Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between work-related characteristics and job stressors and the factors influencing musculoskeletal symptoms of the warehouse employees. Methods: The research was a cross-sectional, descriptive study. Data were collected from 319 warehouse employees who agreed to participate in the study by using self-report questionnaires. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, $x^2-test$, and logistic regression analysis (SPSS 18.0). Results: The overall prevalence of musculoskeletal symptoms was 37.6%. The logistic regression analysis revealed a posture that renders fatigue or pain, repetitive work, and a higher total score of job stressors as the risk factors for musculoskeletal symptoms in many body parts. Conclusion: Employers should plan to educate employees who work in warehouses about the correct working posture to prevent musculoskeletal diseases, stop repetitive work, and manage job stressors.

The present study is designed to develop surveying tools to measure stressors of and social supports for Radiological Technologists which may play a role to alleviate their stresses caused from their job environments. For this purpose, an analysis of reliability by factors of personal stressors was conducted on 890 radiologists who are working at 44 general hospitals in 16 cities and provinces across the country. The results of the analysis may be summed up as follows: Six factors in 2 concerned fields turned out to be major tools for use as items of questionnaires to measure social supports for and organizational culture of Radiological Technologists. The factors determined to be applicable for survey with reliability coefficient of more than 0.7 measured by factors for internal coherence included social supports on the job(0.90), off-the-job social supports(0.81), job satisfaction(0.80), devotion for job by length of service(0.81) and emotional devotion for job(0.80), all deemed to be appropriate as survey items. In the verifying process of the results, it was found that normative devotion for job(0.61) showed lower reliability as its statistical coefficient was analyzed to be less than 0.7. It seemed, therefore, necessary to reconstruct items or re-select such ones only that can maintain internal coherence in order to analyze appropriateness of related measuring tools, or to develop new measuring tools. Although the outcomes of this study can be used to verify reliability and appropriateness of concerned concepts to assess stresses caused during the job performance of Radiological Technologists, it may be improper to adopt them to measure all types of social supports and stresses that occur generally under the job environment. It is desired, however, to compare and analyze the findings of the present study with others and to utilize them as basic data for further development of tools that can maintain internal coherence in terms of reliability and appropriateness in spite of changing social environments.

목적: 울산지역 안경사들의 직무스트레스 요인을 측정하고, 해당 요인의 부하와 관계된 영향요소가 무엇인지를 평가하고자 한다. 방법: 울산 지역에 근무하는 안경사 180명을 대상으로 하였다. 조사대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 직무스트레스를 한국산업안전보건공단이 '직무스트레스요인 측정지침(KOSHA code H-42-2006)'으로 제시한 한국형 직무스트레스 요인 측정 도구(이하 측정도구)를 사용하여 조사하였다. 결과: 직무스트레스 요인 평가 결과 평가 점수의 성별 중위수 값을 한국 근로자 참고값과 비교해 볼 때 8개의 스트레스 요인들 중 남, 여 모두 관계갈등(참고값; 남, 여 33.4, 측정값; 남성 38.3, 여성 41.5)과 직장문화(참고값; 남, 여 41.7, 측정값; 남성 47.4, 여성 49.3)에서 한국 근로자 참고 값 평균보다 높은 스트레스 부하를 나타내었다. 다중회귀분석 결과 관계갈등에서는 직책이 낮고, 근무시간이 길수록, 미혼인 경우, 평균 급여가 작을수록 관계갈등에 대한 스트레스 부하가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 직장문화에서는 최종학력이 낮을수록, 휴무일수가 적을수록, 근무경력이 많을수록, 평균 급여가 적을수록, 근무시간이 많을수록 직장문화에 대한 스트레스 부하가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 결론: 이상의 결과들을 살펴볼 때 안경사의 주요한 직무스트레스 요인인 관계갈등과 직장문화 영역의 스트레스 요인에 대한 관리를 위해서는 안경사의 처우개선과 직장내에서 상호 수평적인 의사소통 체제를 통하여 긍정적인 조직문화를 형성하는 것이 중요한 요소라 하겠다.

Background: Law enforcement communications (i.e., 911 dispatch and call takers) is a challenging and stressful occupation. The purpose of this study is to identify the main stressors associated with employment in law enforcement communications, and to identify and provide context to how these stressors affect workers' health and wellbeing. Methods: This research study included focus groups with 23 call takers and 911 dispatchers employed by a large, urban law enforcement agency in 2018. Thematic analyses were conducted to identify trends. Results: Four themes of stressors emerged (i.e., the high stakes nature of some 911 calls for service, understaffing, supervisor-related stress, and recruiting practice). Two health-related themes emerged as being occupation-related: weight gain and poor sleep patterns/insufficient sleep). Specifically, participants reported negative eating habits resulting in weight gain and obesity, lack of sleep and irregular sleep schedules, and development of hypertension and/or diabetes since beginning their jobs. Conclusion: Law enforcement communications professionals experience a number of the same stressors facing law enforcement officers in patrol. These stressors, combined with the sedentary nature of the job, could result in long-term, chronic health problems.

The survey was using Korean Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS) questionnaire and was administered to 8,080 workers of large shipyard company. As a result of the survey, compared with the median score of Korean workers, job stress level of shipyard company workers was low. However, seven categories of KOSS, except for job demand showed higher stress levels of blue-collar workers than white-collar workers. The overall stress level of shipyard company workers is low, however, it is important to find stressors by considering the type of work, working period etc., through a detailed analysis of KOSS 8-categories. The results of this study may be helpful to identify the level of stress and to establish preventive measures in Shipyard Company.
