Background:: In Italy, the work-related stress and organizational well-being evaluation is subject to specific norms and regulations. The Italian National Anti-Corruption Authority (Autorità Nazionale Anticorruzione - ANAC) has developed a questionnaire to assess the organizational well-being of the employees in Public Administration Institutions.
Objectives:: The study aims to analyse, according to the Job Demands-Resources Theory, the relationship between some job demands (workload, discrimination) and job resources (supervisors and colleagues support, job autonomy, fairness, career opportunities, membership), and some outcomes (work-related stress, emotional exhaustion, job satisfaction).
Methods:: The research involved a public administration and was conducted through a self-report questionnaire (N=414, 60% of the employees). The ANAC questionnaire was integrated with measures from national and international literature on the topic of well-being and stress at work.
Results:: β β β ββββ
Conclusions:: The study seeks to integrate the assessment of well-being and work-related stress thus highlighting the importance of linking the different outcomes with job demands and resources. The results identify possible practices to promote well-being in the organization.
