Enhancing person-job fit
Even though person-job fit (PJ fit) is a crucial predictor of employees' overall engagement and performance in their jobs, few studies have identified the mechanisms that enhance PJ fit during the employment relationship. Further, the models that do predict how PJ fit evolves over time are predominantly based on the idea that fit improves through individual adjustment processes by workers. This paper provides a new lens on PJ fit that is based on…

Dutch workers’ attitudes towards having a coworker with mental health issues or illness
The high tendency to the desire for social distance seems to contrast with the low number of respondents who personally had negative experiences with workers with MHI in the workplace. This suggests that the tendency to socially exclude this group was not based on their own experience. The finding that a large group of respondents indicated to want to learn more about how to deal with a co-worker with MHI is promising. Destigmatizing intervention…
Measuring sustainable employability

Workers' Decisions to Disclose a Mental Health Issue to Managers and the Consequences
Background: Stigma can be a barrier to accessing effective interventions and work accommodations for mental illnesses. Fear of stigma's concomitant prejudice and discrimination can inhibit workers from asking for help. Thus, it may be important to develop effective interventions addressing workplace stigma. To identify important targets for these interventions, this study addresses three questions: (1) what proportion of workers experiencing ment…
How can wellbeing at work and sustainable employability of gifted workers be enhanced? A qualitative study from a capability approach perspective
If gifted workers managed (to get) what they valued in work, this was associated with wellbeing and sustainable employment Coaching aimed at improving organizational awareness, specific social skills (e.g. small talk, adaptability) and understanding their own cognitive processes could be valuable. The application of an autonomy supporting facilitative leadership style by supervisors would be beneficial. Further research should try to confirm the …
Social stigma is an underestimated contributing factor to unemployment in people with mental illness or mental health issues
The paper concludes that stigma in the work context is a considerable and complex problem, and that there is an important knowledge gap especially regarding the long-term effects of stigma on unemployment. To prevent and decrease adverse occupational outcomes in people with mental illness or mental health issues there is an urgent need for high quality and longitudinal research on stigma related consequences for employment. In addition, more vali…
Language and stigmatization of individuals with mental health problems or substance addiction in the Netherlands
Persons with mental health problems and/or substance addictions (MHPSA) are stigmatised more than persons with physical conditions. This includes stigmatisation by care professionals. Stigma is considered one of the most important barriers for recovery from these conditions. There is an ongoing debate that use of language can exacerbate or diminish stigmatisation. Therefore, we conducted an experiment examining how four different ways of referrin…

Patients with Minor Mental Disorders Leading to Sickness Absence
Minor mental disorders are common among patients who visit their general practitioner. In the Netherlands, they are associated with high costs due to absenteeism, disability benefits and medical consumption (consumption of drugs as well as expenditure of medical staff's time). In the Netherlands, a protocol was developed for the treatment of minor mental disorders, based on the principles of brief cognitive behaviour therapy. The cost-effectivene…
DSM‐III‐R and ICD‐10 personality disorder features among women experiencing two types of self‐reported homesickness
This study investigated the intensity of DSM‐III–R and ICD‐10 personality disorder features among females experiencing self‐reported homesickness. Three groups were compared: ( a ) a group of women experiencing chronic feelings of homesickness (CHS); ( b ) a group of women experiencing episodic attacks of homesickness, each time they go on holidays (EHS); and ( c ) a group of healthy control females, recruited from the general population (HC). Th…
