Vpliv vedenjskih simptomov izgorelosti na delovno zavzetost starejših zaposlenih

The main objective of the paper is to determine the impact of behavioral symptoms of burnout of older employees on their work engagement in large- and medium- sized companies in Slovenia. The research is based on the implementation of a factor analysis by which we wanted to reduce the large number of variables into a smaller number of factors. With those factors, we performed a simple linear regression. Based on the results, we confirmed the hypothesis that behavioral symptoms of burnout of older employees have a statistically significant negative impact on their work engagement. Well-being of employees of varying ages in the workplace is key for long-term effectiveness of companies. From this point of view, companies should apply appropriate measures to reduce burnout as well as to contribute to employees’ well-being and better workplace performance, which is reflected in work engagement of employees.Glavni cilj prispevka je ugotoviti vpliv vedenjskih simptomov izgorelosti starejših zaposlenih na njihovo delovno zavzetost v velikih in srednje velikih podjetjih v Sloveniji. Raziskava temelji na izvedbi faktorske analize, s katero smo želeli zmanjšati veliko število spremenljivk v manjše število faktorjev, s katerimi smo izvedli enostavno linearno regresijo. Na podlagi rezultatov smo potrdili hipotezo, da imajo vedenjski simptomi izgorelosti starejših zaposlenih statistično značilen negativen vpliv na njihovo delovno zavzetost. Dobro počutje starostno raznolikih zaposlenih je ključ do dolgoročne uspešnosti podjetij. S tega vidika morajo podjetja uporabljati ustrezne ukrepe za zmanjšanje izgorelosti in prispevati k dobremu počutju zaposlenih ter k izboljšanju delovnega okolja, kar pa se odraža v delovni zavzetosti zaposlenih
