WELLBEING AT WORK: A SURVEY ON PERCEPTION OF HEALTH CARE WORKERS

摘要

The paper focuses first on a theoretical background on wellbeing at work, and then on a survey in three Italian hospitals focussing mainly on the determinants of wellbeing at work. The preference is given to the quantitative method, by administering anonymous questionnaires to the almost total number of health care staff working in the wards of the three hospitals. From the survey results the relationship with leader is the organizational factor perceived by healthcare professionals as that most generates a high level of wellbeing. Other factors, perceived by employees as a source of high wellbeing at work, concern "personality traits" and organizational values.
