“…The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire (WASQ; Scrima, 2020) in the short 9-item form of the Slovak translation (Lisá and Mrázková, 2021) measures three orientations of attachment to the workplace. The model showed the following fit indices CFI = 0.991; TLI = 0.986; RMSEA = 0.043; SRMR = 0.040.…”

IntroductionSince prior research has shown the importance of specific attachment models, we wanted to explore specific adult attachments (colleagues, leader, and workplace) in the working setting. The study aimed to investigate the position of specific adult attachments in the attachment hierarchy and their associations with various organizational variables. Finally, we assumed that dimensions of the colleagues-domain attachment model would cluster into attachment types at work, according to secure, preoccupied, and avoidant attachment orientations.MethodsWe carried out cross-sectional time-lagged research design. The sample consisted of 1,352 participants based on convenience and voluntary sampling procedures. Participants aged 18–78 worked in various work teams and positions. The battery consisted of the Adult Attachment in the Workplace Questionnaire, the Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire, the Scale of Belonging to the Organization, the Leader as Security Provider Scale, the shortened Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised Questionnaire, the Czech Leadership Questionnaire, the Citizenship Organizational Behavior Questionnaire, the General Work Performance questionnaire, the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. Data were analyzed in JASP 0.16.3 and IBM SPSS Statistics 22. Among other statistical methods, we performed factor analysis and two-step cluster analysis. The alpha level for statistical testing was set to 0.05.ResultsThe results show that the work-specific attachment models differ from the romantic domain attachment model. Moreover, the work-specific attachment models also differ among themselves. Depending on the attachment to colleagues, it is possible to distinguish two attachment orientations (secure and insecure) among working adults. These two types differ in all the variables studied (relationships with colleagues, romantic partners, belonging to people and place, and performance).ConclusionThe study advances our knowledge of attachment working models and their application in the organizational context. We confirmed hierarchical attachment mental presentations and show the distinction in attachment working models at work. Colleagues and leaders form two separate domains within the workplace. Attachment to a leader is associated with the leadership style and secure workplace attachment. Attachment to colleagues might be more important in insecure workplace attachment and insecure belonging. Fostering secure attachment at work might bring together more positive outcomes for the company regarding performance and relationships at work.

“…The Leader as Security Provider Scale (LSPS; Molero et al, 2019) measures the perception of a leader as a secure figure. We used the Slovak translation in a shortened 10-item and 2-factor solution (Mrázková and Lisá, 2022). The CFA showed good data fit indices (CFI = 0.998; TLI = 0.997; RMSEA = 0.028; SRMR = 0.054).…”

“…Význam fyzického prostoru v prožívání a zvládání psychických poruch řeší např. Curtis (2010), nicméně v pracovním prostředí jde o téma relativně otevřené dalšímu zkoumání, například z perspektivy vztahu k pracovišti (Mrázková & Lisá, 2022).…”

Cílem příspěvku je popsat zkušenosti lidí s psychickým onemocněním v pracovním procesu (prožívání, postoje a zkušenosti nemocného člověka, jeho interpretaci chování nadřízených, kolegů, podřízených, chování zaměstnavatele a dalších faktorů souvisejících s tématem). Pro výzkum byl použit kvalitativní design – polostrukturovaný online rozhovor s nahrávkou. Výzkumný soubor byl získán prostřednictvím samovýběru. Jako metoda pro analýzu dat byla zvolena Interpretativní fenomenologická analýza (IPA). V souladu se stanoveným cílem výzkumu bylo nalezeno několik vynořujících se témat, z nichž jako nejvýznamnější byla definována: design pracovního místa, vnímané mezní okamžiky a zátěžové faktory, soukromí a osobní prostor, sociální prostor a vedení a pracovní výkonnost.

“…AAW does not specify the significant others at work (colleagues or leaders or somebody else). The Workplace Attachment Styles Questionnaire (WASQ; Scrima, 2020;Lisá & Mrázková, 2021) measures three orientations of attachment to the workplace: the place of work is the object of attachment. The Leader as Security Provider Scale (LSPS; Molero et al, 2019;Mrázková & Lisá, 2022) measures the perception of a leader as a secure figure.…”

The diversity of emotional relationships has resulted in supplementing models of attachment with specific relationship ties that relate to individual domains of interpersonal relationships in human life. We focused on verifying the construct validity of the Attachment in the workplace questionnaire. The sample of our study consisted of 829 participants. The convenient selection was made online. The self-assessment Attachment in the Workplace Questionnaire consisted of 13 questions. Validation of dimensionality through EFA showed three factors: secure attachment to the leader (5 items), anxious attachment to the leader and to colleagues (4 items), and avoidant attachment to colleagues (4 items). The dimensions of the questionnaire showed values of internal consistency above 0.8. The three-factor model showed a good fit to the data. Secure attachment to the leader did not correlate with anxious attachment to colleagues and to the leader. Secure attachment to the leader was moderately significantly related to avoidant attachment to colleagues. Anxious and avoidant attachment dimensions were unrelated. Women scored higher in anxious attachment style and lower in avoidant and secure attachment styles. The results are specific to attachment in a work context where the objects of attachment are the supervisor and colleagues. In further research, we plan to verify the convergent validity of the questionnaire.
