Abstract

This study investigated the effects of overtime work on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of Korean blue-collar workers. This cross-sectional study collected data on 229 Korean blue-collar workers in six small-sized companies from October to November 2015. The data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression analysis to estimate the effect of overtime work while considering convergence variables. In the hierarchical regression model, when overtime work variable was included in the model, $R^2$ change was statistically significant. The significant predictors for HRQoL were overtime work (${\beta}=.152$, p=.025), depression (${\beta}=-.192$, p=.003) and night shift work (${\beta}=-.201$, p=.032). The results of this study provide a basic data for establishing optimal working hours standards for improving the quality of life of Korean blue-collar workers.

본 연구의 목적은 한국의 소규모 산업장에 근무하는 생산직 근로자의 초과근무가 건강관련 삶의 질에 미치는 영향을 분석하기 위함이다. 본 서술적 조사연구는 2015년 10월부터 11월까지 6개의 소규모 사업장에서 근무하는 생산직 근로자 229명을 대상으로 하였다. 융합적 관점으로 다양한 변수들의 영향을 고려한 상태에서 생산직 근로자의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 초과근무의 영향을 파악하기 위하여 위계적 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 초과근무를 투입하였을 때 설명력 변화가 유의하게 증가하였으며, 생산직 근로자의 건강관련 삶의 질에 영향을 미치는 요인은 초과근무(${\beta}=.152$, p=.025), 우울(${\beta}=-.192$, p=.003), 야간근무(${\beta}=-.201$, p=.032)였다. 본 연구 결과는 향후 한국의 생산직 근로자의 건강관련 삶의 질을 높이기 위한 최적 근로시간 기준을 마련하는데 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이다.
