Abstract
Background and Originality: This paper aims to examine the role of organisational commitment in employee’s health, especially in the context of other work-related psychosocial factors (optimism, empowerment, stressful working conditions, job insecurity, and satisfactory payment). The study statistically examines the conceptual research model, where contrary to many other studies, it does not stop on bivariate correlations, or model with one dependent variable, as found in many other studies, but explore inner correlations among factors, thus provide more detailed insight to the relations among organisational commitment, employee’s health and work-related psychosocial factors. Method: An ISSP survey on a representative sample of citizens in Slovenia, the subsample of 589 workers was statistically analysed, using 1) a bivariate Pearson correlation test; 2) a hierarchical multivariate linear regression to compare two models, where to see the role of organisational commitment, health was predicted by work-related psychosocial factors in a model with and in a model without organisational commitment, and 3) structural equation modelling to understand interrelations amongst analysed concepts.Results: The study provide a model of employee’s health predicted by personal and work-related psychosocial factors. The results shows all analysed factors contribute to health, but not all directly. Health was found to be directly related to stressful working conditions, optimism, and affective organisational commitment. The latter was found to have a cruicial role also in mediating the effects of stressful working conditions, satisfactory payment and optimism on health. With our findings we contribute to the discussion on a constructive and future oriented approach to provide working conditions that would lead to committed and healthier workforce. We suggest that policy makers and human resource managers in organisations create working conditions that are focused on improving health. By doing so, affective organisational commitment should be one of the top priorities. Society: The results have a significant impact on a more detailed review of the factors that contribute to better working conditions for healthier employees. When employees are committed, they not only stay in the organisation, but they are also healthier and consequently perform better, thus benefits could be seen for employers and employees. It is useful for managers to have knowledge of psychological empowerment, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment, as they can utilize these elements to motivate, develop, and manage employees. As working population is the one that represent the main active population in society, it is important to generate working conditions for healthier workforce. Understanding the role of organisational commitment, and other work-related psychosocial factors for health could benefit not only for organisations and employees, but for other society members, that rely on active working population, as well. Limitations / further research: The study was limited by cross-sectional approach and our sample was limited to employees in Slovenia. The study was also limited by the scope of secondary data available; health predictors were selected in accordance with theory and available indicators in the existing survey; limited to main factors: health, organisational commitment and work-related psychosocial factors (optimism, empowerment, stressful working conditions, job insecurity, and satisfactory payment). Future research could focus also on other health related factors (such as genetics, certain lifestyles, the environment, and susceptibility to diseases), include longitudinal approach and compare different geographical contexts.

Title:Mediatorska vloga čustvene organizacijske pripadnosti za zdravje zaposlenih
Abstract:
Ozadje in izvirnost: Namen tega prispevka je preučiti vlogo organizacijske pripadnosti pri zdravju zaposlenih, zlasti v kontekstu drugih psihosocialnih dejavnikov povezanih z delom (optimizem, opolnomočenje, stresni delovni pogoji, negotovost zaposlitve in zadovoljivo plačilo). Študija statistično preučuje konceptualni raziskovalni model, kjer se v nasprotju s številnimi drugimi študijami ne ustavi na bivariatnih korelacijah ali modelu z eno odvisno spremenljivko, temveč proučuje medsebojne korelacije med dejavniki in tako zagotavlja podrobnejši vpogled. na razmerja med organizacijsko pripadnostjo, zdravjem zaposlenih in z delom povezanimi psihosocialnimi dejavniki. Metoda: Anketa ISSP na reprezentativnem vzorcu prebivalcev v Sloveniji, podvzorec 589 delavcev je bil statistično analiziran z 1) bivariatnim Pearsonovim korelacijskim testom; 2) hierarhično multivariatno linearno regresijo za primerjavo dveh modelov, v katerih je bilo zdravje napovedovano s psihosocialnimi dejavniki, in pri tem v enem modelu modelu z in v drugem modelu brez organizacijske pripadnosti, in 3) strukturnim modeliranjem, ki omogoča razumevanje medsebojnih odnosov med vsemi analiziranimi koncepti. Rezultati: Študija prikaže model zdravja zaposlenega, ki ga napovedujejo osebni in z delom povezani psihosocialni dejavniki. Rezultati kažejo, da vsi analizirani dejavniki prispevajo k zdravju, vendar ne vsi neposredno. Ugotavljamo, da je zdravje neposredno povezano s stresnimi delovnimi pogoji, optimizmom in čustveno organizacijsko pripadnostjo. Za slednjo ugotavljamo, da ima ključno vlogo tudi pri mediiranju učinkov stresnih delovnih razmer, zadovoljivega plačila in optimizma na zdravje. Z našimi ugotovitvami prispevamo k razpravi o konstruktivnem in v prihodnost usmerjenem pristopu k zagotavljanju delovnih pogojev, ki bi vodili do pripadne in bolj zdrave delovne sile. Predlagamo, da snovalci politik in kadrovski menedžerji v organizacijah ustvarijo delovne pogoje, ki so osredotočeni na izboljšanje zdravja. Pri tem bi morala biti čustvena organizacijska pripadnost ena glavnih prednostnih nalog. Družba: Rezultati pomembno vplivajo na podrobnejši pregled dejavnikov, ki prispevajo k boljšim delovnim pogojem za bolj zdrave zaposlene. Ko so zaposleni pripadni, ne le ostanejo v organizaciji, ampak so tudi bolj zdravi in posledično bolje delajo, kar prinaša vidne koristi tako za delodajalce kot za zaposlene. Za vodje je koristno, da imajo znanje o psihološkem opolnomočenju, zadovoljstvu pri delu in organizacijski pripadnosti, kar lahko uporabijo za učinkovitejše motiviranje, razvoj in vodenje zaposlenih. Ker je delovno aktivno prebivalstvo tisto, na kateri slonijo vsi ostali v družbi, je pomembno ustvariti delovne pogoje, ki omogočajo boljše zdravje zaposlenih. Razumevanje vloge organizacijske pripadnosti in drugih z delom povezanih psihosocialnih dejavnikov za zdravje bi tako lahko koristilo ne le organizacijam in zaposlenim, ampak posredno tudi drugim članom družbe, ki se zanašajo na aktivno delovno populacijo. Omejitve / nadaljnje raziskave: Študija je bila presečna, vzorec je bil omejen na zaposlene v Sloveniji. Naša študija je bila omejena z obsegom razpoložljivih sekundarnih podatkov; napovedovalci zdravja so bili izbrani v skladu s teorijo in razpoložljivimi indikatorji v obstoječi raziskavi; omejeni na glavne dejavnike: zdravje, organizacijsko pripadnost in psihosocialne dejavnike, povezane z delom (optimizem, opolnomočenje, stresni delovni pogoji, negotovost zaposlitve in zadovoljivo plačilo). Prihodnje raziskave bi se lahko osredotočile tudi na druge dejavnike, povezane z zdravjem (kot so genetika, določen življenjski slog, okolje in dovzetnost za bolezni), vključile longitudinalni pristop in primerjale različne geografske kontekste.
