Leader Interventions for Psychological Health and Safety Solutions

Abstract

Psychological health (PH) is an integrative concept that is crucial to organizations. It encompasses the complementary dimensions of Well-Being and Distress. Both variable- and person-centered approaches can be used to investigate PH. Traditionally, PH research has taken a variable-centered approach, but Person-centered strategies offer a more intuitive, complete picture of employees as whole persons. Our objectives were to: Pinpoint the optimal conceptual representation of PH in the Canadian Defence Team (DT) based on a mixture of positive and negative indicators of PH, Identify PH profiles, and Relate membership in these profiles to the workplace resilience and risk factors identified in the National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace in order to identify key levers for leader-driven actions for positive change.
