Introduction: Health of employees is associated with workplace psycho-social
factors. We divide them into direct and indirect. Among the indirect factors in
the workplace are: attitudes towards work, interpersonal relationships, organ-
izational culture, personal skills, career development, delimitation of private
life and self-care. The purpose of the research was to describe the indirect psy-
cho-social factors for employee health.
Method: A descriptive study on a sample of 112 people was conducted at the
general hospital with 994 employees. A standardized questionnaire, Manage-
ment of Psychosocial Risks in Absenteeism, was used as a measuring instru-
ment, with which indirect factors of psycho-social health were investigated.
Results: The research shows that employees had many problems with pain
in the shoulder muscles. They also reported problems with spine, and pain
in the muscles of the lower limbs. The results of the research show that atti-
tudes towards work (r=0,513; p=0,000), interpersonal relationships (r=0,463;
p=0,000), organizational culture (r=0,371; p=0,000), personality differences
(r=0,584; p=0,000), career development (r=0,247; p=0,009), placement of
private lives in lag (r=0,241; p=010) and self-care (r=0,472; p=0,000) are all as-
sociated with psycho-physical health.
Discussion and conclusion: The results show that all indirect psycho-social risk
factors, which were analized, are related to psycho-physical health of employ-
ees. Control of psycho-social risk factors in the workplace is important for
determining the characteristics of work environment and for the appropriate
change. It is important that also hospital employees are aware of the work-
place risk factors.
Key words: health risk factors; hospital; prevention; employees
