The results indicate that organizations implementing ABWs should promote perceived meaningfulness in the process to mitigate possible declines in satisfaction with the physical and psychosocial work environment.Īctivity-based workplaces health implementation: well-being sense of coherence work satisfaction. Interviews suggested that meaningfulness was facilitated by participation in the presented activities and that communication before relocation was crucial. Background and historical chapters trace the development of the salutogenic model of health, and flesh out the central concepts, most notably generalized resistance resources and the sense of coherence, that differentiate it from pathogenesis. All SOC indicators were positively associated with overall health, well-being and work satisfaction ( p < 0.001). The reduction in work satisfaction was smaller among employees with high meaningfulness in the relocation process ( p < 0.001). Relocation to an ABW was associated with a reduced work satisfaction (physical p 0.001). Data were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA and content analysis. Focus group interviews (15) were conducted before and after. Semi-structured interviews at Special Educators were also conducted and. Questionnaires were administered before ( n = 536), 3 months ( n = 409) and 9 months ( n = 373) after relocation. The Sense of Coherence (SOC) was administered to 37 people with Cerebral Palsy. We followed the implementation of ABWs at the Swedish Transport Administration (2018-2019).

Drawing on the theoretical framework, i.e., sense of coherence (SOC), the aim was to investigate how indicators pf SOC-meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility-are associated with, or function as barriers or facilitators for, health, well-being and work satisfaction during relocation to an ABW. Activity-based workplaces (ABWs) are implemented with possible implications for health, well-being, and work satisfaction in the workplace.
