Abstract
- With the increasing pressure to perform and physical and mental strain on employees, health-promoting initiatives are becoming more popular. This study examines factors that influence managers regarding the introduction of workplace health promotion in the Austrian hospitality industry. For the investigation, eleven interviews with hotel managers were conducted. Results show that managers attitude, employer attractiveness, and company needs are reasons for implementing workplace health promotion. High costs, time, and the employee's unwillingness to participate are reasons against it. But in order to keep employees in hospitality industry happy, healthy, and productive, it will be even more important in the future. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
