Research evidence indicates that psychosocial stressors such as work-life stress serves as a negative occupational exposure relating to poor health behaviors including smoking, poor food choices, low levels of exercise, and even decreased sleep time, as well as a number of chronic health outcomes. The association between work-life stress and adverse health behaviors and chronic health suggests that Occupational Health Psychology (OHP) interventions such as leadership support trainings may be helpful in mitigating effects of work-life stress and improving health, consistent with the Total Worker Health approach. This presentation will review workplace psychosocial stressors and leadership training approaches to reduces stress and improve health, highlighting a randomized controlled trial, the Military Employee Sleep and Health study.
