Abstract: This article examines the question associated with the occupational burnout phenomenon among the city bus drivers of Kraków. The main topic of this research is included into the content of the question: are there signs of the occupational burnout syndrome among the polled city bus drivers? The following specific problems were being formulated:


Do the drivers show signs of emotional and physical exhaustion?


Do the drivers show sign of depersonalization?


Do the drivers show the signs of dissatisfaction with their job?


The additional question was formulated in the following way: do the drivers have feeling that they carry a tremendous responsibility for life and health of other people? The authors comprised an original survey based on the literature on this matter, as well as TEDIUM test. The survey consists of 21 close-end questions with regards to three dimensions of occupational burnout: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, lack of the feeling of satisfaction with their job. The conclusion demonstrates that the polled drivers do not explicit the features of job burnout syndrome, although expressively declare the feeling of immense responsibility for the life and health of other people. However, the attention should be paid to the degree of depersonalization, in which 2 out 5 indexes received excessive results (stressed passengers, substantive interpretation of passengers).

Abstract: The problem, which is the subject of discussion of this paper, concerns the relationship between the structure of aggressiveness, the social maladjustment of the youth and the ineffective social control from the primary groups. The one of the possibilities to the explanation of these relationships is the reference to the main theses of Travis Hirschi control theory.The study was conducted in March 2013. The hypotheses were tested on 100 students from vocational schools. In the study was used the survey research and self-report method. For the purpose of verification hypotheses was used Pearson's correlation coefficient. The results confirmed only part of the assumed relationships between variables.
