antecedents and consequences of employees Job Stress in a foodservice industry focused on emotional labor and turnover intent
International Journal of Hospitality Management, 2014Co-Authors: Hyo Sun Jung, Hye Hyun YoonAbstract:Abstract The purpose of this study is to understand the interrelationships among employees’ emotional labor, emotional dissonance, Job Stress, and turnover intent in the foodservice industry. The study was administered to 338 family-style restaurant employees. The results showed that employees’ emotional labor was positively associated with emotional dissonance, Job Stress, and turnover intent. However, employees’ emotional dissonance did not have a significant, direct impact on turnover intent. In addition, employees’ Job Stress was positively associated with turnover intent.

Job Stress and depressive symptoms among korean employees the effects of culture on work
International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 2009Co-Authors: Shingoo Park, Sei Jin Chang, Kyoungbok Min, Hwancheol Kim, Jin Young MinAbstract:This study was conducted to investigate the association between depressive symptoms and Job Stress, as measured by the KOSS, among Korean employees in small- and medium-sized enterprises, and examined which components of Stress are involved in the risk for depression among males and females. Data were collected from a work-Stress survey of full-time employees of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Incheon, South Korea. A total of 3,013 participants were included in the analysis. Job Stress was measured using 24 items (7 sub-scales) of the short form of Korean occupational Stress scale (KOSS-SF), and depressive symptoms were evaluated using Center for epidemiologic studies depression scale (CES-D). After adjustment for confounding variables, most of subscales of Job Stress contributed to an increased risk of depressive symptoms, and Job insecurity (male; OR = 2.02, 95%CI: 1.61–2.40, female; OR = 1.95, 95%CI: 1.42–2.70) and occupational climate (male; OR = 1.84, 95%CI: 1.49–2.28, female; OR = 1.78, 95%CI: 1.30–2.49) showed strong associations in both male and female. Other subscales revealed different effects for males and females; for males, Job demands (OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.43–2.20), inadequate social support (OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.23–1.94), and lack of rewards (OR = 1.88, 95%CI: 1.48–2.37) were associated with depressive symptoms, whereas for females, organizational injustice (OR = 1.62, 95%CI: 1.14–2.30) was associated with depressive symptoms. These results indicate that Job Stress may play a significant role in increasing the risk of depressive symptoms, and that further preventive efforts and research are needed to reduce Job Stress and address health problems caused by Job Stress among Korean employees.

Job Stress and cardiovascular risk factors in male workers
Preventive Medicine, 2005Co-Authors: Myung Gun Kang, Sang Baek Koh, Bong Suk Cha, Jong-ku Park, Soon Koo Baik, Sei Jin ChangAbstract:Abstract Background . This study examined whether Job Stress (work demand and decision latitude) is associated with smoking, blood pressure, lipid level (total cholesterol, triglyceride, HDL cholesterol), and homocystein as risk factors for cardiovascular disease in Korean male workers. Methods . Study subjects of this study were recruited from a sample of 1,071 workers in 20 companies of W city and H counties, and they were grouped into four categories (high strain group, active group, passive group, and low strain group) based on the postulation of Karasek's Job Strain Model. Of them, we invited 160 male workers (40 people each subgroup) using a stratified sampling, and finally, 152 eligible participants were analyzed. Results . In multivariate analyses, we found that decision latitude was associated with cholesterol, triglyceride, and homocystein and that work demand was related to smoking and systolic blood pressure. Job strain (the combination of high work demand with low decision latitude) was significantly related to higher levels of homocystein after controlling for age, BMI, smoking, and social support at workplace. Conclusions . These results indicate that Job Stress is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and might contribute to the development of cardiovascular disease. Some considerations for the future research were discussed.

analysis of the effect of Job Stress on occupational low back pain among shipyard workers using survival analysis
Annals of occupational and environmental medicine, 2005Co-Authors: Dong Hee Koh, Sang Baek Koh, Sei Jin Chang, Hyung Ryoul Kim, Sung Kyu Kang, Jong Uk Won, Jaehoon RohAbstract:3) Objectives: Occupational low back pain is a major cause of morbidity and the increases of medical and industrial costs. Efforts to control occupational low back pain have been largely unsuccessful, and further understanding of the risks including the psychological factors is needed. This retrospective study was designed to identify the effect of Job Stress on occupational low back pain among shipyard workers. Methods: The study group consisted of 976 male workers who were working at a Korean shipyard. A structured self-reported questionnaire was used to assess the participants' physical work factors, Job Stress and general characteristics. Job Stress was measured using Karasek's JCQ(Job Content Questionnaire). Occupational low back pain was identified according to the NIOSH symptom survey criteria. Physical work factors were assessed using the Quick Exposure Check. Since the work duration can affect the rela - tionship of physical work factors and Job Stress to occupational low back pain, we analyzed this associa - tion by dividing workers into two groups by work duration: 1) all workers, and 2) less than 5 years. Cox's proportional hazard model was used to elucidate the relationship of Job Stress with occupational low back pain in these two groups. Data were analysed with SAS 8.1. Results: In the all workers group, Job demand, bending or twisting of the back, and carrying heavy materials were associated with an increased the risk of occupational low back pain. In the workers with less than 5 years work experience, people with high Job demand were more likely to experience occupa - tional low back pain than those with low Job demand. Conclusions: These results suggest that Job Stress as well as physical work factors can raise the risk of occupational low back pain. Especially, in the workers with less than 5 years work duration, Job Stress played a more crucial effect on the occurrence of occupational low back pain than physical work factors did.

Job Stress social support and prevalence of insomnia in a population of japanese daytime workers
Social Science & Medicine, 2004Co-Authors: Akinori Nakata, Norito Kawakami, Takashi Haratani, Masaya Takahashi, Heihachiro Arito, Fumio Kobayashi, Shunichi ArakiAbstract:To clarify the relationship between perceived Job Stress, social support and prevalence of insomnia in Japanese daytime workers, 1161 male white-collar employees of an electric equipment manufacturing company (age, 23-60 years, mean age of 37.0) were surveyed by means of a mailed questionnaire. Perceived Job Stress was evaluated with the Japanese version of the generic NIOSH Job Stress questionnaire. Insomnia was diagnosed if workers had at least 1 of 3 types of symptoms on an almost nightly basis. The symptoms were (1) taking more than 30 min to fall asleep (Difficulty Initiating Sleep, DIS), (2) difficulty in maintaining sleep (DMS), or (3) early morning awakening (EMA). The overall prevalence of insomnia was 23.6% and the prevalences of the three subtypes were 11.3% for DIS, 14.2% for DMS, and 1.9% for EMA. Workers with high intragroup conflict (OR 1.6), high Job dissatisfaction (OR 1.5), and high symptoms of depression (OR 2.0) (CES-D > 16) had a significantly increased risk for insomnia after adjusting for multiple confounding factors. Low employment opportunities, physical environment and low coworker support also were weakly associated with risk for insomnia among workers. Furthermore, high depressive symptoms significantly increased the risk of DIS (OR 2.4). Therefore in white-collar male daytime workers, psychological Job Stress factors such as interpersonal conflicts with fellow employees, Job satisfaction, and social support were independently associated with a modestly increased risk of insomnia that included three different subtypes that were considered to be defining for the disorder.

epidemiology of Job Stress and health in japan review of current evidence and future direction
Industrial Health, 1999Co-Authors: Norito Kawakami, Takashi HarataniAbstract:With the increasing concern about Job Stress, there is a growing body of literature addressing psychosocial Job Stress and its adverse effects on health in Japan. This paper reviews research findings over the past 15 years concerning the assessment of Job Stress, the relationship of Job Stress to mental and physical health, and the effects of worksite Stress reduction activities in Japan. Although studies were conducted in the past using ad-hoc Job Stress questionnaires, well-established Job Stressor scales have since been translated into Japanese, their psychometric properties tested and these scales extensively used in recent epidemiologic studies. While the impact of overtime and quantitative Job overload on mental health seems moderate, Job control, skill use and worksite support, as well as qualitative Job demands, had greater effects on psychological diStress and drinking problems in cross-sectional and prospective studies. These Job Stressors also indicated a strong association with psychiatric disorders, including major depression, even with a prospective study design. Long working hours were associated with a higher risk of myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus and hypertension. There is evidence that the Job demands-control model, as well as the use of new technology at work, is associated with higher levels of blood pressure and serum lipids among Japanese working populations. Fibrinolytic activity, blood glucose levels, immune functions and medical consultation rates were also affected by Job Stressors. It is further suggested that Japanese workers tend to suppress expression of positive feelings, which results in apparently higher psychological diStress and lower Job satisfaction among Japanese workers compared with workers in the U.S. Future epidemiologic studies in Japan should focus more on a prospective study design, theoretical models of Job Stress, Job Stress among women, and cultural difference and well-designed intervention studies of various types of worksite Stress reduction.
