Sažetak
In today’s hectic work environment, more than ever before, employees feel stressed when they cannot cope with demands, opportunities, or restrictions that arise from the work they perform. Workplace stress mainly occurs when a person cannot perform work tasks or expectations and consequently feels high pressure from a superior or business environment. Regardless of its intensity, workplace stress has a critical effect on an individual's physical and mental health and it is crucial to discover its causes and prevent it. This paper focuses on workplace stress among seasonal workers. It aims to analyze the workplace stressors among seasonal workers and how they could be managed and prevented. Data were collected from 110 seasonal workers in Croatia during summer 2021. Results revealed that seasonal workers are stressed in their workplace. The main stressors are work overload, job completion problems, work conditions, fear and insecurity and poor relationship with colleagues. There are differences in stressors intensity considering demographic variables. In addition, the results showed that managers do care for their employees. Also, managers and seasonal employees are aware of the importance of stress management and its prevention. The research results are beneficial for organizations and society, indicating the stressors and showing a direction on reducing the causes of stress. Overall, the results highlight the importance of stress management and the prevention of stress-related problems in the workplace.
