20.500.12556/DKUM-97483 Workload, social support and emotional stability aǂ comparative study of Croatian and German employees Delovna obremenitev, socialna podpora in čustvena stabilnost: primerjalna študija hrvaških in nemških delavcev The following article examines the question of whether factors such as workload and social support from colleagues and superiors have a significant positive or negative impact on the emotional well-being of employees. Additionally, it compares the results between Croatia and Germany in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. For this purpose, a sample of 1,800 employees (900 per country) was used for statistical analysis, using data from the European Working Conditions Telephonic Survey. A descriptive analysis and an inferential analysis using the nonparametric Mann-Whitney U test were performed for variables such as work-life balance, high-speed work, work under time pressure, work autonomy, perceived well-being, disruptive emotions, presenteeism, and social support from colleagues and supervisors. The results show that Croatians exhibit a higher level of emotional stability than German employees, as they tend to be happier and in a better mood, have a lower workload, and receive more social support from coworkers and managers. workload social support emotional stability Croatian German delovna obremenitev socialna podpora čustvena stabilnost Hrvaška Nemčija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2026-03-12 14:03:07 2026-03-12 14:03:07 2026-03-13 03:13:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 37-47 no. 4 Vol. 71 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2025-12-22 331.4(430)(497.5) 271463171 10.2478/ngoe-2025-0022 2385-8052 https://journals.um.si/index.php/oe/sl/article/view/5721 Prost dostop 1 d3025edd-1e13-11f1-b92a-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=204459 RAZ_Huth_Andreas_2025.pdf RAZ_Huth_Andreas_2025.pdf 1 F9096BEFF68474C9D8AFDACF7EE85E1A 63549a8bc3b14f7b9d89bcbcfdc7a597d02eb446192c3f6d66512e748b026166 ec5a0884-1e13-11f1-b92a-00155d580e1a https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=204460 Ekonomsko-poslovna fakulteta Naše gospodarstvo Naše gospodarstvo 0 0 0
