2 Module Two Activity Article 1: Corporate Wellness Programs in Singapore: Effect on Stress, Satisfaction and Absenteeism Scholarly or non-scholarly? This scholarly article examines the effects of corporate wellness programs in Singapore on employee outcomes using a questionnaire on job satisfaction, work stress, and absenteeism. (Ho, 1997) Empirical or non-empirical? Ho (1997) empirically investigates the impact of corporate wellness programs in Singapore on stress, job satisfaction, and absenteeism. Positive effects were found to reduce stress and absenteeism and increase job satisfaction. The study provides valuable insights into implementing wellness programs in organizations through data analysis. Article 2: Impact of Worksite Wellness Intervention on Cardiac Risk Factors and One-Year Health Care Costs Scholarly or non-scholarly? This article is a scholarly study, evaluating a worksite intervention program's impact on health risk factors and healthcare costs published in the AJC. (Milani & Lavie, 2009) Empirical or non-empirical? Milani and Lavie's (2009) empirical study examines the impact of a worksite intervention program on health risk factors and healthcare costs over one year. Through data collection and analysis, the study provides tangible evidence of the program's effectiveness in improving health outcomes and reducing healthcare expenses in a real-world setting. Article 3: Effects of Occupational Stress Management Intervention Programs: A Meta-Analysis Scholarly or non-scholarly? Richardson and Rothstein (2008) conducted a scholarly meta-analysis on occupational stress management interventions, presenting detailed methodology, analysis, and their findings in the JOHP. Empirical or non-empirical? Richardson and Rothstein's (2008) research study can be classified as empirical. Through a meta-analysis of 36 experimental studies and 2,847 participants, they examined the effective- ness of stress management interventions in occupational settings, employing a quantitative ap- proach to analyze the collected data and derive empirical findings.

3 Article 4: Enhancing Workplace Wellness Efforts to Reduce Obesity: A Qualitative Study of Low-Wage Workers in St Louis, Missouri, 2013–2014 Scholarly or non-scholarly? This article by Strickland et al. (2015) is scholarly because it presents research findings, references relevant literature, follows a structured methodology, and is peer-reviewed. Empirical or non-empirical? The empirical article by Strickland et al. (2015) explores workplace factors affecting obesity and wellness program participation among low-wage workers using interviews and focus groups. The study provides valuable insights into the experiences and perspectives of this population regarding workplace influences on obesity and wellness initiatives. Article 5: Promoting Prevention Through the Affordable Care Act: Workplace Wellness Scholarly or non-scholarly? This article by Anderko et al. (2012) is scholarly due to multiple authors, references to academic sources, systematic literature review, and publication in a peer-reviewed journal. Empirical or non-empirical? This is not an empirical study; it is a literary review that examines how the ACA and the Prevention and Public Health Fund can contribute to improving public health by building “cultures of health” in the United States through workplace wellness initiatives. (Anderko et al. 2012) Article 6: The Risks of Using Workplace Wellness Programs to Foster a Culture of Health Scholarly or non-scholarly? This article is a scholarly publication in a peer-reviewed journal. The author utilizes academic references, conducts a systematic review, and follows a scholarly structure. Empirical or non-empirical? Based on the information in the article, it appears that it is not empirical but rather a scholarly review that discusses existing empirical studies on wellness programs. The author concludes that while some studies show improvements in exercise, smoking behavior etc., major drawbacks are due to limited research. (Madison, K. 2016) Article 7: Managing Employee Stress and Wellness in the New Millennium Scholarly or non-scholarly? This scholarly article by Richardson (2017) reflects on the 2008 meta-analyses, reviewing their findings, exploring new studies, and assessing emerging challenges and opportunities in the field.

4 Empirical or non-empirical? Richardson's (2017) article is not empirical as it does not present original research. Rather, it revisits prior meta-analyses, including Richardson and Rothstein (2008), to emphasize the need for further research on workplace interventions, wellness programs, and emerging issues like technostress and generational changes in work habits. Article 8: How Well Do Workplace Wellness Programs Work? Scholarly or non-scholarly? The article "How Well Do Workplace Wellness Programs Work?" by Appleby, published in NPR Shots is classified as a blog post rather than a scholarly article. Empirical or non-empirical? The blog post discusses a study on workplace wellness programs, noting participants reported healthier behaviors but no significant improvements in health measures, healthcare spending, or job performance. It emphasizes the need for additional research and acknowledges that, although valuable for personal branding and audience engagement, blogs are not empirical articles. Article 9: Workplace Wellness Programs: Right or Wrong? Scholarly or non-scholarly? The Physician Leadership Journal provides professionals with valuable insights and engaging discussions, but the specific article by Bottles (2015) is not considered scholarly. Empirical or non-empirical? This article presents an argument about the popularity of workplace wellness programs, highlighting perceived benefits such as improved employee health, support, and increased productivity. However, it lacks scientific references and relies on opinions of the author rather than empirical studies. Critics emphasize the need for more research to substantiate cost savings. (Bottles 2015) Article 10: Why Your Workplace Wellness Program Isn’t Working Scholarly or non-scholarly? This article by O’Boyle and Harter (2014) lacks scholarly attributes as it lacks references to scientific studies, peer-reviewed research, and rigorous analysis typically found in scholarly articles. Empirical or non-empirical? This article by O’Boyle and Harter (2014) explores workplace wellness programs with reference to Gallup's research, emphasizing employee engagement and holistic well-being.

5 While lacking empirical evidence and scholarly citations, it offers valuable insights. The Gallup Business Journal focuses on providing executives with impactful articles to improve business outcomes using Gallup's expertise.
