Sažetak
Stress impacts all aspects of human functioning. Stress management is crucial in the maintenance of work potential, health preservation and overall better life quality. The goal of this research is to determine the amount of observed stress and its connection to health and physical activity in working people. Participants of this research were 554 working people (280 f, 274 m) between the ages of 18 and 64 that work in different services of social and private sectors in Croatia. Besides the demographic variables, a 10-item PSS scale (Choen and Williamson 1988) was also used as a measuring instrument. Multiple regressional analysis shows a significant statistical difference in percieved stress. Variables that are most influential in the differentiation are gender, educational status, personal health assessment and physical exercise. People who stated poorer health status and showed higher levels of percieved stress were also less physically active. It is neccessary to conduct a more extensive research that deals with the issue of stress levels and the effect stress has on the overall functioning of the employees. Multidisciplanary and longitudinal researches that are related to health perception, stress perception and the level of physical exercise in employees are missing. They are needed to gain a better understanding of the issues and to develop beneficial strategies of stress management while also taking into consideration the type of employement.
