Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between job stress and smoking behaviors among small scale manufacturing male workers. A self administered questionnaire was given to 856 male workers employed in 24 work places under 50 members of manufacturing industries. As a results, the smoking rates of small scale manufacturing male workers was 35.2%. In the results of multiple logistic regression analysis to know the relationship between job stress and smoking behaviors, the Odds ratio of the total score of Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS) and its subarea(physical environment, job demand, organizational system, lack of reward and occupational climate) were significantly increased in high risk group than normal group. These results suggested that job stress may play a significant role in the smoking behaviors in the high risk group than normal group of small scale manufacturing male workers.

본 연구는 소규모 제조업 사업장 남성 근로자들의 직무스트레스와 흡연과의 관련성을 검토할 목적으로 50인 미만의 소규모 제조업 사업장 24개소에 근무하고 있는 남성 근로자 856명을 대상으로 무기명 자기기입식 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구결과, 조사대상 제조업 남성 근로자의 흡연율은 35.2%이었다. 직무스트레스의 하위영역과 흡연과의 관련성을 검토하기 위한 다변량 로지스틱회귀분석 결과, 직무스트레스 요인 총점과 하위영역(물리적 환경, 직무요구, 조직체계, 보상부적절 및 직장문화)에서의 스트레스요인 점수가 정상군에 비해 고위험 스트레스군에서 현재 흡연군에 속할 위험비가 유의하게 증가하였다. 이 같은 결과는 소규모 제조업 남성 근로자에서의 직무스트레스가 정상인 군보다 고위험스트레스군에서 흡연과의 관련성이 더 높음을 시사하고 있다.
