Abstract

The essentials of the presented paper are the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers (maximum 18 months of experience in project management). The primary goal is to determine whether there is a relationship between the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers, and if relationships exist between these variables, to determine their strength. In the theoretical part of the paper, processed using the analysis of relevant information sources, we deal with the concepts of well-being and life satisfaction. As part of the research description, we define an early carrier project manager and describe a sample of respondents consisting of 88 early carrier project managers. To analyze the well-being and life satisfaction variables, we use the Psychological Well-Being Scale questionnaire and the Life Satisfaction Scale questionnaire, where the results of these questionnaires are subsequently subjected to descriptive statistical analysis. We found that there is a moderately strong and statistically significant relationship between the psychological well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers. The results of the research can serve as a basis for developing suitable adaptation programs for early carrier project managers, where HR professionals can devote their attention to improving the well-being of early carrier project managers and their life satisfaction and thus reduce the risk of burnout syndrome, which is a very common phenomenon not only among early carrier professions but also project managers. The issue of well-being appears to be relatively well researched and described, even in the context of project managers. However, the life satisfaction of project managers has not been analyzed in such detail, and it is no longer possible to find the issue of investigating the mutual correlation of well-being and life satisfaction of early-career project managers. It is our research that can narrow this gap in the theories of project management, human resource management, and work psychology. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-02-06 Full Text: PDF

早期职业项目经理：福利和生活满意度分析

本文的主要内容是早期职业项目经理（最多 18 个月的项目管理经验）的心理健康和生活满意度。主要目标是确定早期职业项目经理的心理健康和生活满意度之间是否存在关系，如果这些变量之间存在关系，则确定其强度。在本文的理论部分，我们利用对相关信息来源的分析，讨论了幸福感和生活满意度的概念。作为研究描述的一部分，我们定义了早期运营商项目经理，并描述了由 88 位早期运营商项目经理组成的受访者样本。为了分析幸福感和生活满意度变量，我们使用了心理幸福感量表问卷和生活满意度量表问卷，随后对这些问卷的结果进行了描述性统计分析。我们发现，初入职场的项目经理的心理幸福感和生活满意度之间存在中等强度的关系，且在统计学上有显著意义。研究结果可以作为为早期职业经理人制定合适的适应方案的依据，人力资源专业人员可以将注意力放在提高早期职业经理人的幸福感和生活满意度上，从而降低职业倦怠综合征的风险，这种现象不仅在早期职业经理人中非常普遍，在项目经理中也是如此。对幸福感问题的研究和描述似乎相对较多，即使在项目经理方面也是如此。然而，项目经理的生活满意度却没有得到如此详细的分析，也就不再可能找到研究早期职业项目经理的幸福感与生活满意度相互关联的问题。正是我们的研究可以缩小项目管理、人力资源管理和工作心理学理论上的这一差距。Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2024-08-02-06 Full Text：PDF
