The Effect of Job Satisfaction on Organizational Commitment of Healthcare Per...IOSRJBM
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the job satisfaction of health care personnel on organizational commitment’s components. The data of the research were collected by way of a survey that was conducted on 501 health care workers who work in a public university hospital in Turkey. Structural equation modeling (path analysis) was conducted to test the hypotheses. From the results of the analyses, there was no statistically significant influence of intrinsic satisfaction on organizational commitment was found. Only extrintic satisfaction was determined significantly negative effect on continuance commitment and positive effect on normative commitment. In other words, an increase in the level of extrinsic satisfaction causes a decrease in continuance commitment and an increase in normative commitment.
A STUDY ON JOB STRESS AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEES PERFORMANCEIAEME Publication
The employees in the organization are under a great deal of stress and due to many antecedents of stress such as overload, role ambiguity, role conflict, responsibility for people, participation, lack of feedback, keeping up with rapid technological change. Outcomes of this among the employees are stress on job performance. The physical and psychology demands of workers in the organization make them more vulnerable to high level of stress. This study investigated and evaluated the job stress and its effect on job performance among the employees in the organization.

Unit Lesson HELP
The Importance of Theories in Health Promotion
Public health promotion programs are designed to improve health, prevent disease, and mitigate death. These programs also promote a better quality of life and advocate conditions in which people can be healthier and have a better quality of life. Successful health promotion programs are designed in such a way that they assess the fundamental cause or causes of certain health problems or unhealthy behaviors. The program then incorporates actual interventions to address the problems and behaviors linked to the public health problem. In order to do that, health promotion workers/practitioners are using various theories related to health behaviors during the various phases of planning, implementing, and evaluating a certain proposed intervention.
Theories assist the public health practitioners in understanding the nature of certain targeted health behaviors. The theories are then used to explain the dynamics of the behavior, the process of changi.

How to 10X Your Influence 2
Our Serious Problems Are Rooted in Human Behavior
The U.S. financial sector has some of the most sophisticated risk
assessment technologies and most sound regulatory policies of
any nation in the world. Yet from 2003 to 2007 the world watched
a number of this country’s most mature financial institutions
fling themselves off a fiscal cliff. And this in spite of the fact that
the capital markets had experienced a catastrophic “bubble”
just seven years earlier. How could this happen? How could our
behavior diverge so profoundly from painfully recent knowledge?
Unfortunately, the trend doesn’t stop in the financial sector.
In fact, the knowing/doing gap pervades every sector of the
economy and every facet of our lives. For example, this year U.S.
healthcare organizations—some of the finest in the world—will
harm hundreds of thousands of patients by making millions of the
same mistakes they’ve been making for decades. How could this
happen? And why will more than three-fourths of management
innovations like Six Sigma, process reengineering, mergers and
acquisitions, and major IT investments continue to fall far short of
their potential for improving results?
And why, with our abundant knowledge about human health, are
we running headlong toward illness? We live in an age—for the
first time in human history—when the leading causes of death
in developed countries are, at some level, consensual. It is not
a failure of knowledge that increases our risks of suffering from
heart disease or cancer—it is a failure of human behavior.
Planetary problems like terrorism, global warming, and the AIDS
epidemic make the point just as profoundly. Some of the most
important problems facing the human race escalate through
human behavior. And why?
Because we lack influence.
In a world filled with never-ending streams of new advances in
technology and improvements in leadership methods, problems
that can be solved with an invention, a well-delivered speech,
or an influx of capital and equipment have already been solved.
If articulating an argument or writing a check will eliminate a
challenge, you can bet that challenge has already been put to rest.
However, chronic, persistent problems can’t be solved so easily.
That’s because they’re rooted in human behavior, and behavioral-
based challenges typically won’t go away with a single potent
intervention. Unless and until we develop far more effective ways
of thinking about and exerting influence on human behavior, we
will never solve the most profound and persistent problems in our
organizations, our personal lives, and our world.

QUESTION 1
What are the main streams of influence, according to the Theory of Triadic Influence? Please provide examples factors/attributes that belong to each of those streams. What is the relationship/correlation between each of those streams?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
QUESTION 2
The PRECEDE-PROCEED approach has several key assessment/diagnosis phases. Please describe the epidemiological assessment. What are some key sources of data used in this assessment? Which main questions is this assessment is trying to address/answer?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
QUESTION 3
What specific questions the evaluators are bringing forward as they are trying to collect the necessary evaluation data? What are the three main types of evaluation discussed in the PRECEDE-PROCEED approach? What is each of them trying to identify, measure, evaluate?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
QUESTION 4
What are some of the key assumptions behind the PRECEDE-PROCEED approach? What are some of the key benefits of using this approach? What are some of the “real-life” examples of using this approach?
Your response should be at least 200 words in length.
Unit Lesson Study Guide
In Unit 4, we will continue to discuss health behavior and its association with factors that could influence such behaviors. These types of influences are referred to as multilevel factors of behaviors, and they typically fall into five main categories:
1. individual factors,
2. inter-personal factors,
3. organizational factors,
4. community factors, and
5. policy factors
Consider the following scenario:
A 50-year-old man may purposely postpone getting a prostate cancer test because he is scared of finding out that he may have prostate cancer. This is an example of an individual- level factor. However, we need to look into this further and consider the following: his inaction might also be influenced by his primary physician’s failure to actually recommend and insist that he would need to take the prostate test. Another factor might be the difficulty of scheduling an appointment due to either unavailable equipment or the unavailability of staff at his local clinic. Another limiting factor could be that the fee for the exam is so high he cannot afford it, and his insurance does not cover this type of procedure. Thus, all these interpersonal, organizational, and policy factors are influencing this man’s behavior to not complete the prostate test. Therefore, for health promotion practitioners, it is very important to be aware of all these factors so effective change strategies or interventions can be prescribed.
One of the multilevel theories that will be discussed is the Theory of Triadic Influence (TTI). TTI behaviors arise due to one’s current social situation, general cultural environment, and their personal characteristics. Any health-related behaviors are influenced by an individual’s decisions.

Resilience to Thrive Coaching A Science to Practice ApproachJoel Bennett
This is the slide deck for a presentation delivered to the Institute of Coaching in 2022. This interactive session will introduce participants to the 10 principles of the Resilience to Thrive (R2T) Coaching model/training developed and researched by Dr. Joel Bennett and colleagues from Organizational Wellness & Learning Systems. At its core, R2T situates resilience as one step in a broader aspirational framework that treats human beings as having an innate power to transform stress and challenges into positive growth experiences, across the lifespan. Participants will learn about resilience stories, set-point, working with triggers, job crafting, creating the “couch” of coaching, and the use of cognitive-behavioral worksheets and coaching tools that support the resilience to thrive journey. We will also showcase a 1-year follow-up evaluation study of coaching students who went through the R2T training. Results suggest the model holds promise as an adjunct to both wellness coaching and mental health practice. To access the video recording please checkout IOC

Bad Apples, Good Citizens, and HR: Behavioral Risk Management=WellnessJoel Bennett
(Presentation from HR Southwest) 2016
(www.organizationalwelllness.com)
+ Human resource professionals have core competencies that can transform the addictive workplace and unhealthy work cultures BECAUSE they can reduce counterproductive behaviors due to mental health issues
+ Substance abuse (alcohol, illicit, prescription) and incivility (bullying, harassment) are often correlated and reduce worker productivity
+ These counterproductive behaviors (CWBs) go together, but policies tend to treat them as separate
+ Recent growth in wellness efforts neglect CWBs altogether, even though they undermine a culture of well-being
+ Studies also show that "bad apples" are not necessarily always bad and "good citizens" are not always good

ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.

P o l i c y
In recent years the federal
government has required
businesses to have a drug free
workplace policy.
As a rule, these policies focus on
dealing with workers as individually
susceptible to substance use
problems, rather than on the social
context that may surround
substance use.

Policy Formation
Over the past twenty years, an increasing number of workplaces have
developed substance use policies.
This model shows a standard view of how policy is formed.
First, the possibility of
substance use leads to
the development of policy,
which can include testing,
education, discipline, and
access to help, usually
through an Employee

The Team Awareness training was
developed in three conceptual stages
and according to previous research.
Stage 1: The Negative Cycle
Previous research suggested that a
negative cycle may prevent coworkers
or work groups from dealing with
employee problems.
an employee shows some problem behavior (e.g.,
excessive absence, working with a hangover),
coworkers neutralize (enable,
minimize, deny, rationalize),
the problem continues,
a climate of enabling develops

Stage 2: Correlates of Neutralization
Our research suggest five factors
correlate with this negative cycle.
5 – Employees with substance abuse
problems are psychologically
withdrawn or antagonistic.
4 – Employees tolerate coworkers who
have problems.
3 – Employees experience stress or job
tension.
2 – Work groups lack communication
skills to deal with the problem (i.e.,
alienation, low group cohesion).
1 – Employees are either not aware of
policy or consider it meaningless.

29. Slide 29 of 52
Stage 3: Training Goals
For each of the five areas
that relate to enabling and
neutralization, we
developed training
objectives.
These five training
objectives were used to
help develop actual
training materials and
manuals.
These materials are
available from this web-
site.
• Purpose
Enhance team communication for work groups
to help reduce any risks related to substance use
• Objective 1: Relevance
Explore how this training can help you and
your group and identify Risks and Strengths
• Objective 2: Team Ownership of Policy
Understand how substance use policy protects
employees and requires shared responsibility
• Objective 3: Understanding Stress
Understand the relationship between stress,
substance abuse, and communication. Identify
resources for healthy (versus unhealthy) coping.
• Objective 4: Understanding Tolerance
Identify risky levels of tolerance at individual
and group levels and adjust if necessary.
• Objective 5: Support, Encourage Help
Improve effective listening, nudge coworkers
to get help, address resistance to change.
• Goals
1 - Increase supportive group climate
2 - Improve attitudes (policy, tolerance)
3 - Increase help-seeking behavior/peer referral

Health & Human Services
This report combines three different methods of assessing drug
and alcohol use prevalence in the workforce: (1) self-report,
(2) perceptions of use among coworkers, and (3) urine screens.
The report addresses five major aspects of drug use, including
alcohol, in the work setting of municipal employees. These
include (1) prevalence of drug use by employees while off-the-job
as well as while in the workplace, (2) employee
sociodemographic and background characteristics which are
related to drug use, (3) work environment characteristics which
are related to employee drug use, (4) employee performance
indicators which are related to drug use, and (5) validation of self-
reported drug use data via urinalysis.

Employee substance use and on-the-job behaviors
Wayne E. K. Lehman and D. Dwayne Simpson
Journal of Applied Psychology 1992 Jun; Vol 77(3): 309-321
Substance use and job behaviors were assessed in a sample of
municipal employees from a large city in the southwestern United
States. Job behaviors included psychological and physical
withdrawal, positive work behaviors, and antagonistic work
behaviors. Employees who reported substance use at or away
from work were found to more frequently engage in withdrawal
activities and antagonistic work behaviors than did nonusers,
although users and nonusers did not differ on positive work
behaviors. Hierarchical regression models were tested to
determine whether substance use contributed unique variance to
the prediction of job behaviors after controlling for variance
associated with personal and job background domains.
Substance use added unique variance to the prediction of
psychological and physical withdrawal behaviors but not to
positive or antagonistic work behaviors.

Employee accidents: Influences of personal

use in jobs differing in accident potential
Melvin L. Holcom, Wayne E. K. Lehman, and D. Dwayne Simpson
Journal of Safety Research, 1993 Win; Vol 24(4): 205-221
Assessed relationships between employee substance use and
accidents (i.e., injury and noninjury accidents) at work in a
sample of 1,325 municipal employees. A questionnaire was used
to gather self-reported information on general deviance, job
structure and job attitude, and personal drug and alcohol use at
and away from work. Ss were classified into low- and high-risk
job samples, and discriminant function analyses were computed
within job samples to classify Ss into "no accident" and "some
accident" classifications. Results indicate that Ss likely to have
accidents tended to have dysfunctional personal backgrounds
and reported that they were dissatisfied and tense at work.
Associating with substance-using peers, high levels of
depression, and low levels of religious service attendance were
characteristic of Ss who had accidents. Drug and alcohol use
were major discriminators of accident groups for the high-risk job
sample but not for the low-risk job sample.

Social categorization and the influence of drug
involvement on drug attitude structures:
Implications for assessing drug use and tolerance
in the workplace
Melvin L. Holcom, Wayne E. K. Lehman, and Charles C. Lord
Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 1993 Dec; Vol 23(23): 1968-1988
A sample of 78 adults completed questionnaires assessing drug
attitude/involvement, a drug user similarity sorting task, and a
drug user profiling task. Data indicated that greater drug exposure
tended to foster more complex knowledge structures for drugs
and drug users as revealed by Ss' perceptions of drug users,
tolerance for drug use, and perceptions of drug seriousness.
Basically, high drug involvement in terms of personal alcohol use
and associating with illicit drug users was related to greater
individuation of drug user types. Therefore, high-involved Ss,
relative to low-involved Ss, were better able to discriminate
between different drug user subtypes, and drug user subtypes
were more important to high-involved Ss when responding to
drug-related survey items.

Wayne E. K. Lehman, David J. Farabee, Melvin L. Holcom, and
D. Dwayne Simpson
Journal of Drug Issues, 1995 Spr; Vol 25(2): 253-274
Assessed the relationships of personal and job factors with
substance use in municipal workers. 1,325 employees (aged
below 30 yrs and above 40 yrs) from 109 different workgroups
completed the "Employee Health and Performance in the
Workplace" questionnaire. Results indicated that both personal
and job domains significantly predict substance use at and away
from the workplace. Employees who use illicit drugs or other
drugs at work tend to be young, single males who do not attend
religious services regularly, have low self-esteem, an arrest
history, and have family members and friends with drug problems.
Further, drug users experience higher levels of job tension and
appear more estranged from work than nondrug users. They have
lower levels of job satisfaction, faith in management, job
involvement, and organizational commitment.

Employee attitude crystallization and substance
use policy: Test of a classification scheme
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Journal of Drug Issues, 1996, Vol. 26(4), 831-864
Previous research suggests that employees are often unaware of
or ambivalent toward substance abuse policies. These studies
focus on one policy component—drug-testing—and fail to
distinguish employees with clear (or crystallized) from unclear
attitudes. The current study explored a broader view of policy and
examined both personal and situational factors that may
determine attitudes. Survey data from employees in three
municipalities support a distinction among five attitude categories;
those who are: (a) dissatisfied with efforts to control employee
abuse, (b) satisfied, (c) anti-policy, (d) pro-policy, and (e)
uninformed. Discriminant analyses suggest that different profiles
characterize these attitude groups. For example, dissatisfied
employees report low personal alcohol use, high co-worker
alcohol use, and low self-referral whereas anti-policy employees
report high personal drug use, high co-worker use, and low job
identity. Discussion focuses on policy as a social construction and
the implications of attitude distinctions for employee training.

Ethnic differences in the workplace environment by
employees in two municipal workforces
Jamie K. Forst and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Hispanic Journal of the Behavioral Sciences 1997 Feb; Vol 19(1): 84-96
Cultural scripts have been proposed to suggest that Hispanics will
respond differently than non-Hispanics when asked questions
about personal issues such as workplace attitudes. This study
evaluated self-report questionnaires between 2 samples of
Hispanic and non-Hispanic municipal employees regarding
productivity-related work behaviors, personal background variables,
and job climate variables. Sample 1 had 1,068 Ss (70% Hispanic,
20% Anglo, and 8% African-American, 64% male), and sample 2
consisted of 1,081 Ss (14% Hispanic, 55% Anglo, 29% African-
American, 63% male). Minimal evidence was found in either
sample to suggest systematic response differences based on
cultural scripts, and even less evidence to suggest that these
differences are moderated by gender. The authors discuss the
findings in terms of the acculturation level among Hispanic Ss.

From dual policy to dual attitudes:
The Social construction of substance use policy
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Review of Public Personnel Administration, 1997; Vol 17(1): 58-83
Administrators of workplace substance use policies often
coordinate many components such as drug-testing, discipline,
EAP, and employee awareness. Analyses from two
municipalities (ns = 1,068, 1,081) indicated that employees who
most disfavor all policy components -- particularly drug-testing --
report higher frequencies of alcohol drunkenness. In contrast,
employees with the most punitive attitudes report the highest
levels of exposure to co-worker use. Finally, those who favor an
educative approach report higher levels of alcohol use but not
alcohol problems or drug use. Policy administrators are likely to
benefit from listening to and addressing these differences in
policy attitudes.

Employee views of organizational wellness and the
EAP: Influence on substance use, drinking
climates, and policy attitudes
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Employee Assistance Quarterly 1997; Vol 13(1): 55-71.
Examined the influence of organizational wellness and the Employee
Assistance Program (EAP) on substance use, and developed the
Organizational Wellness Scale (OWS) to assess perceptions of
healthy work climates. 799 city employees completed measures of
employee health and performance, EAP attitudes, the OWS, and
measures of personal substance use, work climate, and attitudes
toward policy. Employee views of organizational wellness correlated
significantly (negatively) with self-reports of substance use,
perceptions of personal and co-worker enabling of substance use, and
co-worker alcohol and drug use. Employees who perceived their
workplace as healthy also reported less personal and co-worker
substance use. Comparable relationships between EAP attitudes and
substance use were generally not as reliable or consistent. Employees
who said they would use or recommend the EAP reported less alcohol
use, personal enabling, co-worker enabling, and co-worker drinking.
Positive views of organizational wellness or the EAP were associated
with favorable attitudes toward substance use policy.

Perceptions and correlates of co-worker
substance use
Wayne E. K. Lehman, David J. Farabee, and Joel B. Bennett
Employee Assistance Quarterly ,1998; Vol 13(4): 1-22.
Assessed data from 1,491 completed questionnaires of municipal
workers regarding co-worker substance use. Employee
perceptions and consequences of co-worker substance use were
assessed to (1) examine perceptions of co-worker use as
supplemental measures of substance use problems in
organizations, and (2) examine relationships with employee
perceptions and attitudes. Support was found for the hypothesis
that exposure to co-worker substance use is negatively associated
with job performance and attitudes. Results suggest the utility of
evaluating perceptions of co-worker substance use in
assessments of drug use in the workplace. Results have
implications for training and education programs, which should
emphasize substance use is a problem that extends beyond the
substance-using employee.

Workplace drinking climate, stress, and problem
indicators: Assessing the influence of teamwork
(group cohesion)
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Journal of Studies on Alcohol, 1998 Sep; Vol 59(5): 608-618
Hypothesized that either exposure to co-worker drinking or the
presence of a drinking climate would positively correlate with reports of
stress and other problems. Following previous research, we also
predicted that work group cohesion (or team orientation) would buffer
against such problems. Two random samples totaling 1,977 municipal
employees completed anonymous surveys. These assessed individual
drinking, co-worker drinking, task-oriented group cohesion, the direct
reports of negative consequences due to co-worker substance use,
and 5 problem indicators: job stress, job withdrawal, health problems,
and performance (work accidents and absences). In each sample,
drinking climate correlated with stress and withdrawal more so than did
reports of individual drinking. Drinking climate and individual job stress
were negatively associated with cohesion. Drinking climate combined
with low cohesion resulted in increased vulnerability for all 5 problems.
Moreover, cohesion appeared to buffer the negative effects of drinking
climate.

Change, transfer climate, and customer orientation:
A contextual model and analysis of
change-driven training
Joel B. Bennett , Wayne E. K. Lehman, and Jamie K. Forst
Group and Organization Management, 1999 Jun; Vol 24(2): 188-216
The success of large-scale or "paradigm change" training programs often
hinge on work climate factors that support transfer of training. Focus
groups (N = 70) and survey data from both trained (N = 564) and
untrained (N = 345) municipal employees were used to assess
perceptions related to change (e.g., role ambiguity) and transfer climate
that constrained or facilitated their use of Total Quality (TQ) training.
Employees who felt blocked from applying training reported significantly
less customer orientation than untrained employees, whereas those
reporting a helpful transfer climate reported significantly more customer
orientation than the untrained group. Regression analyses suggested that
controlling for contextual factors (e.g., department affiliation), both a
change and stress climate and, to a lesser extent, transfer climate (e.g.,
supervisor and coworker support) predicted customer orientation. Results
have implications for organizational development practitioners and
managers who seek to improve transfer of training in the midst of
organizational change and stress.

The relationship between problem coworkers and
quality work practices: A case study of exposure to
sexual harassment, substance abuse, violence and
job stress.
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Work & Stress, 1999 Oct-Dec, 13(4), 299-311
The current study examined employees’ exposure to co-worker
behavioral problems (violence/hostility, sexual harassment, and
substance abuse) and organizational climate factors that support
total quality (TQM) work practices. Utilizing survey data from a
municipal organization (n = 764), regression analyses (a) assessed
whether exposure to problems was associated with climate
(teamwork, customer orientation, empowerment), and (b) compared
problem co-workers with other job stress indices (e.g., conflict,
strain). Analyses controlled for personal (e.g., job commitment) and
organizational factors. Relationships were found between employee
emotional reactions to witnessing violence/harassment and both
teamwork and empowerment. Job strain also correlated with
empowerment. Results suggest that researchers may benefit from
further study of co-worker exposure and from creating links between
behavioral risk management and quality work practices (TQM).

Employee exposure to coworker substance use and
negative consequences: The moderating effects of work
group membership
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Journal of Health and Social Behavior; 1999 Sep; Vol. 40(3): 307-322.
This study examined the relationship between individual exposure to
coworker substance use, and the moderating effects of work group
membership, and negative consequences resulting from exposure. A
Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM) was conducted across 2 samples of
male municipal employees (n = 650, 878; n = 50, 49 groups). Results
revealed that groups with higher proportions of jobs involving risk (e.g.,
machine work) and groups with a strong drinking climate were most
vulnerable to negative consequences under conditions of exposure.
Importantly, findings controlled for individual risk factors (e.g., personal
drinking, job stress). A discussion examines the implications of this study
for theory and policy related to workplace substance abuse.

Team awareness for workplace substance abuse
prevention: The empirical and conceptual development
of a training program
Joel B. Bennett, Wayne E. K. Lehman and G. Shawn Reynolds
Prevention Science, 2000, Sept.. 1(3), 157-172
Describes the empirical and theoretical development of a training program
to help reduce/prevent employee alcohol and drug abuse and enhance
aspects of the work group environment that support ongoing prevention.
The paper (1) examines the changing social context of the workplace (e.g.,
teamwork, privacy issues) as relevant for prevention, (2) reviews studies
that assess risks and protective factors in employee substance abuse
(work environment, group processes, and employee attitudes), (3)
provides a conceptual model that focuses on work group processes
(enabling, neutralization of deviance) as the locus of prevention efforts, (4)
describes an enhanced team-oriented training that was derived from
previous research and the conceptual model, and (5) describes potential
applications of the program. The research and conceptual model may
help prevention scientists to assess the organizational context of any
workplace prevention strategy. The need for this team-oriented approach
may be greater among employees who experience risks such as
workplace drinking climates, social alienation, and policies that emphasize
deterrence (drug testing) over educative prevention.

Workplace Substance Abuse Prevention and Help-
Seeking: Comparing a Team-Oriented and
Informational Training
Joel B. Bennett and Wayne E. K. Lehman
Journal of Occupational Health Psychology, 2001, 6 (3), 243-254
Employees fail to seek help for alcohol or drug (AOD) abuse
because of unhealthy work climates, stigma, and distrust in
employee assistance programs (EAP). To address such problems,
groups of municipal employees (n = 260) were randomly assigned
to two types of training: a 4-hour informational review of EAP and
policy, and an 8-hour training that embedded messages about
AOD reduction in the context of team-building and stress
management. Pre- and post-training and six-month follow-up
surveys assessed change. Group privacy regulation, EAP trust,
help-seeking and peer encouragement increased for team training.
Stigma of substance users decreased for information training.
EAP/policy knowledge increased for both groups. A control group
showed little change. Help-seeking and peer encouragement also
predicted EAP utilization. Integrating both team and informational
training may be the most effective for improving help-seeking and
utilization of the EAP.

Team and Informational Trainings for Workplace
Substance Abuse Prevention
Wayne E. K. Lehman, G. Shawn Reynolds, and Joel B. Bennett
In J.B. Bennett, W.E.K. Lehman eds. Moving beyond drug testing: Recent
innovations in workplace substance abuse prevention. American
Psychological Association (in preparation).
A team-based training for workplace substance abuse prevention
was developed to increase the awareness of substance abuse as a
group problem rather than an individual event. Major objectives were
to examine and address the role that work group culture and social
dynamics play in enabling substance use and how use by any
member can negatively impact other workgroup members. This
training was implemented in two municipal workforces – one was
from a medium-sized city and included all city departments (except
for fire and police); the other was a larger city and the training was
implemented in three departments identified as at-risk for substance
abuse problems. An evaluation design compared the team training to
an informational training and a no-training control group using
random assignment of workgroups to condition and a pre-test/post-
test design. The results indicated that both trainings increased
awareness of the EAP and substance abuse policy. The team-based
training was successful at decreasing drinking climates at post-test
and a six-month follow-up in the at-risk departments.

Supervisor tolerance-responsiveness to substance abuse
and workplace prevention training: use of a cognitive
mapping tool
Bennett, Joel B.; Lehman, Wayne E. K.
Health Education Research, 2002, 17 (1), 27-42.
Supervisor tolerance-responsiveness refers to the attitudes and behaviors
associated with either ignoring, or taking proactive steps with troubled
employees. Two studies were conducted to examine and improve
responsiveness to employee substance abuse. Study 1 examined
supervisor response to and tolerance of coworker substance use and ways
of interfacing with the Employee Assistance Program (EAP) in two
workplaces (ns = 244 and 107). These surveys suggested that engaging
supervisors in a dialogue about tolerance might improve willingness to use
the EAP. Study 2 was a randomized field experiment that assessed a team-
oriented training. This training adopted a cognitive mapping technique to
improve supervisor responsiveness. Supervisors receiving this training (n
= 29) were more likely to improve on several dimensions of responsiveness
than were supervisors who received a more didactic, l training (n =23), or a
no-training control group (n = 17). Procedures and maps from the mapping
activity are described. Results indicate that while tolerance of coworker
substance use inhibits EAP utilization, it may be possible to address this
tolerance using prevention training in the work-site.

Job Risk and Employee Substance Use:
The Influence of Personal Background and Work
Environment Factors
Lehman, Wayne E. K.; Bennett, Joel B.;
American Journal of Alcohol and Drug Abuse, 2002 (in press)
Previous studies suggest that employees who work in jobs with physical
risk report more substance use than employees working in non-risky jobs.
This study examined the extent to which this relationship could be
explained by personal background, specifically general deviance, or work
characteristics (e.g., job stressors). Results from two worksites (ns = 943,
923) indicated that the relationship of job risk and alcohol problems could
be fully explained by personal characteristics, particularly deviant behavior
styles, but not by work characteristics. The relationship between job risk
and illicit drug use was not explained by either personal or job background
factors. Drinking climate also predicted substance use. Additional analyses
indicated significant interactions between variables that served as markers
for personal background (deviance) and environment (drinking climate).
Employees with more deviant characteristics were susceptible to substance
use when they worked in drinking climates or were exposed to coworker
drinking. These latter results support the use of workplace interventions
that target the social environment as a way to ameliorate the negative
effects of job-related risks for substance abuse.
