Abstract
This thesis is a qualitative investigation into some of the forces which shape managers beliefs about the value of metal health education in some workplaces. A focus on depression constitutes a critical lens for this study. interviews with managers in eight organisations were conducted within the deregulated Information and Computing Technology sector in South Australia. I sought to managers‟ understandings of attitudes towards depression and allied mental health education in their workplaces and to determine what access they believed they had, to information which may assist them.In the analyses presented here, stigma, socio-cognitive workplace and adult learning theories, personal biographies and individual senses of managerial hegemony emerge as some of the influences in a multi-dimensional maelstrom which shaped managers‟ beliefs. - Excerpt from abstract.
