Aim 3: Factors of being supportive towards investing more in HP in the future
Half of the respondents (50 %) were supportive towards investing more in HP in the future. In Table 3, the results of the univariate logistic regressions with the characteristics of the workshop and the personal factors, can be found.

None of the characteristics of the workshop were related to being supportive towards more HP in the future. All attitude variables were positively related to being supportive. Respondents scoring one point higher on the attitude scale were even 5 times (OR = 5.15) more likely to being supportive to more HP than those scoring one point less. Respondents believing that employees are expecting that the workshop invest in HP, were more likely to be a supporter of more HP in the future. Respondents agreeing that the benefits of HP exceeds the costs, and those who had the belief that HP is an obligation, were more likely to be supportive. Also, the total moral responsibility scale was positively related to being supportive towards more HP.
A multivariate logistic regression was performed with all significant results. As all attitudes and the total scale was significant related to the dependent variable, the total scale was chosen to be included in the analyses (Table 3). Only the attitude-scale stayed significantly related to being supportive towards more HP in the workshop in the future.
