Abstract

The purpose of the study was to explore quality of sleep, fatigue and job stress and to identify related factors in airlines international flight attendants. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1) Significant factors of job stress by Subject Characteristics were gender(t=-4.14, p<.001), position(F=3.47, p=.011), monthly flight time(F=3.70, p=.028), health supplements(t=3.66, p<.001), sleeping pills(t=4.27, p<.001). 2) A statistically significant relationship between quality of sleep(r=-.57, p<.001), fatigue(r=.61, p<.001) and job stress. 3) The results of the regression analyses showed that fatigue, sleeping pills, gender, quality of sleep were statistically significant in predicting airlines international flight attendants' job stress. The result of this review provide a better understanding of quality of sleep, fatigue and job stress in airlines international flight attendants.

본 연구는 대형항공사 국제선 객실승무원의 수면의 질, 피로 및 직무스트레스를 파악하고 직무스트레스에 미치는 영향요인을 확인하기 위한 서술적 상관관계 조사연구이다. 연구결과 직무스트레스에 유의한 영향을 주는 인구학적 변수는 성별, 직급, 한 달 비행시간, 건강보조식품 복용유무, 수면유도제 복용유무였다. 직무스트레스와 수면의 질은 음의 관계(r=-.57, p<.001), 피로와는 양의 관계(r=.61, p<.001)로 나타났다. 회귀분석 결과 직무스트레스에 유의한 영향을 미친 변수는 피로, 수면유도제 복용유무, 성별, 수면의 질이었으며 55.7%의 설명력을 가졌다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 객실승무원의 직무스트레스에 수면의 질과 피로에 대한 중재가 중요하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
