Abstract

Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazala su da je stres na radu povezan sa psihičkim zdravljem te da se u podlozi tog odnosa nalazi sindrom sagorijevanja na poslu. Odgojno-obrazovni djelatnici skloni su sagorijevanju na poslu, a u vrijeme pandemije bolesti COVID-19 našli su se u situaciji izvanrednih zahtjeva posla poput održavanja nastave na daljinu. Jedan osobni resurs koji je u ovo krizno vrijeme dobio poseban istraživački interes jest psihološka otpornost koja se definira kao sposobnost oporavka nakon stresnog događaja i koja može ublažiti negativne posljedice stresa. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je ispitati medijacijsku ulogu sindroma sagorijevanja na poslu u povezanosti stresora na radu i psihičkog zdravlja odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika te moderacijski učinak psihološke otpornosti na odnos stresora na radu i sindroma sagorijevanja na poslu. Istraživanje je provedeno putem online upitnika, a u njemu je sudjelovao 361 sudionik (92.8% žena), prosječne dobi 42.27 godina (SD = 9.91) i prosječnog radnog staža 16.37 godina (SD = 10.16). Moderirana medijacijska analiza pokazala je da sagorijevanje na poslu u potpunosti posreduje odnos između stresora na radu i psihičkog zdravlja odgojno-obrazovnih djelatnika. Razina psihološke otpornosti nije značajno moderirala odnos stresora na radu i sagorijevanja na poslu, kao ni pretpostavljeni medijacijski odnos. No, dobiven je značajan izravni efekt psihološke otpornosti na sagorijevanje na poslu.

Abstract (english)

Previous researches have shown that work stress is associated with mental health and that burnout is one of the underlying mechanisms of that relationship. Educational personnel is prone to burnout and during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have faced extraordinary job demands due to online teaching. One personal resource which gained researchers’ special interest during this crisis is psychological resilience which is defined as an ability to bounce back after a stressful event and therefore could buffer negative consequences of stress. The aim of this study was to examine the mediating role of burnout in the relationship between work stressors and the mental health of educational personnel, as well as the potential moderating role of psychological resilience in the relationship between work stressors and burnout. The study was conducted on 361 participants (92.8% women) of an average age of 42.27 years (SD = 9.91) and an average length of service of 16.37 years (SD = 10.16) via an online questionnaire. Moderated mediation analysis showed that burnout fully mediated the relationship between work stressors and the mental health of educational personnel. Also, psychological resilience did not moderate the relationship between work stressors and burnout, nor the presumed mediation model. However, a significant direct effect of psychological resilience on burnout was obtained.
