ABSTRACT:
This paper discusses the study that considered the predictors of individual involvement in a health care team, following research evidence that the level of personal involvement in an organization correlates negatively with stress levels. The aim was to establish whether organizational culture, teamwork and leadership models play a role in successful individual involvement in a health care team. The sample included 835 respondents from 14 Slovene hospitals and 3 personnel categories: doctors, nurses and non-health care professionals chosen by randomly distributed questionnaires. There were 101 leaders in the respondents group. Linear regression model included eight independent variables and two dependent variables. The results showed that the variance of successful individual involvement correlates most highly with teamwork in an organization (R2 = 0.319) and most important predictor for successful individual involvement was transformational leadership (R2 = 0.411). Also, secondary regression analyses showed that the variance of successful individual involvement in a health care team can be explained differently according to the three personnel categories. From the management point of view, the research provided an insight into the motivation of health care professionals - including ways to motivate them and recognize their work, consequently reducing employee stress levels in Slovene hospitals.
