A Study on the Effects of Self-Assessment Health on Work-Family Conflict, Work Involvement, and Organizational Burnout

Öz

This study examines the relationships between work-family conflict, work engagement, organizational burnout, and self-rated health of healthcare professionals during crisis/pandemic periods. The study emphasizes that work-family conflict experienced by healthcare professionals during crisis/pandemic periods does not only have a direct effect on self-rated health, but also creates indirect effects through work engagement and organizational burnout. The study shows that although work-family conflict does not have a significant effect directly on self-rated health, this conflict creates significant effects through work engagement and organizational burnout. Work engagement and organizational burnout create a chain mediation effect in the relationship between work-family conflict and self-rated health. This shows how employees' work engagement and burnout levels shape the effects of work-family conflict on health. Another issue emphasized is the need to develop supportive policies that focus not only on work-related but also family-related factors during unforeseen crisis periods. The study highlights the need to consider strategies to protect the well-being of healthcare professionals within a broader framework and the importance of taking measures at both individual and organizational levels.

Öz-Değerlendirmeli Sağlık, İş-Aile Çatışması, İşe Katılım ve Örgütsel Tükenmişlik Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Öz

Bu çalışma, kriz/pandemi dönemlerinde sağlık çalışanlarının iş-aile çatışması, işe katılım, örgütsel tükenmişlik ve öz değerlendirmeli sağlık arasındaki ilişkileri incelemektedir. Çalışmada, kriz/pandemi dönemlerinde sağlık çalışanlarının yaşadığı iş-aile çatışmasının, sadece öz değerlendirmeli sağlık üzerinde doğrudan bir etkisi olmadığını, ancak işe katılım ve örgütsel tükenmişlik üzerinden dolaylı etkiler yarattığı vurgulanmaktadır. Araştırma ile iş-aile çatışmasının doğrudan öz değerlendirmeli sağlık üzerinde anlamlı bir etkisi olmamakla birlikte, bu çatışmanın işe katılım ve örgütsel tükenmişlik aracılığıyla önemli etkiler yarattığı görülmektedir. İşe katılım ve örgütsel tükenmişlik, iş-aile çatışması ile öz değerlendirmeli sağlık arasındaki ilişkide bir zincir aracılık etkisi oluşturmaktadır. Bu da, çalışanların işe katılımının ve tükenmişlik düzeylerinin, iş-aile çatışmasının sağlık üzerindeki etkilerini nasıl şekillendirdiğini göstermektedir. Öngörülmeyen kriz dönemlerinde, sadece işle ilgili değil, aynı zamanda aileyle ilgili faktörlere de odaklanan destekleyici politikalar geliştirilmesi gerektiği üzerinde durulan bir diğer husustur. Çalışma, sağlık çalışanlarının refahını korumaya yönelik stratejilerin daha geniş bir çerçevede ele alınması gerektiğini ve hem bireysel hem de örgütsel düzeyde önlemler alınmasının önemini gözler önüne sermektedir.
