Organisational Health Behavior Climate: Organisations Can Encourage Healthy Eating and Physical Exercise
开发并验证了一个涵盖健康饮食和体育锻炼两个领域的组织健康行为氛围多维测量工具，通过三项独立研究确认其结构效度和预测效度，对组织健康干预研究有用。
This paper presents a multi‐dimensional measure of organisational climate covering two domains of health behavior (healthy eating, physical exercise). To develop and validate the climate measure, we conducted three independent studies. In Study 1, items were generated and evaluated in expert ratings and confirmatory factor analyses ( N = 483 employees), resulting in a total of 24 items comprising three dimensions (values and expectations, organisational practices, communication) within the domains of healthy eating and physical exercise. Study 2 cross‐validated the factor structure of this measure of organisational health behavior climate (OHBC), and examined its nomological net. Based on data from 464 employees, we found significant correlations among OHBC and other dimensions of organisational climate (e.g. employee welfare, safety climate), healthy eating and exercise identity, eating behavior, and body mass index (BMI). Study 3 demonstrated within‐organisation agreement and between‐organisation differences in OHBC, and replicated the factor structure with a multi‐level data set ( N = 1,077 employees from 48 organisations). This new measure assesses organisational eating climate and exercise climate in a comprehensive way, opening up multiple avenues for future research and evaluation studies in organisations.
