Resumo: The well being of temporary workers is still understudied, especially the role of individual resources as promoters of well being. As such, t his paper aims to examine the role of resilience as a resource for enhancing work engagement and reducing burnout of temporary agency workers. Additionally, thi s study tests the mediating role of work alienation. The study follows a quantitative approach. Based on a sample of 2.054 temporary agency workers, a set of hypotheses were tested using the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM), usi ng SmartPLS3.0. The results show that resilience is positively related to work engagement and negatively related to burnout. Work alienation plays a mediating role between resilience and burnout and work engagement of temporary agency workers by reducing t he effect of resilience. This study novelty highlights the contribution of resilience as a mechanism to reduce burnout and enhance work engagement, but also about the importance of preventing work alienation. Since resilience can be learned and work aliena tion can be avoided, this study has important implications for human resources management strategies and practices.

W związku z tym niniejszy artykuł ma na celu zbadanie roli odporności jako zasobu zwiększającego zaangażowanie w pracę i zmniejszającego wypalenie zawodowe pracowników tymczasowych. Dodatkowo, niniejsze opracowanie poddaje analizie pośredniczącą rolę alienacji w pracy. Opracowanie opiera się na metodzie ilościowej. Na przykładzie 2 054 pracowników tymczasowych, przetestowano zestaw hipotez za pomocą modelowania równań strukturalnych metodą najmniejszych kwadratów (PLS-SEM), przy użyciu SmartPLS3.0. Wyniki pokazują, że odporność jest pozytywnie związana z zaangażowaniem w pracę i negatywnie związana z wypaleniem zawodowym. Alienacja w pracy odgrywa rolę pośredniczącą między odpornością a wypaleniem zawodowym i zaangażowaniem w pracę pracowników tymczasowych poprzez zmniejszenie wpływu odporności. To nowatorskie badanie podkreśla wkład odporności jako mechanizmu zmniejszającego wypalenie zawodowe i zwiększającego zaangażowanie w pracę, ale także znaczenie zapobiegania alienacji w pracy. Jako że odporności można się nauczyć, a alienacji w pracy można uniknąć, niniejsze opracowanie ma istotne znaczenie dla strategii i praktyk zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi.:临时工的福利仍未得到充分研究,尤其是个人资源作为福利促进者的作用。 因此,本文旨在研究复原力作为一种资源在提高工作参与度和减少临时机构工作人 员倦怠方面的作用。 此外,本研究还检验了工作异化的中介作用。 该研究采用定量 方法。 基于 2.054 名临时代理工作人员的样本,使用 SmartPLS3.0 使用偏最小二乘结 构方程模型 (PLS-SEM) 测试了一组假设。 结果表明,弹性与工作投入呈正相关,与 倦怠呈负相关。 工作异化通过降低弹性效应在弹性和职业倦怠与临时工的工作投入 之间起中介作用。 这项研究的新颖性强调了弹性作为一种减少倦怠和提高工作投入 的机制的贡献,同时也强调了防止工作疏远的重要性。 由于可以学习弹性并避免工 作异化,因此本研究对人力资源管理策略和实践具有重要意义。Index Copernicus International2024-02-12T09:10:51Z2023-01-01T00:00:00Z2023info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10773/40647eng2081-745210.17512/pjms.2023.27.1.04Ferreira, P.Gomes, S.info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2024-02-22T12:19:26Zoai:ria.ua.pt:10773/40647Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-20T03:10:31.361415Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
