Abstract

Objective: The current study aims to examine the effects of mental health programs on well-being among highly engaged workers.

Methods: Participants were randomly allocated to body-mind-spiritual or peer support program. Of the whole sample, we examined participants' work engagement and positive affect from the highest quarter and the lowest quarter of work engagement at base-line. Measures were taken at baseline and 1-month intervals during 3-month programs and 3-month follow-up.

Results: The programs had decreasing effects on work engagement in the HWE subgroup. There is an increasing trend of positive affect on the HWE group only in the body-mind-spiritual program. The trajectories of work engagement in the HWE group moved toward a moderate level.

Conclusion: Our results suggest that the work engagement's decrease in the HWE group could be a sign of recovery and relaxation
