High-level willingness to participate in WHPPs (Workplace Health Promotion Programs) can not only benefit employers and employees, but also can produce many positive social effects. In order to expand the existing body of research, the effects of subject cognition, interpersonal trust, political trust, and occupational safety and health concerns were explored. We surveyed 680 Chinese migrant workers who were in charge of participation decisions in their households (2,500 residents involved) from the three typical provinces. The association of social-economic determinants with the willingness to participate and the participating behavior was studied by logistic regression analysis. We find that almost all of workers show relatively high levels of willingness to participate, while nearly seventy percent of the migrant workers had not engaged in actual participation behavior. Regression analyses revealed that subject cognition, interpersonal trust, political trust, and concern for occupational safety and health were factors significantly influencing participating subjects' willingness to engage in WHPPs. Furthermore, mediation analyses demonstrated that the influence of subject cognition was partially mediated by political trust. The influence of subject cognition was partially mediated by political trust. We discuss why political trust may impact the influence of subject cognition on the willingness to participate. Our results provided important insights for both academic and practical application.

Public welfare in China is less universal, comprehensive, and generous when compared with other welfare regimes, especially for individuals with occupational disease. The assistance satisfaction of Chinese pneumoconiosis patients, a typical group of long-term social assistance recipients, has been linked to diminished health and psychological well-being. Self-acceptance is theorized to promote well-being, which may buffer the negative consequences of negative emotion on assistance satisfaction. This research was conducted based on the survey data of 1,345 patients in typical mining areas of China. In addition to single-factor analysis of variance, descriptive analysis, and correlation analysis, a cluster analysis was performed to explore the profiles of participants' ratings of assistance satisfaction with five governing subjects: government, employing unit, medical institution, welfare organization, and laborer themselves. The results were as follows: (1) Social assistance satisfaction perceived by Chinese long-term social assistance recipients was at an average level, wherein self-assistance satisfaction perception was the lowest among five dimensions. (2) The overall perception of assistance satisfaction of Chinese long-term social assistance recipients was significantly correlated with educational background and household monthly income; specifically, the participants with higher levels of education and lower levels of income were more likely to have higher assistance satisfaction perception. (3) Cross analysis showed that participants with higher assistance satisfaction were mainly from the low-high group, having a lower level of negative affect, and higher level of self-acceptance. (4) The average negative affect level was above the scale midpoint (3.65) and negatively associated with each of the assistance satisfaction ratings. (5) The analysis yielded three distinct profiles—medium (19.26%), high (40%), and low (40.74%)—according to their degree of assistance satisfaction. Relative to the other profiles, ...
