Abstract

The purpose of this converged study was to examine the influencing factors on occupational stress in Korean workers. Data were collected with a convenience sample of 207 male workers living in Jeollanam-do region. The structured questionnaires measured the general and job-related factors, social support, and occupational stress. The results were as follows. (1) About half of participants had higher scores in occupational stress. (2) The annual income, supervisors' support, and coworkers' support were statistically significant variables predicting the level of occupational stress among Korean workers, accounting for 36% of the variability. The results of the study indicate that it is necessary to establish strategic workforce planning for workers to reduce occupational stress.

본 연구의 목적은 직장인의 일반적 특성과 업무관련 특성, 사회적 지지, 직무스트레스의 정도를 파악하고 직장인의 직무스트레스에 영향을 미치는 요인들을 융합적으로 파악하기 위해 시도되었다. 본 연구 대상자는 전라남도 지역 직장인으로 연구의 목적을 이해하고 연구 참여를 동의한 207명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 구조화된 설문지로 일반적 특성 및 업무관련 특성, 사회적지지, 직무스트레스를 측정하였다. 본 연구결과는 대상자의 약 절반이 직무스트레스가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향요인으로 연봉이 3,000만원 이하인 경우 직무스트레스가 높았으며, 상사지지와 동료지지가 높을수록 직장인의 직무스트레스가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며, 36%의 설명력을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 향후 직장인의 직무스트레스 완화를 위한 관리자 교육을 통한 효율적인 인력 관리 방안 마련이 필요하다.
