Research of Well-Being on Work Place and Emotional Burnout in the Small Metal Trade Company: Case of Russia

Abstract:

Currently, the problem of well-being in the workplace, stress and burnout are becoming more relevant due to the increasing complexity, intensity and uncertainty of work. The article is devoted to the study of these phenomena in the organizational environment of the company selling metal in the small business operating in the market of the Ural Federal district, Russian Federation. The study was commissioned by the owner/top Manager of the company in order to improve the organizational climate and is based on such tools as General Labor Well-Being: Structure and Psychometric Properties by Josep M. Blanch, Miguel Sahagún, Leonor Cantera and Genís Cervantes of the Autonomous University of Barcelona  and Confirmatory Study of occupational Burnout by Uribe Prado. It has been shown that despite the relatively stable indicators of well-being in the workplace, some employees experience emotional burnout of varying severity. Recommendations to overcome professional deformation and improve the organizational environment involve individual, cognitive and behavioral strategies.
