Abstract

Uslijed svakodnevnih promjena u poslovnom svijetu te potrebe za brzim i ispravnim prilagođavanjem zaposlenika zahtjevima radne okoline pokazalo se bitnim detektirati radne uvjete i atmosferu koja pridonosi pojavi psihološke sigurnosti te definirati njene posljedice. Cilj je ovog istraživanja bio ispitati prediktore psihološke sigurnosti te njene posljedice, odnosno ispitati ulogu roda nadređenog, roda podređenog, sektora, veličine organizacije te transformacijskog vodstva u predviđanju psihološke sigurnosti te njenu povezanost s radnom angažiranošću i namjerom za napuštanjem organizacije. Istraživanje je provedeno na 547 zaposlenih koji su trebali dati svoje procjene na nizu upitničkih mjera. Uz iznimku transformacijskog vodstva koje je bilo značajno pozitivno povezano s kriterijem, nijedan preostali prediktor nije bio statistički značajno povezan sa psihološkom sigurnošću. Nadalje, psihološka sigurnost pokazala je značajnu pozitivnu vezu s radnom angažiranošću te značajnu negativnu vezu s namjernom napuštanja organizacije. Psihološka se sigurnost pokazala značajnim prediktorom navedenih kriterija, i pri kontroli roda nadređenih i podređenih, sektora (vlasništva) i veličine organizacije. Dobivene rezultate komentiramo u kontekstu prijašnjih istraživanja, definiramo praktične implikacije i ograničenja istraživanja te navodimo prijedloge za buduća istraživanja.

Abstract (english)

Due to the daily changes in the business world and the need for quick and correct adaptation of employees to the requirements of the work environment, it is essential to detect the working conditions and atmosphere that contribute to the phenomenon of psychological safety and to define its consequences. The aim of this research was to examine the predictors of psychological safety and its consequences, meaning to examine the role of supervisor's gender, subordinate's gender, sector, organization size and transformational leadership in predicting psychological safety and its connection with work engagement and turnover intention. The research was conducted on 547 employees who had to give their assessments on a series of questionnaire measures. With the exception of transformational leadership, which was significantly positively correlated to the criterion, none of the remaining predictors was statistically significantly correlated to psychological safety. Also, psychological safety showed a significant positive relationship with work engagement and a significant negative relationship with turnover intention. Psychological safety proved to be a significant predictor of the mentioned criteria, while controlling for supervisor's and subordinate's gender, sector (ownership) and organizational size. We comment on the obtained results in the context of previous research, define practical implications and limitations of the research and list suggestions for future research.
