In my master's thesis, I focused on the impact of psychosocial risks on the shortage of staff at the Social Work Centre Ljubljana. In the theoretical part, I presented the basic guidelines for preventing psychosocial risks, eliminating the consequences of psychosocial risks, and the role of social work in preventing and eliminating the consequences of psychosocial risks. The aim of the research was to investigate the impact of psychosocial risk factors on the shortage of staff at the Social Work Centre Ljubljana and to determine how these factors affect the motivation, well-being, and long-term retention of employees. In the empirical part, I conducted a quantitative, empirical, and descriptive study in which 34 professional workers at the Social Work Centre Ljubljana participated. The hypotheses referred to the most frequently perceived psychosocial risks and their impact on the quality of work and well-being of employees. They also referred to the connection between psychosocial risks and shortage of staff, the role of social work in preventing psychosocial risks, and the impact of psychosocial risks on the work and private lives of employees. The research showed that staff shortages greatly increase the psychosocial risks of employees, which negatively affects their motivation, well-being, and long-term retention in the organization.
