Abstract
This study is to verify the mediating effect of depression between job stress and job satisfaction among workers in small and medium sized enterprises. The survey was conducted to workers in small and medium sized enterprises, and 117 cases were finally applied. As results, job stress has significantly negative effect on job satisfaction and positive effect on depression. Depression also has partial mediating effect on between job stress and job satisfaction. We finally suggest that customized management system should be provided for the workers in small and medium-sized enterprises, and occupational welfare system, including employee assistance program (EAP), must be launched for these workers.
