Abstract

This is a descriptive correlation study to identify job stress, fatigue, and depression among ship-building supply workers. The subjects were 175 ship-building supply workers at one small & medium-sized ship-building supply company in K city. The data were collected from February 1st throughout 28th, 2013. The collected data were analyzed using the SAS program through mean, standard deviation, and Pearson's correlation coefficients. There was a positive correlation between job need and job insecurity of the job stress underlying factors and fatigue respectively (r=0.15, p<.05; r=0.17, p<.05). There was a negative correlation between organizational system factor and fatigue (r=-0.19, p<.05). Also there was a positive correlation between workplace culture factor and depression (r=0.15, p<.05). In conclusion, it could be needed for organizational managers to develop strategies for improving the workers' psychosocial workplace environment.

본 연구는 조선업 협력업체 근로자의 직무 스트레스, 피로 및 우울과의 관계를 파악하기 위한 서술적 조사연구이다. 대상자는 K시에 위치한 1개 중소규모 조선소 협력업체 근로자 175명 이었고, 자료수집 기간은 2013년 2월 1일부터 2월 28일까지 이었다. 자료분석은 평균 및 표준편차와 Pearson's correlation coefficients을 사용하였다. 직무 스트레스의 하부요인 중에서 직무요구와 직무불안정 요인은 피로와 각각 유의한 양의 상관관계가, 조직체계 요인은 피로와 유의한 음의 상관관계가 있었다(r=0.15, p<.05;r=0.17, p<.05;r=-0.19, p<.05). 또한 조직문화 요인은 우울과 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었다(r=0.15, p<.05). 결론적으로, 조직관리자는 근로자의 심리 사회적 작업환경 개선을 위한 전략을 개발할 필요가 있다.
