Goldilocks Work - Key Intervention Evaluation Attributes

Overall we recommend:

• Robust, feasible, objective measures, “sensitive for change” where possible.
• Measures will be aligned to harmonise with other studies where possible.
• Evaluation should be designed in accordance to, and for understanding each step of the mechanistic pathway for the whole program logic.
• Evaluation measures will be aligned to goals.

Effect evaluation will be undertaken and include:

• Physical behaviour measures.
• Physical capacity measures.
• Health-related outcomes.
• Measures of productivity (quantity/quality).
• Measures of cost effectiveness.
• Measures of potential harmful effects.

Process evaluation will be undertaken and include:

1. Intervention context
2. Delivery of intervention
   
   • fidelity, adherence, reach
   • delivered information and knowledge about Goldilocks
3. Changes in worker/manager knowledge and attitudes
   • understanding of the Goldilocks concepts
   • commitment to the intervention
4. Planning of redesign of work
   • ideas for redesign of work
   • evaluation of their feasibility
   • evaluation of their likely impact
   • prioritization of ideas
   • plans for implementation and follow-up of ideas
5. Implementation of planned redesign of work
   • extent of implementation of planned ideas
   • barriers and facilitators of implementation changes to work
   • workplace’s assessment of feasibility for further implementation and sustainability
6. Evaluation if implementation of work redesign lead to planned behaviour change and/or physiological responses
   • extent of achieving behavioural change targets
   • extent of achieving physiological response change targets
