Subjective well-being of the elderly in selected researchSelected results of the research on different aspects of old age conducted in the paradigm of well--being are discussed in the paper. The research is done in psychological, social and biological trend. Clear differentiation of the aspects of old age is not easy, but, actually, it is not necessary, either, as health is nowadays treated in terms of holistic categories. In this paper, the Mac Arthur’s model of “good ageing”, which takes into account the levels of functioning in biomedical, physiologic, psychological and social terms, is used in this paper as an example of multi-dimensional and interactive attitude. The aim of this paper is to bring to attention the problems of old people.

The objective of our study was to examine whether work-family conflicts and type A behaviour pattern mediate in the dependence between job stressors, job burnout, and work engagement. According to the job demands, we assumed that job stressors would influence job burnout and involvement by means of the variable of work-family conflict. Whereas type A behaviour pattern would moderate the effect of job stressors upon job burnout and work engagement. The examined group comprised medical staff (N = 282). The research results support the hypothesis to a large extent. The results confirm significantly the assumptions of the job demands – resources model, and they suggest developing the model.

Background The objective of this study was to test the psychometric properties of the Polish version of the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). Material and Methods The study was conducted on 3 independent samples of 1582, 581 and 40 individuals employed as manual workers, social service and white collar workers. To test the IWPQ structure an exploratory factor analysis was conducted. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis and invariance test were carried out among subgroups. The reliability was assessed by means of Cronbach’s α coefficient (internal consistent) and test–retest (stability over time) method, with a 4-week follow-up. The construct validity of the IWPQ was tested by means of correlation analysis, using work engagement, positive and negative affect at work, and job burnout as the criterion variables. Results The Polish version of the IWPQ displays very good internal consistency, theoretical validity, and test–retest stability. The results of the factor analysis confirmed a 3-factor structure of the questionnaire. Construct invariance across subgroups was confirmed. Task performance was negatively correlated with negative affect at work, job burnout and positively correlated with work engagement and positive affect at work. Contextual performance was negatively related with counterproductive work behaviors, negative affect at work and positively related with work engagement. Conclusions The Polish version of the IWPQ – like the original scale – consists of 18 items and has 3 subscales. Despite certain limitations the Polish version of the IWPQ shows good psychometric properties and it can be used to measure individual work performance in Polish conditions.

Wstęp Celem badań była adaptacja polskiej wersji Kwestionariusza indywidualnej wydajności w pracy (Individual Work Performance Questionnaire – IWPQ). Materiał i metody Badania przeprowadzono na 3 niezależnych próbach pracowników zatrudnionych w 3 różnych sektorach: N1 (N = 1582), N2 (N = 581) i N3 (N = 40). Strukturę narzędzia badano za pomocą eksploracyjnej i konfirmacyjnej analizy czynnikowej. Przeprowadzono analizę równoważności konstruktu w podgrupach. Rzetelność określono przy użyciu miary α Cronbacha i metodą test–retest. Trafność teoretyczną oszacowano za pomocą zmiennych kryterialnych: zaangażowania w pracę, afektu pozytywnego i negatywnego w pracy oraz wypalenia zawodowego. Wyniki Za pomocą eksploracyjnej analizy czynnikowej wykryto 3 czynniki. Podskale wykazały wysoką spójność wewnętrzną. Wyniki konfirmacyjnej analizy czynnikowej potwierdziły adekwatne dopasowanie modelu 3-czynnikowego do danych. Równoważność konstruktu między grupami została potwierdzona. Wydajność zadaniowa ujemnie łączyła się z negatywnym afektem w pracy i wypaleniem zawodowym a dodatnio – z zaangażowaniem w pracę i afektem pozytywnym w pracy. Wydajność kontekstowa istotnie ujemnie łączyła się z zachowaniami kontrproduktywnymi i negatywnym afektem w pracy, a dodatnio – z zaangażowaniem w pracę. Stabilność czasowa pomiaru była wysoka dla wszystkich 3 podskal. Wnioski Biorąc pod uwagę ograniczenia badania, polska wersja IWPQ jest trafnym i rzetelnym narzędziem do zastosowań naukowych i praktycznych. Jest też pierwszym w polskich warunkach kompleksowym kwestionariuszem do pomiaru indywidualnej wydajności w pracy.

BackgroundThe aim of this study was to describe, explain, and compare the correlations between workload, job satisfaction, and occupational stress levels in Polish midwives working before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.Material and MethodsThis study was cross-lagged in nature and conducted in 2 phases at public health facilities. The first phase took place between March and August 2018 before the current pandemic, and the second in February 2021. In total, 133 midwives working before the COVID-19 pandemic and 92 midwives working during the pandemic were surveyed.ResultsAnalysis revealed that working during the pandemic, personal SARS-CoV-2 infection and workload were positive predictors of occupational stress. Midwives working during the pandemic experienced significantly higher levels of occupational stress compared to the period before the pandemic. Job satisfaction was found to be a negative predictor of stress in both groups, and to mediate the correlation between workload and occupational stress. The positive influence of job satisfaction on coping with stress was stronger in the group working during the pandemic.ConclusionsWorkload increased, and job satisfaction decreased, occupational stress levels in both groups of midwives. The COVID-19 pandemic, directly and indirectly, increased midwives’ occupational stress levels, and reinforced the negative correlation between workload and job satisfaction. The results confirm the important role of working conditions in shaping occupational stress levels.

Terror management research indicates that people reminded of mortality strongly affirm values and standards consistent with their cultural worldview and distance themselves from values and standards inconsistent with it. However, limited research has addressed how individuals holding beliefs inconsistent with the dominant worldview cope with death-related anxiety. The present article aims to determine which worldview subcultural groups rely on when reminded of mortality: mainstream or subcultural? Juvenile delinquents living in residential reformatories in Poland were invited to participate in a terror management study examining the anxiety-buffering strategies of individuals belonging to a group largely outside mainstream culture. Following reminders of mortality, juvenile delinquents increased support for values consistent with the mainstream cultural worldview and decreased support for values consistent with the subcultural worldview, as compared to control conditions. The present results suggest that when faced with existential threat, the subcultural worldview does not provide an adequate anxiety buffer, leading members of this subcultural group to display increased identification with mainstream cultural values. Additionally, participants’ state anxiety following death reminders was mediated by mainstream cultural worldview defense.
