Mental Health of Professionally Active Poles
12/09/2024
Initial assumptions:
Objective: The aim of the study was to diagnose the mental health of professionally active Poles, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and changing market conditions. The focus was on stress, professional burnout, and other challenges affecting the psychological wellbeing of employees.
Methodology: The study was conducted using online interviews (CAWI) among respondents declaring professional activity. The sample was diversified by gender, city size, industry, work mode, and generational cohort. Four main generational groups were included: Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers.
Execution:
A total of 1,219 people took part in the study. The interviews were conducted during April and May 2024.
Results:
The study presented an ambitious challenge due to the sensitive nature of mental health as a topic and the difficulties involved in recruiting a representative sample of professionally active Poles. With the support of the advertising agency Runaways (known for running the Mordor Na Domaniewskiej profile and the 31 marathons in 31 days project) and Piotr Konopka, we were able to reach a broad and diverse group of respondents, enabling a detailed understanding of intergenerational differences and the impact of changing economic conditions on employees' psychological wellbeing.
A key success of the study was the identification of critical issues such as low levels of psychological support in the workplace and high levels of stress and professional burnout, particularly among the youngest generations. Despite the difficulties in obtaining candid responses on the subject of mental health, we were able to conduct an in-depth analysis that also accounted for factors such as remote work, social isolation, and growing labour market demands.
