Abstract

This study has been conducted to determine the fatigue symptoms(MFS) and its convergence association with occupational stress(KOSS) among small scale manufacturing male workers. The self-administered questionnaires were given to 428 workers employed in 14 work places under 50 members of manufacturing industries during the period from September 1st to 15th, 2015. As a results, the level of fatigue symptoms(MFS) was positively correlated with occupational stress(KOSS). Hierarchial multiple regression analysis revealed that the factors of influence with explanatory powers of 34.1% on fatigue symptoms(MFS) included sex, BMI, subject health status, smoking, regular exercise, drinking coffee, visiting out-patient department, sense of satisfaction in job life, and occupational stress(KOSS). Above results suggested that the level of occupational stress(KOSS) is so convergence influenced by variable factors as well as sociodemographic characteristics, health related characteristics and job-related characteristics, to a greater extent, by occupational stress(KOSS).

본 연구는 50명 미만의 소규모 제조업장 근로자들의 직무스트레스와 피로의 융복합적 관련성을 파악하며, 피로에 영향을 미치는 요인이 유의한지를 알아보고자 하였다. 조사대상은 50명 미만의 소규모 제조업장 14개소에 근무하고 있는 남성 근로자 428명으로 하였으며, 자료수집은 2015년 9월 1일부터 15일까지 스스로 작성하는 질문지를 통해 이루어 졌다. 연구결과, 조사대상의 피로수준은 직무스트레스(KOSS)수준과 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보였다. 피로수준에 영향을 미치는 요인으로는 성, BMI, 주관적 건강상태, 흡연상태, 규칙적인 운동여부, 커피음용여부, 외래진료유무, 직장생활의 만족도, 직무스트레스(KOSS)가 유의하게 나타난 변수이며 변수설명력은 34.1%이었다. 이상과 같은 결과는 소규모 제조업 남성 근로자들의 피로수준은 인구 사회학적 특성별, 건강관련 행위특성별, 직무관련 및 직무스트레스와 유의한 융복합적 관련성이 있음을 시사하고 있다.
