Main description
Nel corso degli ultimi anni è cresciuta l'attenzione intorno ai temi del benessere e della salute nel contesto accademico. Studi recenti suggeriscono che il personale docente e ricercatore è sottoposto a numerose pressioni sul lavoro provenienti da una varietà di fonti e questo determina importanti ricadute sui livelli di benessere. Nello specifico, il presente lavoro si è proposto di esplorare nell'ottica del modello JDR, richieste, risorse lavorative ed esiti di benessere lavorativo e verificare differenze significative in relazione al genere e al ruolo del personale accademico. Lo studio ha coinvolto 1481 ricercatori e docenti appartenenti a cinque Atenei pubblici italiani. I risultati pongono in evidenza alcune criticità all'interno dei contesti accademici e forniscono spunti per avviare una riflessione più profonda circa l'importanza per le università e le istituzioni accademiche di affrontare attivamente il tema della salute e del benessere.
