Abstract Background Peer workers (those with lived/living experience of substance use working in overdose response settings) are at the forefront of overdose response initiatives in British Columbia (BC). Working in these settings can be stressful, with lasting social, mental and emotional impacts. Peer workers have also been disproportionately burdened by the current dual public health crises characterized by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and rise in illicit drug overdose deaths. It is therefore critical to develop supports tailored specifically to their realities. Methods We used the six steps outlined in the Intervention Mapping (IM) framework to identify needs of peer workers and design an intervention model to support peer workers in overdose response settings. Results Eight peer-led focus groups were conducted in community settings to identify peer workers’ needs and transcripts were analyzed using interpretive description. The strategies within the intervention model were informed by organizational development theory as well as by lived/living experience of peer workers. The support needs identified by peer workers were categorized into three key themes and these formed the basis of an intervention model titled ‘ROSE’; R stands for Recognition of peer work, O for Organizational support, S for Skill development and E for Everyone. The ROSE model aims to facilitate cultural changes within organizations, leading towards more equitable and just workplaces for peer workers. This, in turn, has the potential for positive socio-ecological impact. Conclusions Centering lived/living experience in the intervention mapping process led us to develop a framework for supporting peer workers in BC. The ROSE model can be used as a baseline for other organizations employing peer workers.

AbstractThis manuscript documents the development of an innovative individual-level peer navigation intervention “Salud y Orgullo Mexicano” (SOM) designed to increase linkage and retention to HIV care for Mexican men who have sex with men (MSM) in Chicago, Illinois. The intervention was developed via a modified intervention mapping process. Elements of two existing interventions were combined and refined with input from the Mexican MSM community, including informant interviews, an expert advisory board, and a design team. A manualized transnational intervention was developed via intervention mapping. A peer health navigation intervention “SOM” was created using intervention mapping and input from the focus community. Next steps include implementing and evaluating the intervention to determine acceptability and efficacy.

Abstract Background Sustained delivery of evidence-based treatments (EBTs) is essential to addressing the public health and economic impacts of youth mental health problems, but is complicated by the limited and fragmented funding available to youth mental health service agencies (hereafter, “service agencies”). Strategic planning tools are needed that can guide these service agencies in their coordination of sustainable funding for EBTs. This protocol describes a mixed-methods research project designed to (1) develop and (2) evaluate our novel fiscal mapping process that guides strategic planning efforts to finance the sustainment of EBTs in youth mental health services. Method Participants will be 48 expert stakeholder participants, including representatives from ten service agencies and their partners from funding agencies (various public and private sources) and intermediary organizations (which provide guidance and support on the delivery of specific EBTs). Aim 1 is to develop the fiscal mapping process: a multi-step, structured tool that guides service agencies in selecting the optimal combination of strategies for financing their EBT sustainment efforts. We will adapt the fiscal mapping process from an established intervention mapping process and will incorporate an existing compilation of 23 financing strategies. We will then engage participants in a modified Delphi exercise to achieve consensus on the fiscal mapping process steps and gather information that can inform the selection of strategies. Aim 2 is to evaluate preliminary impacts of the fiscal mapping process on service agencies’ EBT sustainment capacities (i.e., structures and processes that support sustainment) and outcomes (e.g., intentions to sustain). The ten agencies will pilot test the fiscal mapping process. We will evaluate how the fiscal mapping process impacts EBT sustainment capacities and outcomes using a comparative case study approach, incorporating data from focus groups and document review. After pilot testing, the stakeholder participants will conceptualize the process and outcomes of fiscal mapping in a participatory modeling exercise to help inform future use and evaluation of the tool. Discussion This project will generate the fiscal mapping process, which will facilitate the coordination of an array of financing strategies to sustain EBTs in community youth mental health services. This tool will promote the sustainment of youth-focused EBTs.

Currently, a church that wants to develop effectively needs to have an organizational structure that can accommodate the church’s missions and dynamically able to keep up with changing situations. The problem is, the Bible does not clearly record the organization of the church, so the church is often seen as an organism and tends to ignore organizational aspects. On the other hand, placing church as an organization alone will cause a declinein its divine nature as the body of Christ. This article aims to analyze the Pentecostal Church in Indonesia (GPdI), which in 2021 commemorate 100 years in Indonesia since their early start. The research was conducted qualitatively by anayzing content literatureof the GPdI's Memorandum of Association/Articles of Association (AD/ART), finding the biblical basis as well as theconceptual review of Organizational Development Theory. This article tries to present the relevance of church development and the concept of Organizational Development theory. The results of this study can be used as a parameter to map the condition of the church organization and an evaluation indicator to anticipate sustainable development efforts. Abstrak Indonesia  Saat ini gereja yang ingin berkembang secara efektif perlu memiliki tatanan organisasi yang dapat mengakomodasi misi gereja dan secara dinamis mampu mengikuti perubahan situasi. Masalahnya, Alkitab tidak mencatat secara jelas hal pengorganisasian gereja, sehingga gereja sering dipandang sebagai organisme dan cenderung mengabaikan aspek organisasi. Di sisi lain, menempatkan gereja sebagai organisasi saja dapat menyebabkan kemerosotan kodrat ilahinya sebagai tubuh Kristus. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis Gereja Pantekosta di Indonesia (GPdI) yang pada tahun 2021 memperingati 100 tahun di Indonesia sejak awal dirintis. Penelitian dilakukan secara kualitatif dengan analisis konten literatur yang mengkaji isi Anggaran Dasar dan Anggaran Rumah Tangga GPdI, menemukan landasan biblikalnya serta tinjauan konseptual Teori Pengembangan Organisasi. Artikel ini mencoba menyajikan relevansi perkembangan gereja dan konsep teori Pengembangan Organisasi.Hasil penelitian ini dapat dijadikan parameter untuk memetakan kondisi organisasi gereja dan menjadi indikator evaluasi mengantisipasi upaya pengembangan yang berkelanjutan.

Objective.To provide a comprehensive understanding of the motivational factors and barriers that are important for compliance with high-intensity workplace physical exercise that is aimed at reducing musculoskeletal disorders.Method.The present study, which used semideductive, thematic, and structured in-depth interviews, was nested in a 20-week cluster randomised controlled trial among office workers. Interviews were conducted with 18 informants with diverse fields of sedentary office work who participated in strength training at the workplace for 20 minutes, three times per week. Organisational, implementational, and individual motives and barriers were explored.Results & Discussion.The results show that attention should be given to the interaction between the management, the employees, and the intervention, as the main barrier to compliance was the internal working culture. The results emphasised the need for a clear connection between the management’s implementational intentions and the actual implementation. The results emphasise the importance of ensuring the legitimacy of the intervention among managers, participants, and colleagues. Moreover, it is important to centrally organise, structure, and ensure flexibility in the working day to free time for participants to attend the intervention. Recommendations from this study suggest that a thorough intervention mapping process should be performed to analyse organisational and implementational factors before initiating workplace physical exercise training.

Tobacco industry is an important part of the national economy and a mainly sources of national fiscal revenue. The healthy and stable growth of the tobacco industry is of great significance to the country's economic development. In particular, the overall quality and work stability of human resources are the key factors for the development of the tobacco industry. Chinese post-1990s are gradually entering the workplace and becoming the backbone of society. However, their high-frequency turnover had different degrees of impact on the stability of the organization and their own career. So, the purpose of this study was to investigate thoroughlythe mechanisms of POS on turnover intention(TI) of post-1990s ofChina tobacco industry based on the mediation of OI, and the regulative effect of employability perception(EP). After collecting the results of questionnaires covering perceived organizational support, turnover intention, organizational identity and employability perception from 352 post-1990s employees of China tobacco industry, our hypotheses were tested using the Hierarchical Regression Analysis (HRA). Results displayed that there was a significant negative correlation between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Turnover intention of post-1990s employees was significant negative impacted by Organizational identity and employability perception. Internal employability perception(IEP) had a greater impact on TI than that of external employability perception(EEP). Organizational identity played a partly positive mediating effect between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Employability perception played a negative moderating role between POS and TI of post-1990s employees. Furthermore, the moderating effect of internal employability was greater than that of external employability, and the post-1990s employees with higher employability were more sensitive to the effect onPOS on TI. Finally, this study provided suggestions for China tobacco industrythat strengthening the post-1990s employees' recognition of the organization, improving their overall self-awareness, and improving the level of organizational management were helpful to the career of post-1990s and organizational development.
