20.500.12556/DKUM-94251 An examination of work conditions and well-being of Slovene train drivers Pregled delovnih pogojev in dobrega počutja slovenskih strojevodij Background and purpose: While the occupation of a train driver can be likened to other transportation professions like truck or bus drivers, it is essential to note that there are distinct hazards exclusive to this role that have a notable impact on the mental and physical well-being of train drivers. The study aims to define personal characteristics, work organisation and work characteristics, professional development and work in general in connection with risk factors among employees who perform the work tasks of train drivers in railway transport. Methodology: The study on train drivers in Slovenia was conducted with 179 participants, representing 13.3% of the total population of train drivers. The sample was predominantly male and varied in age, most hailing from the Podravska region. The OPSA digital tool was used to analyse risk factors and gauge psychosocial stress across 17 areas, using a questionnaire split into two sections. Data was collected through online and physical surveys, with voluntary and anonymous participation. Results: The study found that the personal characteristics of train drivers do not significantly impact their perception of workplace workload. While professional development factors negatively influenced workload perception, the impact was not statistically significant. However, general work characteristics strongly impact how train drivers perceive their workload. These findings suggest that interventions should focus on modifying general work characteristics to improve train drivers’ work conditions. Conclusions: These findings have important implications for the railway industry. They suggest that interventions aimed at improving the work conditions of train drivers should focus on modifying general work characteristics rather than targeting personal characteristics or professional development factors. Future research should explore these relationships and develop strategies to mitigate the identified risk factors. Ozadje in namen: Poklic strojevodje se lahko primerja z drugimi poklici v prevozništvu, kot so vozniki tovornjakov ali avtobusov, vendar je pomembno opozoriti, da obstajajo posebna tveganja, ki so značilna za poklic strojevodje in imajo vpliv na njihovo duševno in fizično dobro počutje. Namen študije je opredeliti osebne značilnosti, organizacijo dela in značilnosti dela, profesionalni razvoj in delo na splošno, v povezavi z dejavniki tveganja med strojevodji. Metodologija: Študija o strojevodjih v Sloveniji je bila izvedena na 179 udeležencih, kar predstavlja 13,3% celotne populacije strojevodij. V vzorcu so bili večinoma moški različnih starosti, večina pa izhaja iz Podravske regije. Za namen raziskave je bil uporabljen OPSA vprašalnik za analizo dejavnikov tveganja in merjenje psihosocialnega stresa na 17 področjih. Podatki so bili zbrani prek spletnega in fizično razdeljenega vprašalnika, udeležba pa je bila prostovoljna in anonimna. Rezultati: S pomočjo raziskave smo ugotovili, da osebne značilnosti strojevodij ne vplivajo bistveno na njihovo zaznavanje obremenitve na delovnem mestu. Medtem ko so dejavniki profesionalnega razvoja pokazali šibek pozitiven vpliv na zaznavanje obremenitve, vpliv ni bil statistično pomemben. Splošne značilnosti imajo močan pozitiven vpliv na to, kako strojevodje zaznavajo svojo obremenitev. Rezultati nakazujejo, da bi morale intervencije osredotočiti na spreminjanje splošnih značilnosti dela za izboljšanje delovnih pogojev strojevodij. Zaključki: Rezultati imajo pomembne izsledke za železniško industrijo. Nakazujejo, da bi morale intervencije, namenjene izboljšanju delovnih pogojev strojevodij, osredotočiti na spreminjanje splošnih značilnosti dela, namesto da bi ciljale na osebne značilnosti ali dejavnike profesionalnega razvoja. Prihodnje raziskave bi morale nadalje raziskovati te odnose in razvijati strategije za zmanjšanje identificiranih dejavnikov tveganja. strojevodje železničarji delovni pogoji železniški promet Slovenija true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-08-11 12:59:36 2025-08-11 12:59:36 2025-08-12 03:14:37 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 str. 72-86 issue 1 Vol. 57 2024 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2024-01-01 656.2-051(497.4) 239678211 10.2478/orga-2024-0005 1318-5454 RAZ_Murko_Danica_2024.pdf RAZ_Murko_Danica_2024.pdf 1 45B1B72C57921E206EB5ADE729C09C24 5079dd1e35b19bd0c6f055fa50dfddf1e23dd337d97013024471e9420f9544dd 4541cf53-76a2-11f0-a31f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195069 https://organizacija.fov.um.si/sl/stevilke/let-57-st-1-2024/ 0 93d52b29-76a2-11f0-a31f-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=195070 Fakulteta za organizacijske vede Organizacija 0 0 0
