20.500.12556/DKUM-95951 Understanding the impact of burnout on decision-making styles Razumevanje vpliva poklicne izgorelosti na stile odločanja Background and purpose: This study aimed to fill a gap in the literature by identifying how employee burnout shapes decision-making styles in the post-COVID-19 business environment. The main goal was to examine the impact of three dimensions of burnout—exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy—on four conflict-related decision-making styles: vigilance, buck-passing, procrastination, and hypervigilance. Design/Methodology/Approach: A total of 567 employees from various companies in Croatia participated in the online survey conducted in March 2023. Multiple regression analysis examined the impact of exhaustion, cynicism, and professional efficacy on decision-making styles under conflict. Results: The results of the multiple regression analysis revealed that professional efficacy leads to a vigilant decision-making style, while simultaneously diminishing procrastination, buck-passing, and hypervigilance. Cynicism, in contrast, was a positive predictor of procrastination, buck-passing, and hypervigilant decision-making. Finally, exhaustion was found to have a positive impact on hypervigilance. Conclusion: The study is significant because it contributes to the body of knowledge on the impact of burnout dimensions on professional decision-making styles in organisational settings, and it also offers practical implications of considerable importance. Ozadje in namen: Namen raziskave je bil zapolniti vrzel v literaturi z opredelitvijo, kako izgorelost zaposlenih vpliva na stile odločanja v poslovnem okolju po obdobju COVID-19. Osrednji cilj je bil proučiti vpliv treh dimenzij izgorelosti – izčrpanosti, cinizma in občutka poklicne učinkovitosti – na štiri z odločanjem v konfliktnih situacijah povezane stile: budno odločanje, prelaganje odgovornosti, odlašanje in pretirano budnost. Metodologija: V raziskavi je sodelovalo 567 zaposlenih iz različnih podjetij na Hrvaškem, ki so marca 2023 izpolnili spletni vprašalnik. Vpliv izčrpanosti, cinizma in poklicne učinkovitosti na stile odločanja v konfliktnih situacijah je bil analiziran z multiplo regresijsko analizo. Rezultati: Rezultati multiple regresijske analize so pokazali, da občutek poklicne učinkovitosti spodbuja buden stil odločanja ter hkrati zmanjšuje verjetnost odlašanja, prelaganja odgovornosti in pretirane budnosti. Cinizem se je izkazal kot pozitiven napovednik odlašanja, prelaganja odgovornosti in pretirano budnega odločanja. Izčrpanost pa je imela pozitiven vpliv na pretirano budnost. Sklep: Raziskava je pomembna, ker prispeva k razumevanju vpliva dimenzij izgorelosti na profesionalne stile odločanja v organizacijskem okolju, hkrati pa ponuja tudi praktične implikacije, ki so za podjetja in strokovnjake s področja managementa velikega pomena. employee burnout decision-making style work-related stress Croatian companies post-COVID-19 period izgorelost zaposlenih stili odločanja stres na delovnem mestu hrvaška podjetja obdobje po COVID-19 true true true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Neznano 2025-11-14 08:58:14 2025-11-14 08:58:14 2025-11-15 03:10:18 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 313-326 issue 4 Vol. 58 2025 0000-00-00 NiDoloceno NiDoloceno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-01-01 331.442 256877571 10.2478/orga-2025-0019 1318-5454 https://organizacija.fov.um.si/issues/vol-58-no-4-2025/ 1 ac9443d8-c12f-11f0-8eaa-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200627 RAZ_Cvjetkovic_Matea_2025.pdf RAZ_Cvjetkovic_Matea_2025.pdf 1 A5D62B5A5C5509CD6368E1FA34C9500F 9aaffe83960e9e749aec8d0b7e87577f1a2dfe7dbd30e1590b646f54480161ee 55903a09-c13b-11f0-8eaa-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200641 Fakulteta za organizacijske vede Organizacija 0 0 0
