Abstract

Cilj ovog rada sustavno je predstaviti teoretske pristupe te empirijske rezultate vezane za koncept dosade u radnom okruženju. S obzirom na takav cilj ovaj rad je preglednog karaktera. Kako bi se sustavno prikazalo ispitivanje navedenog fenomena pretražena je sva relevantna literatura kako o dosadi u radnom okruženju, tako i o konceptu dosade općenito.
Naveden je niz teoretskih definicija i pristupa proučavanju ovog fenomena. Od posebne važnosti su radovi koji su bili usmjereni na situacijske te individualne faktore koji doprinose doživljaju dosade. Primjerice, pokazalo se kako monotoni i repetitivni radni zadaci, poput rada na radnoj traci, značajno doprinose doživljaju dosade. Individualni faktori su bili usmjereni na koncept sklonosti doživljavanja dosade kao zasebnoj crti koja doprinosi učestalosti doživljaja dosade. Ekstraverzija i neuroticizam su se pokazale kao važne crte ličnosti za doživljaj dosade.
Doživljavanje dosade na radnom mjestu povezano je i sa slabijim zdravljem, nižim zadovoljstvom na radnom mjestu, ali i učestalijim kraĎama i sabotažama radnih procesa. Važnim se pokazao i koncept nošenja s dosadom u okviru kojeg se uočavaju različite kognitivne i bihevioralne strategije.
Na kraju rada slijedi osvrt na cijelo područje s prijedlozima za buduća istraživanja, kako u metodološkom tako i u tematskom smislu. Primjerice, predložena je veća usmjerenost na usklaĎivanje terminologije (poput doživljaja i sklonosti dosadi), psihometrijsku validaciju postojećih mjera te ispitivanje odnosa sklonosti doživljavanja i nošenja s dosadom.

Abstract (english)

The objective of this study was to systematically present the theoretical approaches and empirical results relating to the concept of boredom in the work environment. Given the objective, this paper thus has a review character. In order to systematically outline the testing of this phenomenon, all the relevant literature was investigated, both on boredom in the work environment, and on the general concept of boredom.
A series of theoretical definitions and approaches to studying this phenomenon are given. Of particular importance are papers focused on the situational and individual factors that contribute to the experience of boredom. For example, it was shown that monotonous and repetitive work tasks, such as work on the production line, significantly contributed to the experience of boredom. Individual factors were directed at the concept of inclinations to experience boredom as a particular trait which contributes to the frequency of feeling bored. Extroversion and neuroticism also proved to be important character traits for the feeling of boredom.
Feeling of boredom in the work environment is also associated with poor health, lower job satisfaction, and frequent thefts and sabotage of work processes. The concept of dealing with boredom also proved important, with various cognitive and behavioural strategies observed.
Finally, an overview of this research topic is given with proposals for future research, both in terms of methodology and in the thematic sense. For example, it is proposed that greater attention be directed at aligning the terminology (such as the experience of and tendency to boredom), psychometric validation of existing measures and testing relations of the tendencies to experience boredom and ways of coping with boredom.
