Efforts to implement workplace ergonomic programs aimed at reducing the burden of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSD) have to address multiple physical and psychosocial aspects of work environments yet often contextual factors limit their success. We describe the processes involved in an ergonomic program to reduce neck and upper limb WMSDs at a large Canadian newspaper. Using qualitative data collection and analysis methods, we illustrate the impact of key contextual characteristics of: (1) the program (management commitment, union involvement, experience and skill of program leaders, and researcher involvement); (2) the organization (drive for productivity, management control, organizational culture); and (3) the broader social context (economic climate, nature of newspaper work, technology and nature of WMSD).

Objective: To explore a model of social capital, specifically the association between socially oriented norms and behaviours and the effect that these factors have on the gradient between income and self-rated health across three different welfare states.
Method: We used data from the 1995-97 World Values Survey, a cross-sectional study conducted in a variety of countries including Australia, United States, Sweden and Norway (n = 5,096).
Results: We found variation in the level of social capital measures across the three different welfare states.
