Abstract

This study examined the relationship of social support, happiness, state anxiety, and passion at work (PAW) among medical staff members during armed conflict in Israel. Using snowball sampling, this research investigated how these factors interact in healthcare settings during crisis periods. Findings revealed a significant positive correlation between happiness and harmonious PAW, whereas no relationship was found with obsessive PAW. State anxiety showed a negative correlation with harmonious passion. Social support patterns indicate that healthcare workers relied primarily on immediate supervisors and colleagues rather than formal organizational services, with high support levels reported from significant others and family compared to moderate organizational support. These findings extend previous research by outlining how psychological factors influence different forms of PAW during specific crisis events. The current research has important implications for healthcare organisations in developing effective support mechanisms and crisis management strategies.
