摘要

近二十年來。國際間的工作人群健康已成為漸受關注的一個領域。世界經濟與快速科技發展的全球化改變了勞動及職業型態，使員工暴露於新的健康風險中。這對於各國的工作機構帶來了嚴峻的挑戰，所以對關心職場健康的有關單位及學術研究與專業人士，探討如何有效地維護與促進員工的健康是一個非常重要的課題。
本文探討全球化與工作及就業型態的改變下，對職工健康與安全的影響；並且在處理影響工作場所與職工健康的多種因素方面，提出一套全盤性工作場所健康管理的模式，最近這套模式已發展為國際工作場所健康促進的重要方法。本文首先從近來全球化趨勢及科技發展的背景來探討變化中的工作型態及其對員工的健康影響。尤其本文更強調出與工作場所壓力增加有關的心理健康方面的問題。最後，本文則加以說明整合性工作場所健康管理(Integrative workplace health manage是包含健康促進、疾病預防、安全管理與組織發展等全面性的計劃）模式並討論此模式在國際間的發展與成果。
