Abstract:The aim of the present study was to investigate job resources and demands and their relatedness to work flow. In line with the three-dimensional model of flow, absorption, work enjoyment and intrinsic work motivation were explored as separate outcomes. Our predictions were tested using a sample of 293 higher education teachers in Slovenia. The participants indicated their levels of flow, job demands (e.g., workload) and job resources (e.g., variety and autonomy) using the Slovenian version of the work flow inventory and job demands-resources scales. Our hypotheses were tested using moderated multiple regression where main as well as interactive effects between job resources and demands were examined. Autonomy and variety were found to enhance absorption, work enjoyment and intrinsic work motivation. Furthermore, autonomy was found to be the most important predictor of all the work flow dimensions. In contrast, workload was not significantly related to any of the outcomes. We also found interactive effects of variety and workload as well as variety and autonomy on absorption.Keywords: work flow, job resources, job demands, higher education teachers Povzetek: Namen naše raziskave je bil raziskati delovne vire in zahteve ter njihovo povezanost z zanosom pri delu. V skladu s tridimenzionalnim modelom zanosa smo proučevali zatopljenost, zadovoljstvo pri delu in notranjo motivacijo na delovnem mestu kot ločene dimenzije. Vzorec je zajemal 293 visokošolskih učiteljev po Sloveniji. Udeleženci so ocenjevali stopnjo delovnega zanosa, delovnih zahtev (npr. splošne delovne obremenitve) in delovnih virov (npr. raznolikost in avtonomija) s pomočjo slovenske različice Vprašalnika o zanosu pri delu in Lestvice delovnih zahtev/ virov. Hipoteze so bile preverjene s pomočjo multiple regresije, pri čemer smo preučevali glavni in interaktivni učinek delovnih virov in zahtev. Rezultati so pokazali, da sta avtonomija in raznolikost pozitivno povezani z zatopljenostjo, zadovoljstvom na delovnem mestu in notranjo motivacijo pri delu. Ugotovili smo tudi, da je avtonomija najpomembnejši napovednik vseh treh dimenzij zanosa pri delu. Po drugi strani delovna obremenitev ni bila povezana z nobeno od dimenzij zanosa pri delu. Potrjen je bil tudi interaktivni učinek raznolikosti in delovne obremenitve ter raznolikosti in avtonomije na zatopljenost pri delu.
