Abstract

PurposeThe aim of the paper is to theoretically and empirically explore the issue of well-being (WB) of female administrative employees who work on managerial positions at higher education institutions (HEIs).Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on both literature studies and explorative empirical research conducted in Poland with the use of snowball sampling. It adopted a questionnaire authored by Parker and Hyett and covered 121 respondents.FindingsLiterature studies show that invisibility of work, low level of empowerment, increased stress, workload and expectations, reduced resources, high level of anxiety, fatigue and low level of vitality negatively impact the WB of HEIs’ administrative staff. The presented research provides insight into the internal structure of the administrative staff’s WB. Both the main construct (i.e. employees’ WB) and its subconstructs are on moderate level. Respondents’ age and tasks performed are correlated only with the subconstruct of WB in the form of intrusion of work into private life.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the research is not based on large sample, it provides both practical and theoretical implications.Originality/valueMost of studies discuss the issue of WB of scholars. The paper fills the research gap in terms of examining female administrative employees who work on managerial positions at HEIs.
波兰高等教育机构中担任管理职务的女性行政人员的福利
目的本文旨在从理论和实证两个方面探讨高等教育机构担任管理职务的女性行政人员的幸福感问题。它采用了Parker和Hyett编写的一份调查问卷,涵盖了121名受访者。文献研究表明,工作的隐蔽性、低授权水平、压力、工作量和期望增加、资源减少、高焦虑、疲劳和低活力对高等学校行政人员的WB产生了负面影响。所提出的研究提供了对行政人员WB内部结构的深入了解。主体结构(即员工WB)及其子结构均处于中等水平。受访者的年龄和完成的任务仅与WB的子结构相关,表现为工作侵入私人生活。研究局限性/含义尽管该研究不是基于大样本,但它提供了实践和理论意义。原创性/价值大多数研究都讨论学者的WB问题。本文填补了对高等学校担任管理职务的女性行政人员进行调查的研究空白。
