Abstract

Konflikt privatnog i poslovnog života zaposlenika javlja se kada zahtjevi iz radne uloge i svih ostalih uloga u privatnom životu međusobno interferiraju (Michel i sur., 2011). Ovaj konflikt je povezan s brojnim negativnim ishodima, poput nezadovoljstva poslom i životom (Siegel i sur., 2005), stoga se sve više ispituje, kako bi se osmislile intervencije za njegovo smanjenje. Cilj istraživanja bio je ispitati doprinose li radne i osobne karakteristike zaposlenica objašnjenju konflikta posla i privatnog života te doprinosi li psihološka klima objašnjenju tog konflikta i povrh tih karakteristika. Provedeno je korelacijsko istraživanje na 566 zaposlenih žena u Hrvatskoj, koje se na trenutnom radnom mjestu nalaze minimalno posljednjih 6 mjeseci, a pripadaju jednoj od 3 skupine: žive same, s partnerom ili s partnerom i barem jednim djetetom. Podaci su prikupljeni on line metodom. Ispitan je konflikt posla i privatnog života, psihološka klima te radne i osobne karakteristike zaposlenica. Rezultati pokazuju da veći broj radnih sati, manji broj dostupnih fleksibilnih oblika rada, zaposlenost u privatnom sektoru te niže procijenjeni socioekonomski status predviđaju češće doživljavanje konflikta. Također, dobiveno je da psihološka klima doprinosi objašnjenju konflikta posla i privatnog života i povrh ostalih mjerenih varijabli, pri čemu vrijedi sljedeće: što sudionice daju više procjene na mjeri psihološke klime, to konflikt procjenjuju rjeđim. Ovakvi rezultati upućuju na važnost razmatranja organizacijskih intervencija koje su usmjerene na psihološku klimu zaposlenica, kako bi se smanjio konflikt privatnog i poslovnog života, pored već postojećih formalnih intervencija.

Abstract (english)

Work – life conflict occurs when demands from a work role and demands from all domains of private life interfere (Michel et al., 2011). This conflict is related with numerous negative outcomes such as job and life dissatisfaction (Siegel et al., 2005), hence it has been increasingly studied in order to find new ways of its reduction. The goal of this study was to investigate whether work and personal characteristics predict work-life conflict and whether psychological climate predicts this conflict over these characteristics. A correlational study was conducted on a sample of 566 employed women in Croatia, who have been working at their current position for at least the last 6 months and are part of one of the following groups: women who live alone, those who live with a partner or those who live with a partner and at least one child. Data on work – life conflict, psychological climate, work characteristics and personal characteristics of employees were collected online. It was found that longer working hours, less available flexible working arrangements, working in private sector and lower subjective estimates of socioeconomic status predict experiencing of conflict more often. It was also found that psychological climate explains work – life conflict additionally to other measured variables and that participants who rated their psychological climate as better, have lower conflict. Results indicate the importance of considering organizational interventions that are focused on psychological climate of employees, along with the already existing formal interventions.
