Abstract

U ovom diplomskom radu istražuju se aktivnosti „treće smjene“, dodatan rad koji žene obavljaju izvan svojih formalnih zaposlenja i kućanskih obaveza te njegova povezanost sa konceptom subjektivne dobrobiti, društvenim standardima ljepote te vremenom koje žene provode kako bi postigle određen izgled. Spomenuti rad obuhvaća emocionalni, psihološki i fizički napor koji žene obavljaju kako bi se prilagodile društvenim očekivanjima i standardima, uključujući brigu o vlastitom izgledu. Istraživanje je provedeno 2024. godine na uzorku od deset zaposlenih žena. Podaci su prikupljeni kvalitativnom metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua te su kasnije tematski analizirani i kodirani. Dobiveni rezultati pokazuju kako žene pristupaju organizaciji vremena s naglaskom na balansiranje između profesionalnih obaveza i osobnog života. U kontekstu subjektivne dobrobiti, žene su svjesne važnosti brige o sebi i pronalaženja vremena za osobne potrebe, poput šminkanja, vježbanja ili jednostavnog opuštanja. Istraživanje naglašava kako je za većinu žena kvaliteta života povezana s osjećajem kontrole nad svojim vremenom i mogućnošću da se posvete aktivnostima koje im donose osobno zadovoljstvo. Iako se suočavaju s brojnim izazovima u balansiranju različitih uloga, uspijevaju pronaći načine za očuvanje svoje subjektivne dobrobiti i održavanje kvalitetnog života.

Abstract (english)

This thesis explores the activities of the "third shift", an additional work that women undertake outside their formal employment and household duties, and its connection to the concept of subjective well-being, societal beauty standards, and the time women invest to achieve a certain appearance. This work encompasses the emotional, psychological, and physical efforts women make to conform to societal expectations and standards, including the care of their own appearance. The research was conducted in 2024 on a sample of ten employed women. Data were collected using a qualitative method through semi-structured interviews and later thematically analyzed and coded. The results indicate how women approach time management with an emphasis on balancing professional responsibilities and personal life. In the context of subjective well-being, women are aware of the importance of self-care and finding time for personal needs, such as makeup, exercise, or simple relaxation. The research highlights that, for most women, quality of life is linked to a sense of control over their time and the ability to engage in activities that bring them personal satisfaction. Despite facing numerous challenges in balancing different roles, they find ways to maintain their subjective well-being and preserve a good quality of life.
