Kupid na delu - romantični odnosi na delovnem mestu : romantični odnosi na delovnem mestu

Jenko, Neža (avtor), Babnik, Katarina (mentor)

Romantični odnosi na delovnem mestu so v organizacijskih okoljih pogost in naraščajoč pojav, ki predstavlja odnos med dvema članoma iste organizacije in vključuje vzajemno spolno privlačnost. V slovenskem okolju ni raziskav, ki bi proučevale prisotnost romantičnih odnosov na delovnem mestu, zato je bil namen magistrskega dela raziskati zaznavanje teh odnosov, izkušnje slovenskih zaposlenih s tovrstnimi odnosi, njihov časovni razvoj, vrste odnosov, dejavnike in motive, ki vplivajo na njihov razvoj, in njihove posledice. Pri raziskovanju smo uporabili kombinacijo kvantitativnega (spletna anketa) in kvalitativnega (polstrukturirani intervju) pristopa. Prvi del spletne ankete, ki ga je izpolnilo 334 delovno aktivnih posameznikov, se je nanašal na percepcije, prepričanja in stališča do romantičnih odnosov na delovnem mestu; drugi del ankete, ki ga je izpolnilo 125 posameznikov, pa na neposredne izkušnje s proučevanim konstruktom. Polstrukturirani intervju je bil opravljen z osmimi posamezniki, ki so bili neposredno vpeti v romantični odnos na delovnem mestu. Ugotovitve kažejo na pogosto prisotnost romantičnih odnosov v slovenskih organizacijskih okoljih. Najpogosteje prisotna so dolgoročna razmerja med sodelavci z enakim ali podobnim statusnim položajem v organizaciji, ki poleg omenjenega odnosa niso vpeti še v kateri koli drug intimni odnos zunaj delovnega mesta. Največjo vlogo pri oblikovanju tovrstnih odnosov imajo ljubezenski motivi. Zaznane posledice intimnih odnosov med sodelavci so najpogosteje nične ali majhne, gibljejo pa se od pozitivnih in negativnih do nepomembnih. Čeprav so romantični odnosi na delovnem mestu pogosto prikrivan pojav, jih okolica v splošnem zazna pozitivno. Po nam znanih podatkih gre za eno prvih slovenskih raziskav o prisotnosti romantičnih odnosov na delovnem mestu. Z raziskavo smo želeli zapolniti vrzel v strokovni literaturi in prispevati k temu, da bi jih organizacije in njihovi zaposleni bolje razumeli. Izsledki magistrskega dela predstavljajo izhodišča za nadaljnje proučevanje romantičnih odnosov na delovnem mestu in oblikovanje ustreznih politik v delovnih okoljih.

Izvleček

Workplace romance is a common and growing phenomenon in organizational settings, representing a relationship between two members of the same organization that involves mutual sexual attraction. In Slovenia no research that examines the presence of workplace romance has been done, so the aim of the master's thesis was to investigate the perceptions of workplace romance, the experiences of Slovenian employees with such relationships, their development over time, the types of relationships, the factors and motives influencing their development and their consequences. We used a combination of quantitative (online survey) and qualitative (semi-structured interview) approaches. The first part of the online survey, completed by 334 working individuals, referred to perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes towards workplace romance, while the second part of the survey, completed by 125 individuals, referred to direct experiences with the studied construct. A semi-structured interview was conducted with eight individuals who have been directly involved in workplace romance. The results show that workplace romance is often present in Slovenian organizational environments. The most common are long-term relationships between colleagues of the same or similar status in the organization who are not involved in any other intimate relationship outside the workplace. Love motives play the largest role in shaping these relationships, and the perceived consequences of intimate relationships between colleagues are most often null or small, ranging from positive and negative to insignificant. Although workplace romance is often a disguised phenomenon, it is generally positively perceived by the surroundings. According to the data known to us, this is one of the first Slovenian studies on the topic of workplace romance. With research we aimed to fill a gap in the professional literature and contribute to a better understanding of such romances by everyone, organizations and employees alike. The findings of the master's thesis represent the basis for further study of workplace romance and the formulation of appropriate policies within working environments.
