“…As self-efficacy is also associated with work related outcomes [16,17], our findings suggest that high self-efficacy and medication adherence is important to individuals if 22 they are to continue to maintain employment. Any deterioration in their illness symptoms may negatively affect their work ability Future research should examine the relationships between self-efficacy, self-management behaviors and both psychological health and work-related outcomes among employees with chronic illness.…”

“…Within the workplace, occupational health support has been associated with medication use in those managing a chronic illness [14]; and line manager support has been related to better work adjustments [15]. Support is considered an important factor in work-related stressor-strain relationships [16] and its influence on job self-efficacy and job performance is well-documented [17].…”

“…Although it has always been important, the study of followership has now become even more important and noteworthy with the advent of the information age as well as vast changes in the workplace (Bjugstad et al 2006;Shamir 2007;Stetz, Stetz & Bliese 2006). Bjugstad et al (2006) describe followership as the capability to effectively follow instructions, while also supporting the efforts of a leader in pursuit of organisational success.…”

Background: Motivation for this study was found in concern expressed by civil aviation organisations that specialists in the air navigation services provider sector require appropriate and beneficial organisational leadership to encourage, enable and manage transformation within this highly structured setting. Also, academic research puts emphasis on a need for investigations of the roles, expectations and requirements of followers in the leadership–followership relationship. Followers’ experiences and expectations of leadership behaviours in an air navigation service provider (ANSP) organisation were investigated and served as orientation and setting applicable to this study.Aim: The aim of the research was to identify and understand how follower experiences and expectations of leadership behaviours in a safety-critical commercial environment can affect leadership training and growth. The above-mentioned motivated this investigation of leadership traits and behaviours within an explicit context and from a follower’s viewpoint.Setting: The setting for the study was twenty two Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company sites where followers’ experiences and expectations of leadership behaviours in an air navigation service provider (ANSP) organisation were investigated and served as orientation and setting applicable to this study.Methods: An ethnographic case study research style was adopted and followed because it allowed for an all-inclusive, holistic narrative report and interpretation. The samples for the quantitative and qualitative components of this study were parallel and methods employed addressed different aspects of the phenomenon, which allowed for a mixed methods research design. A one-way causality in the research design was observed because traits of followers that might influence leaders’ behaviours were excluded. Data were collected by means of a Leader Trait and Behaviour Questionnaire completed by participants, individual interviews and focus group consultations.Results: Research findings dispensed a deeper appreciation of followers’ epistemological and ontological views, within a specified context, which were supported by a common need to achieve organisational safety objectives. A practical managerial benefit was found in the insights presented by followers of leadership, which can possibly benefit leadership development and training needs, along with training and advancement of followers.Conclusions: Research findings potentially add to enhancing understanding of leadership development theory, synonymous with a safety-critical commercial setting. A critical insight into the ‘unexplored’ leadership behaviour qualities found within a safety-critical milieu is subsequently offered.

“…The current literature suggests that some coping mechanisms or strategies are more adaptive than others; specifically, problem-focused has been associated with the adaptive form of coping, followed by emotion-focused and maladaptive styles (Mantler, Matejicek, Matheson, & Ainsman, 2005;Carlson & Perrewe, 1999;Stetz, Stetz, & Bliese, 2006;Bhagat, Allie, & Ford, 1991). In fact, Bhagat et al (1991) found that problem-focused coping style mediated the relationship between stressors and strain, whereas emotion-focused coping styles did not mediate the stressorstrain relationship.…”

“…One explanation for this reduction of physical and psychological effects is that problem-focused coping eliminates the stressor, thus, providing more lasting relief. While there have been numerous hypotheses to suggest how the strain in the workplace is experienced, the relationship with performance outcomes has not been studied extensively (Stetz, et al, 2006;Weiss & Cropanzano, 1996;Brown et al, 2005). Intuitively, experiencing more negative physical and psychological symptoms should be significantly predictive of decreased performance regardless of the domain (i.e., work, school, or home).…”
