Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Investigate organizational, intrapersonal (expectations, risk, strain, self-care), and interpersonal (health-oriented leadership) factors as predictors for employees' participation in occupational health promotion (OHP) and the mediating effect of intention. Identifying moderators that strengthen the relationship between intention and participation. METHODS: Two cross-sectional studies using moderated mediation and moderator analyses analyzed data from N = 269 to N = 503 employees. RESULTS: Study 1 showed that favorable expectations and a supportive context predict participation via intention and strengthen the effect of intention on participation. The relationship between intention and participation was also stronger if leaders' staff-care was higher. Study 2 showed that the relationship between intention and participation was stronger, if employees' self-care was higher, and strain, neuroticism, and agreeableness was lower. CONCLUSIONS: Findings provide suggestions how organizations may increase participation by supporting employees in building intention and turning their intention into participation.
