“…In general, workplace health culture was positively associated with all health-related outcomes, which supported several previous qualitative studies [5, 7, 27]. Variance analyses results showed that individual health culture, beneficial health effects of direct leaders, and health culture at the workplace level were all positively associated with the 3 health-related outcomes.…”

BackgroundTo examine the associations between demographic characteristics, health behaviors, workplace health culture, and health-related outcomes in Chinese workplaces.MethodsA total of 1508 employees from 10 administrative offices and 6 enterprises were recruited for a cross-sectional survey. Self-administered questionnaires mainly addressed demographic characteristics, health behaviors, workplace health culture, and health-related outcomes including self-rated health, mental health, and happiness.ResultsThe proportion of participants who reported good health-related outcomes was significantly higher in those working in administrative offices than those working in enterprises. The result of the potential factors related to self-rated health (SRH), mental health, and happiness by logistic regression analyses showed that age and income were associated with SRH; type of workplace, age, smoking, and health culture at the workplace level were associated with mental health; and beneficial health effects of direct leadership was positively associated with happiness. Moreover, there were some similar results among 3 multivariate regression models. Firstly, good SRH (Odds Ratio (OR) = 1.744), mental health (OR = 1.891), and happiness (OR = 1.736) were more common among highly physically active participants compared with those physical inactive. Furthermore, passive smoking was negatively correlated with SRH (OR = 0.686), mental health (OR = 0.678), and happiness (OR = 0.616), while health culture at the individual level was positively correlated with SRH (OR = 1.478), mental health (OR = 1.654), and happiness (OR = 2.916).ConclusionsThe present study indicated that workplace health culture, health behaviors, and demographic characteristics were associated with health-related outcomes. Furthermore, individual health culture, physical activity, and passive smoking might play a critical role in workplace health promotion.

“…This very notion encourages staff and stakeholders to use creativity (Shimko et al, 2000;Thyer, 2003;Coats, 2006); on-going innovation (Scalzi, 2006;Shimko et al, 2000); innovative problem-solving (Stordeur et al, 2000) and critical thinking (Davies et al, 2000;Newman et al, 2000). Experimentation with new ways (Welford, 2002;Service, 2004) and risk taking is encouraged and rewarded (Davies et al, 2000). The role and use of critical creativity in developing cultures where all can flourish has developed its theoretical and practical relevance over recent years (McCormack and Titchen, 2006;2007;Titchen and McCormack, 2010).…”

The culture of the healthcare workplace is influential in delivering care that is person-centred, clinically effective and continually improving in response to a changing context. The consequences of ineffective cultures have resulted in highly publicised failings. Since 2000, there has been increasing attention on culture in healthcare particularly organisational and corporate cultures, rather than, the immediate culture experienced by patients and users at the interface of care -the micro-systems level which we term 'workplace culture'. This is the level at which most healthcare is delivered and experienced and we argue it has to be given greater attention if healthcare reforms are to be implemented and sustained. Drawing on expertise with practice development -a complex methodology that aims to achieve effective workplace cultures that are person-centred, in different healthcare settings, the authors, within the context of an international colloquium on theory in practice development, present the findings of a rigorous concept analysis. Informed by data from a variety of sources the concept analysis identifies the attributes, enabling factors and consequences of an 'effective workplace culture'. The emerging framework will help those involved in transforming the culture at the patient and client interface to focus on and critique strategies that will directly and positively impact on patients, users and staff. Implications for practice: The framework presented will enable workplace teams to begin to assess their workplace cultures and determine the areas that require action  Individual clinical leaders may wish to self assess themselves in terms of their own role clarity and their own skill-set as transformational leaders and facilitators of others' effectiveness

“…This literature had begun to shed some much-needed light on this small but important population but more work is needed to fully understand the experiences of individuals with an SMI working in professional jobs. Service (2004), stated that "if we hope to understand the complicated relationship between mental illness and work, we simply need more and better observations of people as they live and experience both" (p. 27).…”

This study analyzed 13 stories of successful individuals who have serious mental illnesses (SMI). Those who are diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, or major depression, are more likely to be unemployed, and if working, have higher turnover, and work part-time in low paying jobs. Despite this fact, there are highly-educated and professionally-successful individuals with an SMI. I conducted a content analysis of published autobiographies of successful individuals who describe their experiences of navigating school, work, and their SMIs, to explore what major themes emerged from this group. My results suggested all the individuals faced significant challenges as a result of their disability but were able to use coping strategies including a strong drive, a belief that they could achieve their goals, a determination to face obstacles, and a drive to achieve their goals. In doing so, these individuals have shown that success in education and employment is possible despite their challenges. iii
