Sažetak
The influence of psychological factors on the health status and work efficiency was investigated in a sample of 909 forest workers whose typical diseases had been previously defined. Data concerning the motivation for work were taken during obligatory medical tests. Medical variables (health status, diagnoses, number of diagnoses per worker), psychological variables (job satisfaction, wish to change the job), and work-related variables (fulfillment of job norms) were used. Hypotheses of the relationship between the selected pairs od variables were tested by contingency tables. The lifetime trends of each variable were modelled by means of linear functions. The presumed influence was confirmed by the results obtained. Negative motivation appeared to be a very significant factor of the forest workers' health status and their work efficiency.
