- Organisational interventions are recommended to address the root causes of ill-health in organisations. Yet, the evidence for their effectiveness is inconclusive, likely because such interventions are complex, and their effectiveness depends on how and in which contexts the interventions are implemented. This makes organisational interventions challenging to evaluate. While multiple factors affecting implementation and intervention outcomes have been uncovered, it remains unclear which of them are necessary and which are sufficient to produce desired outcomes. To move forward, we argue that the field would benefit from using a theory of causation that better reflects that factors can combine in various ways, that there may be multiple paths to the same outcome, and that a factor can be necessary for bringing about an outcome and thus always leads to it, or sufficient, implying that multiple factors can independently lead to the same outcome. We believe that the use of evaluation designs that align with this type of causation, such as the configurational comparative methods in general and coincidence analysis in particular, will be a significant turning point for the field. The proposed paradigm will improve the precision of current frameworks and models for the evaluation and implementation of organisational interventions.

- PurposeEvaluations of organizational-level interventions to prevent work-related illness have identified enabling factors, but knowledge of necessary and sufficient conditions for intervention success is needed. The aim was to identify difference-making factors that distinguish intervention groups with and without a positive intervention effect on sickness absence.MethodsAn organizational-level intervention designed to decrease sickness absence by providing support from process facilitators was implemented at eight healthcare workplaces in Sweden between 2017 and 2018. We applied coincidence analysis (CNA) to analyze 34 factors and determine which factors were necessary and sufficient for a successful implementation of tailored interventional measures on an organizational level (dichotomous) and reduced sickness absence (trichotomous).ResultsTwo factors perfectly explained both the presence and absence of a successful implementation: "a high sense of urgency" and "good anchoring and participation from the strategic management". The presence of either of these factors alone was sufficient for successful implementation, whereas the joint absence of both conditions was necessary and sufficient for the absence of successful implementation and an intervention effect. In addition, high employee participation was both necessary and sufficient for a high intervention effect. For organizations without high employee participation, successful implementation led to a medium-effect size.ConclusionsThis study identified participation as a difference-maker in the implementation process. Participation from different stakeholders turned out to be important in different phases. When implementing organizational-level interventions, high participation from both strategic management and employees appears to be crucial in terms of the intervention's effect on sickness absence.
