The purpose of this study was to examine the job stress and job stressors of dental hygienists. The subjects in the study were 220 dental hygienists who worked in north Jeolla province. After a mail survey was conducted from July 24 through September 24, 2006, the responses from 180 dental hygienists(response rate 81.8%) were gathered, and 156 answer sheets were analyzed except 24 incomplete ones that couldn't be analyzable. The findings of the study were as follows: 1. As for the correlation of overall job stress to turnover intention, their entire stress was under the influence of unreasonable treatment (r = 0.382), conflicts as a professional(r = 0.285), tough working environments(r = 0.303), conflicts with colleagues(r = 0.233), and heavy workload (r = 0.262). Those who were more stressed were more willing to change their occupation, and their stress level made a statistically significant difference to that(p < 0.01). 2. A multiple regression analysis was carried out by selecting the job stressors and turnover intention as independent and dependent variables respectively to see how each of the stressors affected job stress. And unreasonable treatment(p < 0.001) was identified as what had the biggest impact on that, followed by conflicts as a professional(p < 0.05), and tough working environments (p < 0.05). The stressors made a 22.2% prediction of turnover intention.

세계적으로 선박 교통량 증가와 함께 선박 사고 원인의 90% 이상을 차지하는 인적요인에 대한 심층적인 연구의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 해상교통관제 업무는 고도의 주의와 예측능력을 요구하며 이를 저해하는 인적요인 분석 및 관리 필요성이 절실한 분야이다. 특히 관제업무는 교대근무 등의 불규칙한 근무형태로 인해 발생되는 피로와 업무 집중력 저하, 스트레스가 많은 업무이다. 무엇보다 관제 업무는 해상안전에 핵심적인 역할을 하는데, 관제사의 피로와 스트레스로 인한 업무 차질은 자칫 안전사고로까지 이어질 수 있는 위험이 존재한다. 이렇듯 인적요인이 중요한 영역임에도 불구하고 관제사들의 체계적인 스트레스 관리에 대한 방안은 미비한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 직무스트레스 유발요인, 유발결과 및 설문조사를 통하여 관제사들의 직무스트레스 현 실태를 파악하고자 한다. 그리고 연구결과를 바탕으로 관제사의 피로, 스트레스를 관리하기 위한 방안과 더 나아가 효율적인 인적요인 안전관리 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

본 연구는 전산직과 비전산직 종사자의 인터넷 중독 정도가 직무스트레스 및 우울감에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자, 2009년 10월 25일부터 12월 9일까지 서울 및 대전에 소재한 2개의 공공기관 건물내 근무하고 종사자 500명을 대상으로 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 일반적 특성, 직무스트레스, 우울감 정도, 일상적인 인터넷 이용, 인터넷 중독 자가진단을 조사하였다. 주요 결과는 첫째, 일반적 특성에 따른 직무스트레스 요인별 분류에서는 개인 관련요인이 낮은 연령과 미혼인 경우, 아파트 외 기타에서 거주하는 경우 높게 나타났고, 조직 외 요인의 직무스트레스에서는 전산직에 비해 비전산직이 통계적으로 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 둘째, 인터넷 중독에 따른 직무스트레스에서는 직무 관련요인, 개인 관련요인, 조직 외 요인 모두 일반 사용자보다 잠재적 위험사용자가 높게 나타났다(p<0.05). 셋째, 우울감 정도에 따른 직무스트레스에서는 우울감 정도가 정상인 경우에 비해 경미함 및 중증도의 경우가 직무 관련요인, 개인 관련요인, 조직 외 요인 모두 높은 직무스트레스를 나타냈다(p<0.05). 넷째, 직무스트레스와 우울감을 종속변수로 한 다중회귀분석 결과를 보면 직무스트레스는 결혼여부, 가족구성원 수, 인터넷 중독이 유의한 변수였고, 25.6%의 설명력을 나타냈다. 우울감은 결혼여부와 인터넷 중독이 유의한 변수였고, 26.4%의 설명력을 나타냈다. 전산직 및 비전산직의 인터넷 중독과 직무스트레스 및 우울감은 관련성이 있는 것으로 나타났고, 인터넷 중독이 심할수록 직무스트레스가 높았으며, 우울감 정도가 심할수록 역시 직무스트레스가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

효과적인 조직운영을 위한 직무스트레스의 관리는 무엇보다 조직구성원이 지각하고 있는 직무스트레스 유발요인이 무엇인지를 파악하고, 직무로 발생하는 스트레스의 역기능을 최소화하거나 스트레스 요인을 제거함으로써 조직 효과성을 제고시킬 수 있는 연구가 필요하다. 연구의 결과 소방공무원의 직무스트레스에 대해 영향요인은 심리적 환경이 가장 영향력 있는 변수이며, 그 다음으로는 작업환경, 조직문화, 신체적 환경 순으로 나타났으며 행정업무와 인간관계는 통계적으로 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of this study is to examine how Analysis on the Causal Model with individual factor, family factor, family stress and elder abuse to face aged society that has been increasing elder abuse. This study selected 114 elder people who live in rural area. The data were analyzed with SPSS and SEM(Structural Equation Model) by the AMOS 5.0 Program. The result of the study are as follows: First, elder abuse has positive correlations with family stress, and negative correlations with individual and family factor. It indicates that individual and family factor had significant relationship with family stress and elder abuse. Second, according SEM which focused on relationship with factors of this study, family factor was not influenced with family stress but family stress had an effect with elder abused. Therefore, considering individual factor of elder and alternatives of reducing family stress should be needed for the prevention of elder abuse.

This practical study investigates the effects of job satisfaction as a result of the stresses felt by many dispatchers who work in the subway industry in the Seoul metropolitan area. Factors that cause stress are assessed. The organization system, inappropriate compensation, workplace culture, and job requirements, among several types of organizational stresses are significantly related to job satisfaction. The results of the analysis indicate that there is a close link between job satisfaction and dispatcher communication factors. This paper suggests stress-relief measures for dispatchers who must handle a variety of civil complaints and improper communications with field departments based on the analysis of the answers to descriptive questionnaire items.

Most of previous studies on civil servants' stress factors and job satisfaction have been focused on low job satisfaction caused by stress from role relations and human relations. In case of fire officers, however, their stress is expected to be influenced by their unique job characteristics such as risk, urgency, stand-by, and shift. Thus, this study divided fire officers'stress factors into job-related factors (risk, urgency, stand-by, alternation) and role-related factors (role conflict, role ambiguity, role overload), and empirically analyzed how these factors affect their job satisfaction. According to the results of this study, fire officers' job characteristics and their roles in the organization had a significant effect on their job satisfaction. Particularly, among the job-related factors, urgency and stand-by had a positive effect on job satisfaction, and among role-related factors, role conflict and role overload had a negative effect on job satisfaction. In addition, fire officers' stress and job satisfaction were significantly different according to their job (fire fighting, rescue and first aid, fire administration, others), and according to their workplace (fire fighting headquarters, fire station, 119 safety center).

The prior studies have well established the factors of correctional staff's stress at work. However, it is not clearly identified gender-specific factors influencing female correctional officers' level of stress. Thus, this study aims to examine factors particularly influencing female correctional officers' stress, such as child-rearing and work conflict, overwork bounden, and strains from male-oriented organizational culture. This current data utilized a set of survey data drawn from female correctional officers from 124 prisons located in different regions in this nation. Finally, a total of 172 female correctional officers's survey data was used for the analysis. A set of multivariate analyses reveal that security staff role, satisfaction for life, positive perception toward correctional officers' leadership in prison decreased the risk of stress among female correctional officers. Regarding work-job conflicts variables, child-rearing and work conflict and strains from male-oriented organizational culture were significantly associated with female correctional officers' stress. Yet, the direction of the two variables were different. For female officers, child-rearing and work conflict was not a risk factor for stress in that i decreased the level of stress. But the variable of strains from male-oriented organizational culture was a risk factor for female officers' stress level. Further suggestions for the future studies, discussion on contributions of the current study and policy implications were discussed in the last part of this article.

The purpose of this study is to explore the factors related to high school students 'academic stress. This study uses data from KEDI's(KELS 2013 6th). The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and hierarchical analysis using the SPSS Statistics program. The results of the study are as follows. First, personal factors, social support factors, and family-related factors showed statistically significant correlation with academic stress. Second, personal factors, family-related factors, and social support factors were all found to have statistically significant effects on high school students' academic stress. After controlling the personal factors and family-related factors, the social support factors further explain the academic stress of high school students by two percent, and the most influential variable among social support factors was the relationship with their parents.
