This is the first scientific research studying the impact of worklife factors on executives’ psychological health by gender. The study has a particular focus on the factors of ‘Community’ and ‘Work-life balance’. Survey data were collected from N=481 senior executives to measure seven worklife factors and psychological health. Standardized regression analysis was performed for each worklife in a regression model predicting psychological health by gender. Results showed significant differences between female and male senior executives in the profiles of seven worklife factors in terms of their relationship with psychological health. ‘Work life balance’ was the strongest predictor of female executives’ psychological health, ‘Values’ for male executives’ psychological health. ‘Community’ showed similar levels of association for both women and men. This research addresses the literature gap of large-scale, quantitative investigations into the psychology of senior executives. The results can be applied as a guide for organizational design, executive training and development programs accounting for differences by gender.

Inside the buildings we spend most of our time, therefore buildings have great impact on many aspects of our life, especially on our health. Winston Churchill once said: "We shape our buildings; thereafter they shape us". When designing, we focus mainly on architecture, economy and ecology, omitting the most impartant purpose of sustainability: health. Even 30% of new or refurbished buildings are considered sick buildings, where diseases like SBS (Sick Building Syndrome) ar Legionnaire's disease can affect users. This might be the consequence of i.a. inadequate HVAC design, microbial contamination, lack of natural light or bad acoustic. And the totality of factors in indoor environments that influence human health, well-being and productivity of people who work in those spaces is called "buildingomics". lt's identification is now the most important part of green building certification systems like LEED or BREEAM. These certification process concentrates more and more on non-technical aspects like productivity, well-being, satisfaction and creating non-stress environment. However fully dedicated to the subject of health is Well Building Standard, which enables the analysis of building's impact on human health.
