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.
