Sažetak
Pandemija COVID-19 promijenila je radna okruženja diljem svijeta i značajno utjecala na radnike. Zbog niza ograničenja koji su uvele državne vlasti i ekonomskih problema uzrokovanih pandemijom, populacija radnika preko noći se raspodijelila u „radnike od kuće“, „ključne” radnike i one koji su privremeno ili trajno otpušteni te ostvaruju pravo na novčanu naknadu za vrijeme nezaposlenosti uzrokovane pandemijom. Osnovni cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi čimbenike koji utječu na prilagodbu „ključnih“ radnika, to jest onih koji ne mogu raditi od kuće, za vrijeme pandemije COVID-19 u Hrvatskoj. Istraživanje je provedeno na 583 osobe starije od 18 godina koje rade barem 20 sati tjedno na svome radnom mjestu. Pokazano je da osobine ličnosti, kao i neke demografske varijable, značajno doprinose objašnjenju subjektivne dobrobiti i zadovoljstva poslom „ključnih“ radnika. Kao najvažniji čimbenik za predikciju pokazao se neuroticizam, pri čemu oni s višim neuroticizmom pokazuju nižu subjektivnu dobrobit i niže zadovoljstvo poslom od onih s nižim neuroticizmom. Subjektivna dobrobit također je značajno povezana s percipiranom kvalitetom zdravlja i sna, kao i s tim smatraju li radnici da se na njihovu radnome mjestu poštuju propisane preventivne mjere te jesu li bili u kontaktu sa zaraženima.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the work environment around the world and had a significant impact on workers. Due to numerous restrictions determined by the state and the economic crisis caused by the pandemic, the population of employees were overnight turned into “work from home” employees, “essential” workers and furloughed or laid-off employees seeking the nation-specific equivalent of unemployment benefits. The main objective of this study was to determine the factor influencing the adjustment of “essential” workers (those who cannot work from home) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Croatia. The research was conducted on 583 people over the age of 18, who work at least 20 hours a week at their workspace. It has been shown that personality traits, as well as some demographic variables, significantly contribute to the well-being of “essential” workers and their job satisfaction. Neuroticism proved to be the most important factor for prediction, where those with higher neuroticism showed lower subjective well-being and lower job satisfaction. Perceived quality of health and sleep also significantly affects well-being, as well as whether workers believe that the prescribed preventive measures have been complied with at their workplace and whether they have been in contact with the infected.
