The Effectiveness of Online Stress Management Training Interventions: A Systematic Literature review
The central aim of this systematic literature review study was to investigate the effectiveness of
online stress management training interventions that aimed to improve employees’ well-being.
The study focused both on the effectiveness of online stress management training interventions
and the sustainability of the intervention effects over time. Within this literature review 18
intervention studies, conducted worldwide among 3085 participants between 2002 and 2017,
were evaluated. Methodological quality was examined using the Mixed Methods Appraisal
Tool (MATT). In general, the main outcomes showed that most of the interventions turned out
to be effective in decreasing employees’ levels of stress. In addition, some of these studies also
revealed sustainability of intervention effects over time. This suggests that online stress
management interventions are a promising tool for organizations to foster employee
well-being
De weerspiegeling van het uiterlijk in het zelf: lichaamswaardering, zelfwaardering en sociale vergelijking
Over the past decades many studies have examined the relationship between body esteem and self-esteem. However, researchers have paid limited attention to factors that moderate this relationship. The present field study investigates the moderating effect of age and gender on the relationship between body esteem and self-esteem. Furthermore, this study examines the influence of social comparison on body esteem. Adult men and women (N = 765) filled out a questionnaire. The positive relationship between body esteem and self-esteem was replicated. Age and gender moderated the relationship between body esteem and self-esteem. Social comparison orientation, social comparison direction and gender influenced body esteem
The Impact of Personal Resources and Job Crafting Interventions on Work Engagement and Performance
This study examined the impact of organizational interventions on work engagement and performance. Based on the job demands-resources model, we hypothesized that a personal resources intervention and a job crafting intervention would have a positive impact on work engagement and performance. We used a quasi-experimental design with a control group. Primary school teachers participated in the study at two time points with six weeks between the measurements ( N = 102). The results showed that the personal resources intervention had a positive causal effect on work engagement. Additionally, the joint personal resources and job crafting intervention had a positive impact on self-ratings of job performance. We discuss the implications of these findings for theory and practice
