Sažetak

Zahtjevi posla najčešći su izvor profesionalnog stresa koji postaje problemom ako je kroničan. Tada može imati brojne posljedice, a jedna je od takvih sindrom sagorijevanja. To je stanje mentalne i fizičke iscrpljenosti uzrokovano profesionalnim životom koje može utjecati na organizacijske ishode, kvalitetu privatnog života te kvalitetu društva. No sindrom sagorijevanja u penalnim institucijama još je uvijek nedovoljno istražen te su rezultati istraživanja odnosa sa sociodemografskim karakteristikama često oprečni. Cilj je ovog istraživanja utvrđivanje simptoma sindroma sagorijevanja na poslu i ispitivanje
zdravstvenog stanja zaposlenika penalnih institucija u RH s obzirom na njihove sociodemografske karakteristike. Rezultati sugeriraju prosječan stupanj sagorijevanja zaposlenika na primarnim simptomima te iznadprosječan stupanj na sekundarnim. Također, dobivena je pozitivna povezanost sekundarnih simptoma sa spolom i duljinom zaposlenosti kod trenutnog poslodavca. Žene i osobe koje su dulje zaposlene kod trenutnog poslodavca izvještavaju o većim razinama sekundarnih simptoma od
muškaraca i osoba koje su kraće zaposlene kod trenutnog poslodavca. Naposljetku, 25.30% zaposlenika izvještava kako su imali potrebu za traženjem profesionalne pomoći zbog problema vezanih uz posao dok je 17.20% zaposlenika namjeravalo tražiti istu. Rezultati ukazuju na važnost toga da se u budućim istraživanjima sagorijevanja zaposlenika penalnih institucija u RH detaljnije ispituju upravo sekundarni simptomi sagorijevanja.

Abstract

Job demands are the most common source of occupational stress, which becomes a problem if it is chronic. Then it can have numerous consequences, one of which is the burnout syndrome. It is a state of mental and physical exhaustion caused by professional life that can affect organizational outcomes, the quality of private life and the quality of society. However, the burnout syndrome in penal institutions is still insufficiently researched, and the results of research on the relationship with socio-demographic characteristics are often contradictory. The aim of this research is to determine the symptoms of burnout syndrome at work and examine the health status of employees of penal institutions in the Republic of Croatia with regard to their socio-demographic characteristics. The results suggest an average level of employee burnout on primary symptoms and an above-average level on secondary symptoms. Also, a
positive association of secondary symptoms with gender and length of employment with the current employer was obtained. Women and people who have been employed for a longer time by their current employer report higher levels of secondary symptoms than men and people who have been employed by their current employer for a shorter time. Finally, 25.30% of employees report that they had the need to seek professional help due to work-related problems, while 17.20% of employees had the intention of
seeking it. The results indicate the importance of examining the secondary symptoms of burnout in more detail in future research on burnout among employees of penal institutions in the Republic of Croatia.
