An Experimental Field-Study on Active and Passive Work Breaks in a Stressful Work Environment
(2017)
Work breaks are known to have positive effects on employees’ health, performance, and safety. However, prior research has focused mainly on their timing, duration, and frequency but less on break activities. Moreover, most studies examined work breaks in rather repetitive and physical demanding work. Thus, we conducted an experimental field study with a sample of employees’ working in a stressful and cognitive demanding working environment and examined how different types of work breaks (boxing, deep relaxation, and usual breaks) affect participants’ mood, cognitive performance, and neuro-physiological state.
Steigende psychische Arbeitsanforderungen werden im betrieblichen Alltag zunehmend als Normalität empfunden. Trotz erhöhtem Leistungsdruck werden Arbeitspausen oftmals unregelmäßig bis gar nicht wahrgenommen, obwohl mit einer Pause eine gesteigerte Erholung und eine erhöhte Produktivität einhergehen. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt auf, wie Arbeitspausen und deren systematische Implementierung zu einem "gesunden Unternehmen" beitragen können.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, health education programs and workplace health promotion (WHP) could only be offered under difficult conditions, if at all. In Germany for example, mandatory lockdowns, working from home, and physical distancing have led to a sharp decline in expenditure on prevention and health promotion from 2019 to 2020. At the same time, the pandemic has negatively affected many people’s mental health. Therefore, our goal was to examine audiovisual stimulation as a possible measure in the context of WHP, because its usage is contact-free, time flexible, and offers, additionally, voice-guided health education programs. In an online survey following a cross-sectional single case study design with 393 study participants, we examined the associations between audiovisual stimulation and mental health, work engagement, and burnout. Using multiple regression analyses, we could identify positive associations between audiovisual stimulation and mental health, burnout, and work engagement. However, longitudinal data are needed to further investigate causal mechanisms between mental health and the use of audiovisual stimulation. Nevertheless, especially with regard to the pandemic, audiovisual stimulation may represent a promising measure for improving mental health at the workplace.
Kommunikation gilt nicht ohne Grund als die Königsdisziplin im BGM. Hier gilt es, Mitarbeiter in einem ersten Schritt für das Thema Gesundheit zu sensibilisieren und mit relevanten Materialien zu informieren, um sie letztendlich zur Teilnahme an Gesundheitsangeboten zu motivieren. Diese drei Schritte empfehlen sich ebenfalls für die Kommunikation in digitalen Zeiten. Gesundheitsplattformen und/oder Gesundheits-Apps können die Kommunikation unterstützen. Das richtige Maß an Kommunikation stellt eine weitere Herausforderung in digitalen Zeiten dar, da Informationen in der Flut an E-Mails durchaus untergehen können. Eine Kombination aus Push- und Pull-Kommunikation hat sich hierbei bewährt, um bei Mitarbeitern das nötige Interesse für Gesundheit anzustoßen, damit diese dann eigenständig aus bestehenden Angeboten (Informationen, Kurse usw.) wählen.
