Sažetak
The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of
the two indices of chronic organizational stress (work conflict
and overload, and role ambiguity), job involvement and the
two indices of organizational commitment (affective-
-normative and instrumental commitment) on professional
burnout and subjective health complaints. Data were
collected from 118 hospital nurses from various hospital
wards in Clinical Hospital Rijeka in a two-wave prospective
study. There were two measurements, the first one taking place four years before the second one. The first
measurement time (Time 1) included measures of
organizational stress, job involvement and organizational
commitment as well as professional burnout and subjective
health complaints, while the second measurement time (Time
2) included only those measures that refer to health
outcomes (professional burnout and subjective health
complaints). The results show that various combinations of
organizational stress, organizational commitment and job
involvement variables predict each of the three indices of
professional burnout and even after controlling for the same
subjective health outcome measured four years before. The
results are interpreted focusing on the potentially protective
role of the variables that significantly predict subjective
health outcomes.
