Sensory processing sensitivity, work-related behaviour patterns (AVEM), life satisfaction and burnout in Polish employees
Description
his dataset contains anonymised survey responses from 185 civilian employees in Poland (152 women, 33 men; aged 20–60), collected online in 2022–2024 within the PRO-MOTION project. Participants completed the short Polish version of the Highly Sensitive Person Scale (HSPS-10), the AVEM questionnaire (Work-Related Behaviour and Experience Patterns, 66 items), the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), and the Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey (MBI-GS), together with sociodemographic and occupational questions. The files include item-level responses, scale scores, the three HSPS components (aesthetic sensitivity, low sensory threshold, ease of excitation), AVEM raw scores and stanines based on Polish norms, and AVEM pattern classification (G, S, A, B). The data were used to examine whether components of sensory processing sensitivity relate differently to work-related behaviour patterns and employee well-being. The related article also analysed a military subsample, which is not included in this dataset. Direct and indirect identifiers were removed. Questionnaire item wording is not included because the AVEM and MBI-GS are copyrighted. A codebook and README are provided in the Excel file; the CSV contains the data sheet only.
