Abstract

Dok se mnoge dosadašnje studije usredotočuju na ravnotežu privatnog i poslovnog života u organizacijama i učinke te ravnoteže na zdravlje i dobrobit zaposlenika, pojavljuje se sve više istraživanja o učincima ravnoteže privatnog i poslovnog života na studentski način života studenata. S obzirom na to da je studentsko vrijeme često prva situacija kada se mladi ljudi počinju ozbiljno boriti za uravnoteženje većeg broja životnih zahtjeva, iskustva studenata u navigaciji nekoliko životnih uloga i obveza na fakultetu mogu bitno utjecati na oblikovanje njihovih stavova, iskustava te njihovu opću dobrobit. Prema Arnettu (2000.), fakultetske godine (18-25 godina) spadaju u ključno razvojno razdoblje u kojem studenti prelaze iz adolescencije u odraslu dob. To razdoblje za studente može biti posebno ranjivo, a razvoj događaja u ovom razdoblju života može bitno utjecati na budućnost koja očekuje svakog studenta. S obzirom na navedeno, da bi se optimiziralo svakodnevno funkcioniranje potrebno je pronaći ravnotežu između različitih uloga koje student preuzima, za što postoji stručni pojam „ravnoteža studiranja, rada i privatnog života studenata“ (engl. Study-Work-Life-Balance – SWLB). Kako bi se istražila ravnoteža privatnog, studentskog i poslovnog života hrvatskih studenata, u empirijskom dijelu rada se na uzorku od 237 ispitanika analizirala ostvarena ravnoteža privatnog, studentskog i poslovnog života u odnosu na broj sati koji studenti tjedno rade. S obzirom na broj radnih sati, ispitanici su bili podijeljeni u tri kategorije te se prosječna ravnoteža privatnog, studentskog i poslovnog života promatrala kroz svaku od tih kategorija prema demografskim obilježjima i trenutnom emocionalnom stanju ispitanika. Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da, suprotno od očekivanja, studenti koji ne rade ostvaruju slabiju ravnotežu od studenata koji rade. S aspekta emocionalnog stanja, ispostavilo se da su studenti koji ne rade manje sretni u odnosu na studente koji rade.

Abstract (english)

While many studies are focused on the work-life balance in organizations and the effects of this balance on employee health and well-being, more and more research is emerging on how the balance of private and business life affects students’ lifestyles. Given that the student period is often the first time young people begin to seriously strive to balance multiple life demands, students’ experiences in navigating multiple life roles and academic obligations can significantly influence the shaping of their attitudes, experiences, and their general well-being. According to Arnett (2000), college years (18-25 years) belong to a key period of development where students transition from adolescence to adulthood. This period can be particularly vulnerable for students as managing different life situations in this period of life can significantly affect the future that awaits each student. Given the above, in order to optimize daily functioning, it is necessary to find a balance between the different roles that the student takes on, for which there is a professional term: Study-Work-Life-Balance – SWLB. In order to investigate the study-work-life-balance of Croatian students, the empirical part of the paper analysed the achieved study-work-life-balance in relation to the number of hours that students work per week on a sample of 237 respondents. The respondents were divided into three categories according to the number of hours worked per week and the average balance was observed through each of those categories in relation to students’ demographic characteristics and current emotional state. The results of the research showed that, contrary to expectations, students who do not work achieve a weaker balance than students who work. From the emotional aspect, it turned out that students who do not work are less happier than students who work.
