The safety of young employees in the gambling industry

Abstract

Modern society shifts its focus to the security of the individual, as the basic unit of society, in all spheres of his life. The aim of this study is to present the results of research on the subjective feeling of safety of employees in the gaming industry in Serbia. The results showed that almost half of them feel insecure in their workplace. Analysis of the results of research tells us that the socio-demographic characteristics of subjects, such as sex, age structure, but also the Serbian region in which they live, and also if they belong to the student population, have an impact on their perception of the level of safety in the workplace. Other socio-demographic characteristics of an individual which have been studied have shown no statistical significance. Stress in respondents who feel very insecure in the workplace increases most when there is a physical conflict with someone or a major material loss. A linear correlation between indicators of stress and feelings of safety in the workplace was confirmed. The obtained results can be used to improve the safety situation at workplaces where money and people are handled, but also to take preventive measures in order to reduce the level of risk.
