Arbeit, Gesundheit, Erfolg : betriebliches Gesundheitsmanagement auf dem Prüfstand: das Projekt BiG
(2010)
Das Projekt "Benchmarking in einem Gesundheitsnetzwerk (BiG)" ist ein gefördertes FuE-Vorhaben des BMBF, das in Kooperation des Bereichs Health & Safety der Daimler AG mit der Abteilung für Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie der Universität Heidelberg über mehrere Jahre hinweg kontinuierlich durchgeführt wurde. Am Projekt beteiligte Partnerunternehmen waren die Deutsche Bahn AG, die REWE Group, die Neff GmbH und die Fraport AG. Die Projektziele waren:
- Aufzeigen von Wirkungszusammenhängen des Gesundheitsmanagements auf die Leistungsfähigkeit und -bereitschaft der Mitarbeiter sowie - darauf aufbauend - auf den ökonomischen Erfolg,
- Entwicklung von Ansatzpunkten zur Optimierung des betrieblichen Gesundheitsmanagements,
- Entwicklung einer aggregierten Kennzahl zur Darstellung der Güte des Gesundheitsmanagements (Gesundheitsindex).
Mit Beiträgen u.a. zur Entwicklung des Modells eines nachhaltigen Gesundheitsmanagements, über Instrumente zur Evaluation eines nachhaltigen Gesundheitsmanagements (Gesundheits-Index, Experten-Checkliste), zu Studien zum Gesundheitsindex, zur Mitarbeiterleistung und zum ökonomischen Nutzen sowie zu zu Führung, Gesundheit und Innovation, Gestaltungsperspektiven für die Praxis (Benchmarking als Methode zum Erfahrungsaustausch, Das BiG-Gestaltungsmodell zur Arbeitsumgebung, Best-Practice Ansätze).
Employee cooperation is fundamental for accomplishing successful organizational change processes. Therefore, it is important to understand how employees' cooperation can be supported in the context of organizational change. Based on the group engagement model, we hypothesized how procedural justice affects organizational identification which in turn should have an affect on employees' cooperation (commitment to change, values-congruence fit, and change-supporting behavior) in the context of organizational change. To test the fit of the proposed model, structural equation models were calculated using both cross-sectional (N = 315) and longitudinal (N = 110) data of academic staff at a German university. Results indicated adequate data fit to our proposed model and revealed that organizational identification mediated the positive effects of procedural justice on affective commitment to change and values-congruence fit. The assumed mediating effect of organizational identification on the positive relationship between procedural justice and change-supporting behavior could only be supported using cross-sectional data.

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper understanding of how transformational leadership relates to followers' innovation implementation behavior, the psychological mechanisms of this relationship, and the role of individual perceptions of climate for initiative.
Design/methodology/approach
Perceptual data were collected from 198 employees in lower and middle management positions of a multinational automotive corporation. Relationships were tested using hierarchical regression analysis.
Findings
Results demonstrate that transformational leadership was strongly related to followers' innovation implementation behavior and that the nature of this relationship was moderated by followers' levels of perceived climate for initiative. Additionally, commitment to change fully mediated the relationship between transformational leadership and followers' innovation implementation behavior.
Research limitations/implications
The paper is based on a cross‐sectional design. A causal interpretation requires studies with experimental or longitudinal designs.
Practical implications
Companies should invest in transformational leadership training and in the selection of supervisors with this leadership style before initiating the implementation of innovations. Enhancing contextual factors, such as a perceived climate for initiative, should be promoted by integrating them into organizations' reward systems.
Originality/value
The paper is one of the first to investigate the relationship between transformational leadership and followers' innovation implementation behavior. It specifies the organizational contexts under which transformational leadership is most likely related to innovation implementation behavior, and those in which such a relationship is unlikely to occur.
