Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the association between job stress and metabolic syndrome among male workers. Methods: A total of 396 male workers employed in an electronic company, located in 'P' city, Gyeonggi Province, who had taken medical examination at the 'D' hospital, volunteered in this study. All the data used in this study were obtained from 'D' hospital after getting consent and permission from the workers. General and occupational characteristics, medical history, and health-related behaviors of the subjects were obtained by self-administered questionnaire. Results: The highest occupational stress by sub-sector was reported in the order of insufficient job control, organizational system, lack of reward, job demand, job insecurity, physical environment, job culture, and relationship conflict. The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome of the participants was 19.9%. The results of the multiple logistic regression analysis on metabolic syndrome of the subjects indicated that the syndrome was significantly higher among those with family history, smoking habit and ex-smoking, working duration of 3 years and over, and with higher total score of occupational stress. It was significantly more prevalent, when the degree of stress was high in the sub-sectors of occupational stress; job autonomy, job insecurity, lack of reward, and job culture. Conclusion: In conclusion, it is necessary to implement a plan to efficiently manage the job stress of these male workers, as the probability of metabolic syndrome increased with the increase of occupational stress. Furthermore, considering the highest occupational stress was found to be job autonomy among its sub-sectors, it is necessary to prepare various measures to enhance the autonomy of such employees.

The purpose of this study was to survey and analyze the effects of job satisfaction and job stress on organizational commitment among radiological technologist working in primary, secondary and tertiary hospitals in Busan. As a result, the scores of job satisfaction and organizational effectiveness of the tertiary hospital were significantly higher (p<0.05). In the group with no turnover experience, the organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and organizational effectiveness scores were significantly higher (p<0.05, p<0.01). Job stress was not statistically significant between variables in the analysis of general characteristics. Hierarchical regression analysis showed that the radiological technologist organizational commitment had the highest impact on job satisfaction (β=0.703, p<0.001). Radiological technologist are important in the diagnosis and radiation therapy of diseases in hospital. Therefore, based on the results of this study, it will be helpful to analyze the relationship between job satisfaction, job stress and organizational commitment of radiological technologist, and to prepare a plan to increase their organizational commitment.

This paper studies the quality of the major domestic job information sites and compares the strong and weak points of them. The study was conducted with respect to the user satisfaction by asking job seekers and employers. Questionnaires consist of three factors: quality of information, quality of delivery, quality of environment, each factor of which contains several sub-questions. The results showed that the quality of information was the most important factor to both job seekers and job Provider. The lower job providers' satisfaction than job seekers' indicated more various services should be developed fer job providers. Specially, Personal information is not protected well enough to satisfy job seekers, so improvement plan is required. Public job information site requires as much service level as private job information sites.

Background: This study aimed to provide basic data to establish a foundation for efficient operation of the organization by assessing the effects of self-efficacy and job stress (measured by self-efficacy, job demand, and job autonomy) on organizational commitment among clinical dental hygienists. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey study that used a self-administered questionnaire to collect data. After institutional review board approval, a survey was conducted from January to May 2017, targeting dental hygienists working in dental clinics and hospitals. The final 199 questionnaires were analyzed with PASW 18.0 for Windows (IBM Corp.). The data were analyzed using mean and/or standard deviation t-test, one-way ANOVA, and multiple regression analysis. Results: The means for self-efficacy, job demand, job autonomy, and organizational commitment were $55.94{\pm}9.65$, $26.55{\pm}2.29$, $20.24{\pm}3.88$, and $49.49{\pm}8.39$, respectively. Along with self-efficacy, the other factors of organizational commitment among dental hygienists that were statistically significant included job autonomy, mean salary (2,500~2,990 thousand Korean won [KRW] and ${\geq}3,000$ thousand KRW), and employee welfare (good), which are sub-areas of the surface acting. In other words, it was found that the higher the mean salary, the better the employee welfare, the higher self-efficacy, and the higher the organizational commitment, and the explanatory power of the model was approximately 42.1%. Conclusion: These results suggest that the higher the self-efficacy, job autonomy, mean salary, and employee welfare, the higher the organizational commitment. In order to improve job demand among dental hygienists, it is necessary to establish an effective plan to improve job welfare, self-efficacy, and job autonomy.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to find out what kind of change in death rate when job stress is solved by calculating job stress relieve coefficient. Methods: This study used the data of the fourth working condition survey. Regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between health effects recognition and Death rate per 10,000 workers. After that the recognizing and non - recognizing groups were categorized by health effects recognition, and the differences between the two groups were confirmed by cross tabulation analysis. Results: Regress analysis P-value is 0.011 and $R^2$ is 0.979. Death rate per 10,000 worker increased with the increase in the number of non - health impact recognizing group. The relieve factors were (1) work culture(2.859) (2) physical environment(2.184), (3) improper reward (1,839), (4) relationship conflict(1.646), (5) job requirement(1.613), (6) job autonomy(1.354), (7) job instability(1.334), And (8) organizational system(1.201). The higher the relieve coefficient is, the higher the probability of belonging to the non - health impact recognizing group when there is no job stress factor. Conclusions: When job stress is resolved, there is a high probability that the health impact recognition is reduced, which can lead to an increase in death rate. but according to previous studies, Job stress can cause accidents by reducing the safety behavior of accidents. The job stress management plan should simultaneously consider reducing job stress and increasing health impact recognition.
