Organizational-level variables that are hypothesized to influence the level of smoking pol icy restrictions and the prevalence of smoking control activities were tested in a sample of 114 worksites that participated in the Working Well Trial, a national trial of worksite health promotion. Predictors related to more restrictive policies included smaller size, larger percentage of white-collar workers, larger number of complaints about environmental tobacco smoke, less complexity, more formalization, and having a CEO who valued health and employees’ well-being. The number of smoking control activities offered in a worksite was predicted by having a larger blue-collar workforce, a higher percentage of female employees, higher levels of workforce stability, and a CEO who valued health and employees’ well-being. Efforts to identify predictors of companies’ adoption and implementation of workplace-based policies and interventions are an important part of tobacco control efforts and will enhance future intervention and research efforts.
