    Abstract:
    In the ongoing sociopolitical discussion of health promotion there is a shift from curative concepts to preventive concepts. In the context of the comprehensive and positive orientation to psychosocial health demanded by the World Health Organization the question of resources for the maintenance and promotion of health is gaining significance. In addition, issues pertaining to pathogenesis are making way for issues pertaining to salutogenesis: What personal (individual), social and organizational resources to enhance health and to cope with stress are available to individuals in demanding and stressful situations? Cognitive-emotional and instrumental coping patterns, greater control over one's work (decision latitude), and social support in the work and life domains are resources whose interactive effects call for further research. Precise answers to this question are of practical significance because they affect decisions about steps to be taken to promote intra- and extra-organizational health as well as job and organizational design approaches to maintain health.
