Abstract

Abstract Objectives Enhancing employees’ perceived organizational support (POS) is crucial for organizations, and one effective approach is enhancing supervisors’ POS. However, there is limited research focusing specifically on enhancing supervisors’ POS. We aimed to investigate the influence of occupational health staff’s involvement for supervisors on their POS. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted using an online survey targeting supervisors in various industries across Japan. We assessed supervisors’ POS using 8 effective items of the Japanese version of the Survey of Perceived Organizational Support. Data were collected on the involvement of occupational health staff in providing supervisors with training on workplace health management and guidance on addressing specific subordinates with health concerns. The association between this involvement and POS was assessed through multiple regression analyses. Results The study involved 541 supervisors with occupational health staff at their workplace in the final analysis. Training from occupational health staff was significantly associated with an increase in POS at follow-up after adjustment for potential confounders, including demographic variables and POS at baseline. Similarly, guidance from occupational health staff was also significantly associated with increased POS. This effect was particularly notable in small workplaces. Conclusions Our study indicates that occupational health staff’s involvement in supporting supervisors can contribute to enhancing supervisors’ POS, especially in small workplaces. These findings suggest that by developing structured systems and establishing specific roles for occupational health staff, organizations may effectively enhance supervisors’ POS.
