摘要：The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of the two indices of chronic organizational stress (work conflict and overload, and role ambiguity), job involvement and the two indices of organizational commitment (affective- -normative and instrumental commitment) on professional burnout and subjective health complaints. Data were collected from 118 hospital nurses from various hospital wards in Clinical Hospital Rijeka in a two-wave prospective study. There were two measurements, the first one taking place four years before the second one. The first measurement time (Time 1) included measures of organizational stress, job involvement and organizational commitment as well as professional burnout and subjective health complaints, while the second measurement time (Time 2) included only those measures that refer to health outcomes (professional burnout and subjective health complaints). The results show that various combinations of organizational stress, organizational commitment and job involvement variables predict each of the three indices of professional burnout and even after controlling for the same subjective health outcome measured four years before. The results are interpreted focusing on the potentially protective role of the variables that significantly predict subjective health outcomes.
