Abstract

The purposes of this study were to examine the depression level of sales workers at a cosmetics company in South Korea and investigate the effects of emotional labor, job stress, and resilience on their depression symptoms. A structured questionnaire was distributed to 189 workers at the cosmetics company to assess their general characteristics, diseases diagnosed by the doctor, depression, emotional labor, job stress, and resilience. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted to examine connections among depression symptoms, emotional labor, job stress, and resilience. The findings show that the depression symptom rate of the cosmetics sales workers was 32.3%. The multiple logistic regression analysis results of the high risk group in depression symptoms show that depression had significant relations with resilience(OR : 3.84, CI : 1.68-8.77), diseases diagnosed by the doctor(OR : 3.82, CI : 1.73-8.47), emotional disharmony(OR : 2.51, CI : 1.06-5.96), and job demand(OR : 2.12, CI : 0.93-4.85). The low risk group of emotional labor was corrected in age, doctor's diagnosis, and job stress with the reference value to analyze connections with depression symptoms according to the degree of resilience. The analysis results show that depression symptoms increased by 2.35 times(CI : 0.73-7.53) when they had high emotional labor and good resilience, by 3.74 times(CI : 1.17-11.97) when they had low emotional labor and bad resilience, and by 10.39 times(CI : 3.34-32.28) when they had high emotional labor and bad resilience. These findings raise a need to run a program to increase resilience, reduce emotional disharmony through emotional labor management, and take health management measures to control physical illness and lower job stress so that cosmetics sales workers can manage their depression symptoms.

본 연구는 한국의 일개 화장품 회사 판매직 근로자의 우울수준을 확인하고 감정노동, 직무스트레스, 회복탄력성이 우울증상에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구대상은 화장품 회사 판매직 여성 근로자 189명으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 일반적인 특성, 의사진단 질병, 우울, 감정노동, 직무스트레스, 회복탄력성을 평가하여 분석하였다. 우울증상과 감정노동, 직무스트레스, 회복탄력성의 관련성을 파악하기 위해 단변량 분석과 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 시행하였고, 연구결과 화장품 판매직 여성 근로자의 우울증상률은 32.3%이었다. 우울증상 고위험군에 대하여 다중 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시한 결과, 회복탄력성(OR : 3.84, CI : 1.68-8.77), 의사진단 질병(OR : 3.82, CI : 1.73-8.47), 감정부조화(OR : 2.51, CI : 1.06-5.96), 직무요구도(OR : 2.12, CI : 0.93-4.85)가 우울에 유의한 관련성을 보였다. 또한 감정노동 저위험군을 기준값으로 나이, 의사진단, 직무스트레스를 보정하여 회복탄력성 정도에 따른 우울증상의 관련성을 분석한 결과 감정노동이 높고 회복탄력성이 좋은 경우는 우울증상이 2.35배(CI : 0.73-7.53) 높았으며, 감정노동이 낮고 회복탄력성이 나쁜 경우는 우울증상이 3.74배(CI : 1.17-11.97), 감정노동이 높고 회복탄력성도 나쁜 경우에 우울증상이 10.39배(CI : 3.34-32.28) 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구결과를 통해 화장품 판매직 여성 근로자의 우울증상 관리를 위해 회복탄력성을 높이는 프로그램 운영과 감정노동 관리를 통한 감정적 부조화를 줄이고 신체적 질병 관리와 직무스트레스를 낮추도록 하는 건강관리 방안이 필요하다는 것을 제시한다.
