Abstract

This study is to verify the mediating effect of depression between job stress and job satisfaction among workers in small and medium sized enterprises. The survey was conducted to workers in small and medium sized enterprises, and 117 cases were finally applied. As results, job stress has significantly negative effect on job satisfaction and positive effect on depression. Depression also has partial mediating effect on between job stress and job satisfaction. We finally suggest that customized management system should be provided for the workers in small and medium-sized enterprises, and occupational welfare system, including employee assistance program (EAP), must be launched for these workers.

본 연구는 중소기업 근로자들을 대상으로 직무스트레스가 직무만족에 미치는 영향을 파악한 후, 이 둘 간의 관계에 있어 우울이 가지는 매개효과를 검증하고자 한다. 이를 위해 중소기업 종사자를 대상으로 조사를 실시하였으며 총 117개 설문이 분석에 사용되었다. 분석결과, 직무스트레스가 직무만족에 부적으로 유의미한 영향을 끼쳤고, 우울에는 정적으로 유의미한 영향을 끼쳤다. 또한 직무스트레스와 직무만족의 관계에 있어 우울이 부분매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 이에 따른 제언으로 하면 첫째, 중소기업근로자 맞춤형 관리방안의 마련되어야 하며, 둘째, 중소기업 근로자를 위한 기업복지제도의 통합적 도입이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
