Sažetak
The aim of the study was to explore the relationship between off-the-job activities and subjective well-being of the healthcare professionals. The sample of 185 healthcare professionals from three medical settings in Croatia were administered a questionnaire which included the measures of worker’s satisfaction with the opportunity to carry out a set of 15 of off-the-job activities, as well as the measures of subjective well-being: life satisfaction, happiness and job satisfaction. Regression analyses were used to examine the effects of satisfaction with the opportunity to carry off-the-job activities on well-being measures. Out of various off-the-job activities, healthcare professionals in our sample were most satisfied with the opportunity to carry out family and household oriented activities (raising children, being with spouse or partner, shopping for household needs) and least satisfied with the opportunity to exercise, take part in organization and keep up with news. The satisfaction with the opportunity to shop for household needs was the only significant predictor of life satisfaction. None of the off-the-job activities predicted the overall happiness, only being younger was associated with higher reported overall happiness. Job satisfaction was predicted by satisfaction with balancing work and family life.
