: Improving work outcomes for individuals with chronic health conditions may require an organizational context that supports and accommodates workers more readily when intermittent or permanent needs arise. In this study, workers interested in a worksite program to improve coping with chronic health conditions completed a pre-intervention survey related to their health, function, and organizations. Measures of organizational fairness, leeway, control, and sense of community were negatively associated with fatigue and turnover intention, and the effect of leeway on turnover was more pronounced among younger workers. Thus, employer practices that convey messages of inclusion and flexibility to the workforce may sustain employment and reduce fatigue among workers with chronic health conditions.
