title = "Management support and worksite health promotion program effectiveness",
abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and use of management support measures in two worksite health promotion intervention trials. Results from the two intervention trials suggest that management support for health promotion can be assessed and tracked over time using both perceptual and observational measures. These results also provide initial evidence that an increase in management support can contribute to positive changes in health related behaviors and outcomes. Specifically, longitudinal results from the two studies suggest that interventions designed to increase management support for health promotion resulted in changes in perceptions of management support, actual changes in the work and organizational environment. Preliminary results in these studies also suggest that increased management support is important in weight loss.",
