Course Description: A strong relationship exists between employment and men’s mental health. For men who are employed, work itself has far-reaching implications. The purpose of the study is to contribute to theoretical understandings of men’s employment-related mental health experience and raise possibilities for gender-responsive employer supports for their mental health. Results of this study present processes by which theoretical concepts of masculine role norms influence work-related stress and mental health including injunctive norms, which operate through an internal sense of the cultural “should” and “should nots,” descriptive norms, which are communicated through the behaviors that a man sees other men enacting in the immediate environment, and cohesive norms, which exert influence through observations of how men who are leaders, behave.
