Abstract
Technological advances in the field of medicine, which received an additional impetus to development during the COVID-19 pandemic, and subsequent organizational changes, increased requirements for high efficiency and quality of work of medical organizations, often continue to have a significant impact on the well-being of medical workers even after the pandemic in the absence of sound management. The work environment is a key factor determining the well-being and health of medical workers. Increasing the competence of managers in determining strategies for preventive solutions to the problem of an unfavorable working environment is the main condition for reducing the spread of professional burnout syndrome and personnel shortages in medicine. A well-structured work environment, organizational and communicative cultures of medical organizations and improved working conditions of medical workers are significant determinants of the effectiveness and quality of healthcare.
