Jezik: | Angleški jezik | Opis: | People used to lead simple lives, unlike today, when the pace of life is speeding up almost on a daily basis. Today%s unstoppable pace of life is exerting pressure on our personal and professional lives. This happens because of long schedules, pressures, short deadlines, and poor interpersonal relationships. Throughout the years, demands on employees have increased. They must excel in and cover numerous fields of work. In order to meet the deadlines, employees often take their work home with them and work overtime. Even though they have a number of tasks which they still need to solve, their superiors add new tasks to their workload. Despite being overworked, they are afraid to say no in fear of losing their job. Consequently, they have less and less time for their personal life. The same as at work, they want to excel in all spheres of their personal life, from parenthood and time spent with friends to social networks. The accumulation of distress, pressure, and stressful situations can lead to burnout. Burnout is a disease with long-term negative consequences for the individual and the organisation and it is therefore of key importance to be able to recognise the signs on time and take appropriate action. This paper defines the concept of burnout which the members of the Slovenian Armed Forces are faced with in our jobs. A questionnaire was used to try to show familiarity with the concept of burnout and to study the most frequent indicators of job burnout. The second step was the coping of employees with burnout as well as the causes and consequences leading to job burnout. The filled in questionnaires have allowed us to conclude that members of the Slovenian Armed Forces mainly recognise signs of burnout on time and know how to cope with them. The diploma thesis was prepared with the help of references, online resources, and the questionnaire. Our own experience and findings of the studied material were added. | Ključne besede: | Slowenian army, stress, burnout, symptoms of stress, symptoms of burnout, burnout prevention |
