To be able to work safely and efficiency, the Threshold Limit Values (TLV) for work in the heat are widely used. Since these TLV are only applicable to workers in regular clothing, TLV should be adjusted when applied to the asbestos removal workers who wear extra impermeable protective clothing. Although abbreviated guidelines for heat stress exposure have been proposed, literature advocating their use in the asbestos removal industry is limited. Therefore, we planed a survey to evaluate the workload of asbestos abatement workers in summer, and an experiment with climatic chambers to evaluate the effects of resting in a cool environment between work periods. From these studies, we got following conclusions. There is a high risk of suffering from heat illness by asbestos abatement work in summer in Japan. It is proposed to create a cool room inside the workplace of asbestos abatement work to reduce thermal stress.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to develop an employee's stress response scale (ESRS) and examine its validity and reliability. Methods : The study was conducted as follows : item generation, and test of validity and reliability. Items were developed via literature review, review of instruments, and data acquired from email-survey of counselors in the field of Employee Assistance Program (EAP). In order to test validity and reliability, data were collected from 400 employees. Results : The result of exploratory factor analysis of ESRS suggested 4 factor structures (work-related, anger, somatization, depression & anxiety) with a total of 25 items. ESRS showed a relatively strong positive correlation with Hospital Anxiety-Depression scale (HAD), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Psychological Wellbeing Index (PWI), which showed ESRS had high convergent validity. Cronbach's ${\alpha}$ and test-retest reliability was .95 and .610 respectively. Conclusion : The ESRS is reliable and valid brief scale for measuring stress responses of employees. This scale would be useful in quantitatively evaluating job stress in workplace.

The purpose of this study was to investigate working mothers'parenting stress. The study was approached from an ecological perspective. Data were collected from 185 mothers who were professionals, office or labor workers, and have their children enrolled at the day care center located at their workplace. All the subjects lived in Seoul. The results of this study were as follows: 1. The working mothers'parenting stress was found to be at a moderate level(Mean=2.30). 2. The hierarchical and stepwise regression analyses revealed that significant variables in explaining the parenting stress of working mothers were the degrees of attachment with the subject's mother($\beta$=-.24), age($\beta$=-.23), the degrees of flexibility in working conditions($\beta$=-.19), educational level($\beta$=.18), the degrees of husbands'participation in child care($\beta$=-.17), and the number of children ($\beta$=.16). These variables explained 17.2% of working mother's parenting stress. 3. It was found that the effect of microsystem variables on working mothers' parenting stress were greater than the combined effects of mesosystem, exosystem and macrosystem variables.

Purpose: The greatest asset to all organizations is the employees and they should be guarded against factors hindering their work ability. Nevertheless, most organizations are always more concerned about making profits to the extent of forgetting their employee's welfare. On this point, this study aims to examine employee's work-related stress and its relationship with work ability. Research design, data and methodology: This study focused on obtaining mostly peer-reviewed works to suggest research findings, assuming that qualitative literature approach allows researchers to explore in-depth information concerning complex issues in a standard life setting. Numerous prior researchers applied their research design in content analysis, especially where various concepts are present for analysis. Results: Based on numerous qualitative textual resources, this study found that human resource practitioners should plan stress management strategies for their employees to apply five kinds of solutions that the current study suggests because it is vital to ensure their wellbeing towards sustaining their performance. Conclusions: All in all, based on the findings, this study concludes that employee's work stress negatively impacts their work ability with affecting their mental health. As a result, there is little doubt that practitioners should regularly monitor the working environment for stress-related factors besides creating a healthy working environment for all employees.

본 연구는 장애인활동지원사의 직무스트레스와 자기효능감이 이직의도에 영향을 미치고 직무몰입이 매개효과가 있는지를 통해 장애인활동지원사의 위기와 역경을 극복할 수 있는 문제해결에 기여함을 목적으로 한다. 이에 서울.경기 장애인활동지원사업 수행기관에서 재직 중인 활동지원사 290명을 대상으로 2019.5.1.-6.30.까지 설문조사하여 SPSS 24.0 통계프로그램으로 분석한 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 장애인활동지원사의 직무스트레스와 자기효능감이 직무몰입에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 즉 관계갈등이 높을수록, 직장문화에 대한 부적응이 심할수록 직무몰입에 악영향을 미치고 정서적지지, 평가적지지, 정보적지지가 높을수록 직무에 몰입하는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 직무스트레스와 자기효능감이 이직의도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었다. 이는 관계갈등이 많을수록, 직장이 불안정할수록 직장문화에 적응이 힘들수록 이직의도는 더 많은 것으로 확인되었다. 셋째, 직무스트레스와 이직의도와의 관계에서 직무몰입은 매개역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 넷째 자기효능감은 이직의도와의 관계에서 직무몰입은 매개역할을 하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과를 토대로 장애인활동지원사의 직무스트레스 감소와 직무몰입을 향상시키며 이직의도를 줄이기 위한 실천적, 정책적 방안을 제안하고자 한다.
