Work plays a very important role in the lives of people, companies, and society, in general. Individuals value work for the income it provides, but also because it contributes to self-esteem and personal happiness that people feel when they put their competencies to work. Work is important from the point of individual well-being, but it also forms the cornerstone of economic and social development. However, as a very common phenomenon, not only in our country, but in other countries, too, is that work can prevail in the workers family and private life. Many employees may feel unable to make an adequate balance between their work and private life. Because of this, frustration often arises among them as they are aware that they do not spend enough time with their family, or are neglecting their personal needs. In the same time, families are facing with reduced functionality and alienation of family members. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the level of work-life balance in Serbia, and its relation to job stress. The methodology of the research consists of theoretical and empirical analysis. Theoretical research is based on a literature review, while the empirical research is based on the answers of 291 employees from different organizations in Serbia. The data were collected in October 2023. The analysis is performed by implementing PLS-SEM to investigate the relations between work-life balance and job stress, and by descriptive statistics to investigate the level of work-life balance in Serbia.

“…Friedman & Greenhaus (2000) view work and private life as allies instead of enemies, claiming that performing work tasks does not interfere with performing private activities and vice versa, but rather that positive experience in one life sphere contributes to achieving success in the other one. Therefore, work/life balance can be established by placing enough "weight" on work activities while maintaining a healthy "counterweight" in the form of personal interests and quality relationships with friends and family members (Mladenović, 2020). Determinants (factors) that can affect manager's work/life balance can be grouped into: 1) subjective factors and 2) company factors (Gilbreath, 2004;Koekemoer & Mostert, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, companies within their branding strategies should tend to attract, develop and retain the best quality managers, while striving to contribute to establishing their work/ life balance by offering various practices and benefits to managers, thereby differentiating themselves on the labor market and creating a reputation of an innovative and desirable employer that follows modern trends (Ivanović-Đukić & Đorđević, 2005). Therefore, work/life balance benefits can be considered a "win-win" solution for both managers and companies (Mladenović, 2020).…”

In the era of knowledge economy, company's competitive advantage is mostly created by skills and knowledge of its employees, especially managers as the most significant segment of company's human intellectual capital. The subject of this paper is manager's work/life balance and possibility of its measurement. Balanced and satisfied managers represent a good foundation for achieving company's goals. The paper will present certain subjective factors and company factors that can affect manager's work/life balance. Within these factors, various practices and benefits for establishing manager's work/life balance can be distinguished, depending on whether they are created by companies and offered to their managers, or they are designed and implemented by managers themselves outside the company. The purpose of this paper is presenting the conceptual model of interdependence of manager's job satisfaction, manager's private life satisfaction and manager's work/life balance satisfaction, which includes dimensions of each of these types of manager's satisfaction that managers can assess through a questionnaire. Based on this model and managers' grades, the result of this paper is reflected in the created index methodology for calculating the values of indices of the mentioned types of manager's satisfaction, which can be applied at the level of the individual manager as well as at the level of the company, and it can also be used for comparing the values of determined satisfaction indices by managers, by years and between companies.

“…Ističe se, da je kod profesija sa visokom dinamikom rada, a niskim stepenom odlučivanja u koje se ubraja upravo sestrinska profesija, rizik nastanka stresa, a potom i drugih poremećaja najveći [6,7]. Stres na radnom mestu i mentalna oboljenja povezana sa radom, ostavljaju evidentne posledice smanjenja produktivnosti i povećanja apsentizma radnika ili čak dovode do napuštanja radnog mesta [8,9]. Permanentna izloženost stresu narušava zdravlje, utiče na radnu sposobnost, ponašanje i kvalitet života svakog pojedinca [10].…”

Introduction/Objective The burnout syndrome among the nursing staff occurs when the intensity of the stressor exceeds the realistic capabilities of the individual/employee. This article aims to identify burnout syndrome risk factors in the nurse/technician population in secondary healthcare institutions. Methods The research was conducted at the General Hospital in Loznica in May 2023, as a cross-sectional study on a sample of 58 nurses/technicians. The research instrument was a questionnaire specifically constructed for this study, which incorporated 14 questions related to the assessment of burnout syndrome. The results were scored, and the level of burnout was analyzed according to the Freudenberger scale. Results The majority of the respondents (66%) primarily identified stress in the workplace, as opposed to other studied stressors; 69% of the sample felt overworked, and 27% felt constant fatigue regardless of the amount of rest and sleep they got. By assessing the existence of burnout syndrome, which was carried out based on a point system and the original scale (derived from the semantic differential scale), it was determined that 4% of the respondents were professionally burned out, 15% were affected by the burnout syndrome, 32% were at risk, and that 40 % of the sample were candidates for its development. Conclusion Nurses/technicians are continuously exposed to stress in the workplace due to the very nature of the work they perform. Therefore, the activities of all relevant organizations and institutions should be focused on designing preventive strategies regarding burnout in the workplace. This research proved the existence of stress at work, work overload, fatigue, inadequate working conditions, and lack of self-maintenance strategies and culture of support at the workplace in the observed population.
