This study examines potential relationship between Polish respondents’ well-being and innovativeness. Well-being is considered as reported level of stress, burnout and work engagement. Indicators of innovativeness were calculated for each region of Poland. Differences and similarities in innovativeness and well-being between regions, countries and nations, are discussed theoretically and with the help of the questionnaire studies conducted in Malopolska region. The instruments used were: Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey / MBI-GS, for measuring burnout (N = 557), and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale / UWES, for measuring work engagement (N = 474). In addition, the most innovative firms of Malopolska region were interviewed with respect to perceived work stress and burnout. It can be concluded that the low level of innovativeness of Polish economy may also be related to the poor level of well-being reported by Polish respondents.
The aim of the current study was to investigate which of the examined work-related factors was regarded as the most demanded and stimulating in nurses’ job, and which of the age--related factors were the predictors of the three burnout dimensions: emotional exhaustion (EE), depersonalization (DP), and reduced personal accomplishment (rPA). This study was structured as a cross-sectional project, and the data were gathered using ananonymous questionnaires in 4 hospitals in Poland. The sample consisted of 237 nurses. According to the nurses studied, the most strained factors in their job were low salaries and current bad situation of the Polish health service, and the most stimulating– working in the pleasant atmosphere and patients’ satisfaction. The highest score of emotional exhaustion and reduced personal accomplishment were characteristic of nurses above 40 years of age. Burnout syndrome was predicted by socio-organization environment requirements (EE, DP), sensory and mental task requirements (EE), organizational conditions (EE, rPA), job control (DP), social/communication condition (DP, rPA), and age (EE).
