Perceived effectiveness of these practices were dependent on the number of HR practices that were implemented, employees' use of and participation in designing these practices. Implementation of HR practices was also related to higher satisfaction with the current employability of employees, and to increased productivity of the organization. Implications for practice and examples of HR practices to enhance sustainable employability are given.

“…Personal health impacts not only individuals, but families and societies, as well. Also, as Zwetsloot and Pot [22] pointed out, health management has a strategic and economic impact on business. Healthy people participating in health-promoting self-care activities define a successful a preventive medicine program, and the more participants there are in such programs, the fewer healthcare resources are required.…”

As their populations age, many countries are facing the increasing economic pressure of providing healthcare to their people. In Taiwan, this problem is exacerbated by an increasing rate of obesity and obesity-related conditions. Encouraging the adoption of personal health management services is one way to maintain current levels of personal health and to efficiently manage the distribution of healthcare resources. This study introduces Mobile Health Management Services (MHMS) and employs the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore the intention of students in Executive Master of Business Management programs to adopt mobile health management technology. Partial least squares (PLS) was used to analyze the collected data, and the results revealed that "perceived usefulness" and "attitude" significantly affected the behavioral intention of adopting MHMS. Both "perceived ease of use" and "perceived usefulness," significantly affected "attitude," and "perceived ease of use" significantly affected "perceived usefulness" as well. The results also show that the determinants of intention toward MHMS differed with age; young adults had higher intention to adopt MHMS to manage their personal health. Therefore, relevant governmental agencies may profitably promote the management of personal health among this population. Successful promotion of personal health management will contribute to increases in both the level of general health and the efficient management of healthcare resources.
