Abstract

The paper presents a new approach to preventive examinations of employees in relation to the low reliability of the appraisals made due to experiencing stress that does not allow employees to fully present their potential. This approach is illustrated using the example of a case study of a voice professional. The study provides a detailed, quantitative view of the emotions experienced, revealed during the voice recording and audiometry procedure. Differences were found as a result of the study in terms of the intensity of emotions. EDA and HRV measurement values were highest when questionnaires were being completed concerning the emotions experienced during voice recording and audiometry. The discussion focuses on the possibilities of analysing emotions using psychophysiological measurements and on the benefits of combining research methods (physical examinations, psychological examinations, and psychophysiological measurements) in the context of employee appraisal to predict the effects of the impact of work on subjective well-being and health of individuals.
