ANALYSIS OF STRESS AMONG EMPLOYEES, UNION MEMBERS SKEI

Stres je v današnjem času naš vsakdanji spremljevalec. Moderen življenjski slog od nas zahteva, da živimo hitro, da smo dobri in uspešni prav na vseh življenjskih področjih. Zaradi hitrega tempa življenja in drugih dejavnikov smo nenehno izpostavljeni stresu, ki pa je lahko pozitiven ali negativen. Če te hitre spremembe doživljamo kot pozitivne ter nam predstavljajo izziv, se soočamo s pozitivnim stresom, ki je koristen. Nekoristen oziroma nevaren je stres takrat, kadar imamo občutek, da so zahteve okolja večje od naših zmožnosti. Dejavnikom stresa, tako imenovanim stresorjem, smo torej izpostavljeni povsod, tako doma kot na delovnem mestu, na poti itd. Ene izmed vedno večjih dejavnikov stresa postajajo organizacije, saj se zaradi modernizacije, torej novih tehnologij, procesa dela in drugih sprememb delo venomer spreminja, kar postaja za zaposlene vedno bolj stresno. Zaposleni morajo zaradi sprememb opravljati različne naloge, obvladovati zahtevnejše novejše programe ali stroje, delovati v različnih vlogah, se prilagajati delovnemu času ipd. ali pa celo organizacijo zapustiti. Prav zaradi teh sprememb, ki zahtevajo nenehne in hitre spremembe znotraj organizacij, so organizacije postale ene izmed večjih povzročiteljev stresa. Med drugim je za zaposlene stresno tudi usklajevanje dela z domom in družino. Zaradi zgoraj navedenega je stres postal eden izmed resnejših bolezni današnjega časa, ki lahko zelo negativno vpliva na posameznika in posledično tudi na organizacijo. Posledice stresa, ki se pojavijo pri posamezniku, so lahko fizične, čustvene in vedenjske. Vse tri navedene oblike posledic vplivajo na delo posameznika v organizaciji in posledično na rezultate organizacije, ki se lahko občutno poslabšajo. Vse posledice stresa, ki negativno vplivajo na rezultate organizacije, niso vidne, zato je pomembno, da stres preprečujemo oziroma premagujemo, še preden se pojavi in povzroči škodo. Cilj magistrske naloge je preučiti stres pri zaposlenih, članih sindikata SKEI. Raziskali bomo pojav stresa glede na velikost organizacije ter glede na spol. Skozi raziskavo bomo med drugim spoznali tudi najpogostejše dejavnike in posledice stresa pri zaposlenih, članih sindikata SKEI.Stress is today our daily companion.
