CARVALHO, Isabel Silva. Psychological climate as a predictor of hospital professionals health and well‑being. Psicologia [online]. 2007, vol.21, n.1, pp.27-58. ISSN 0874-2049.
Abstract: Psychological climate as a proximal representation of organizational structures, processes and events (Rousseau, 1988) as well as a meaning attribution processes in the work context (Weick, 1995) as been reported as an important predictor of individual beahviour, health, and well‑being in organizations (Parker, Baltes, Young, Huff, Altmann, Lacost & Roberts, 2003). In this study we examine the relationship between psychological climate and health and well‑being of health care professionals. Drawing on Jones and James (1979) model of psychological climate, several facets of climate are measured as well as multiple dimensions of health and well‑being: perception of physical health, vitality, cognitive functioning, social functioning, and affective well‑being. Results suggested that psychological climate is a strong predictor of employees health and well‑being. Results also suggested that work satisfaction mediates the relationship between perceptions of work and environment characteristics and health and well‑being. Practical implications are discussed and interventions to improve quality of work life are suggested.
