This is a study of how emotional Engagement can be measured and be taken into account in the development of websites.

AbstractWorking with child and youth welfare is one of the most difficult challenges a social worker might face in the field of social work. Those who work with child and youth welfare are more exposed to stress and burnout than other comparable human service occupations. Research links the prevalence of stress and burnout to several key variables, such as demographics, working conditions and personality factors. In contrast, even though social workers in this field face many negative work-related problems they report a high job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to examine how uplifting and straining experiences affect social workers, who work with child and youth welfare, through the use of The Critical Incident Technique and interviews.

Forskning pekar på att engagerad personal är mer produktiv, positiv och har bättre hälsa än oengagerad. Socialt stöd har i tidigare forskning visat sig ha en buffrande effekt på bland annat stress samtidigt som chefers stöd har visat sig vara en viktig komponent för anställdas hälsa och engagemang. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att undersöka om det finns samband mellan socialt stöd och work Engagement. En enkät delades ut till anställda (N=561) på ett revisionsföretag. Ett positivt signifikant samband mellan socialt stöd och work Engagement påvisas.
