Threat and Coping Appraisal for Protection Motivation towards Healthy Business Travelling Behaviours

A psychological paradigm known as protection motivation theory (PMT) explains why people feel compelled to defend themselves against possible dangers. When used in conjunction with healthy business travel practices, PMT can be a powerful tool in motivating people to take the necessary safety measures to protect their health and well-being when they are on business traveling. This paper aims to review the past studies on threat appraisal and coping appraisal which are used mainly in the PMT model. This is crucial before suggesting to business organizations how threat appraisal and coping appraisal could be used as a guideline and motivational tool towards adopting healthy behaviors amongst their talents. The review may also lead to crafting possible interventions in the form of a working model that can be applied for appropriate actions with selected collaborators.
