在本研究中，我们描述了三个拉丁美洲国家农业工人经历的工作需求和工作资源（JD-R）及其与工作中主动健康行为和整体健康的关系。根据之前对 JD-R 模型的研究，我们假设工作需求（H1）与农业工人自我报告的整体健康状况呈负相关。另一方面，我们假设工作资源（H2）与农业工人的整体健康呈正相关。此外，我们假设（H3），工人通过工作中主动的健康行为参与工作场所健康促进实践将部分调节工人的工作资源和工作需求以及整体健康之间的关系。我们还有一个研究问题 (R1)，即不同工作类型是否存在差异。参与这项研究的工人样本（N = 1,861）在墨西哥、危地马拉和尼加拉瓜一家生产甘蔗的大型农业企业工作。他们在两个不同的领域工作：公司管理和农业经营。我们使用专门为满足这两类工人的需求而定制的调查方法来管理员工健康和安全文化调查。分层路径分析模型用于检验研究假设。总的来说，我们发现了假设 1 和 2 的支持。例如，操作人员报告的体力要求更高的工作，而行政人员报告的工作相关压力更大。无论如何，高工作要求的存在与这两类工人的整体健康状况较差有关。我们发现，在更有利于健康的工作环境中的员工会在工作中表现出更积极主动的健康行为，无论他们在组织中的角色如何。然而，假设 3 并未得到支持，因为工作中的主动健康行为与整体健康无关。我们讨论未来的研究需求，评估拉丁美洲中小型农业企业以及非正规经济部门雇用的工人的这些假设。我们还讨论了对寻求制定满足所有工人需求的健康促进计划的农业企业的重要影响。
In the present study, we describe the job demands and job resources (JD-R) experienced by agricultural workers in three Latin American countries and their relationship to proactive health behaviors at work and overall health. Following previous research on the JD-R model, we hypothesized that job demands (H1) would be negatively related to agricultural workers' self-reported overall health. On the other hand, we hypothesized that job resources (H2) would be positively related to agricultural workers' overall health. Furthermore, we hypothesized (H3) that workers' engagement in jobsite health promotion practices via their proactive health behaviors at work would partially mediate the relationship between workers' job resources and job demands and overall health. We also had a research question (R1) about whether there were differences by type of job held. The sample of workers who participated in this study (N = 1,861) worked in Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua for one large agribusiness that produces sugar cane. They worked in two distinct areas: company administration and agricultural operations. We administered employee health and safety culture surveys using survey methods tailored to meet the needs of both types of workers. Stratified path analysis models were used to test study hypotheses. In general, we found support for hypotheses 1 and 2. For example, operations workers reported more physically demanding jobs and administrative workers reported more work-related stress. Regardless, the existence of high job demands was associated with poorer overall health amongst both types of workers. We found that workers in more health-supportive work environments perform more proactive health behaviors at work, regardless of their role within the organization. However, hypothesis 3 was not supported as proactive health behaviors at work was not associated with overall health. We discuss future research needs in terms of evaluating these hypotheses amongst workers employed by small- and medium-sized agribusinesses as well as those in the informal economy in Latin America. We also discuss important implications for agribusinesses seeking to develop health promotion programs that meet the needs of all workers.
