The employees in information system organization are highly exposed to stress. However, there is little theoretical or empirical study on the effects of job stress on IS organizations. A major reason is because few researchers consider consequences of job stress. The major purpose of this study is to verify negative effects of job stress for IS organization. This study have three purposes : to investigate the relationship between job stressors and perceived job stress; to understand the effect of perceived job stress and job attitude - job satisfaction, job involvement; to examine the role of moderators such as social support and personality in the relationship between job stressors and perceived job stress in information system organizations. The results of this study suggest that job stressors such as role overload and role ambiguity are significantly related to perceived job stress, the higher the perceived job stress is the lower the job attitudes such as job satisfaction and job involvement, and the employees' personality has moderating effects between the job stressor and perceived job stress.

The results indicated: firstly, the British child care teachers are much satisfied with their job and have the low level of job stress. Secondly, their job satisfaction depends on who runs the child care facilities, what position they have in the centers, how long they work for child care, what qualifications they have.

그동안 공무원의 스트레스 요인과 직무만족에 대한 연구는 대부분이 역할 관계와 인간 관계에 따른 스트레스 증가로 인한 직무만족의 저하에 대한 연구가 대부분을 이루고 있었다. 그러나 소방공무원의 경우, 직무상 위험성, 긴급성, 대기성, 교대성의 특징을 지니고 있기 때문에 직무 특성에 따른 스트레스가 다소 발생할 것으로 사료된다. 따라서 본 연구는 소방공무원의 스트레스 요인을 직무특성(위험성, 긴급성, 대기성, 교대성)요인과 조직내역할(역할갈등, 역할모호, 역할과다)요인으로 구분하여 각각 직무만족에 어떠한 영향력을 미치는지를 실증 분석 하였다. 결과적으로 소방공무원의 직무특성 요인과 조직내역할 요인은 직무만족에 유의미한 영향력을 미치고 있었고, 구체적으로 직무특성 요인 중에서는 긴급성과 대기성이 직무만족에 정(+)의 영향력을 미치고 있었고, 조직내역할 요인 중에서는 역할 갈등과 역할 과다가 직무만족에 부(-)의 영향력을 미치고 있는 것으로 결과가 나타났다. 또한 업무형태(화재 진압, 구조 구급, 소방 행정, 기타)에 따라 스트레스 요인 및 직무만족에 유의미한 차이를 보이고 있었고, 근무기간(소방본부, 소방서, 119안전센터)에 따라서도 스트레스 요인 및 직무만족에 유의미한 차이를 보이고 있었다.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of job characteristics on smoking, and the mediating effects of job stress between job characteristics and smoking among elderly workers. Methods: This study employed data from the Korean Longitudinal Study of Ageing, and a total of 778 older workers were used for analysis. Current smoking status, job stress, job characteristics including physical job demands, job demands related to contents, working days, regularity of working hour, satisfaction with income, and sociodemographic factors were analyzed. Descriptive analysis, t-tests, chi-square test, multiple linear regression, and logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: Results showed that physical job demands and regularity of working hours were significant predictors of smoking of elderly workers. The higher level of physical job demands and regular working-hour increased the risk of smoking. Also, physical job demands, job demands related job contents, and income satisfaction directly impacted on job stress. However, job stress did not mediate the relationship between job characteristics and smoking. Conclusions: The findings suggest that smoking interventions for older workers should take into account job characteristics. Implications for practice and future study directions are discussed.

Today, businesses are under rapidly changing environments that are characterized as stopless competition and uncertainty. Under this circumstance, workers are exposed to much stress that is induced by factors such as lots of job burden, responsibility, role conflicts, role ambiguity, interpersonal conflicts, pressure related to job performance and lots of job-related requests. Unlike workers of other industries, those of distribution business may be more exposed to stress because they serve in unique work conditions. Therefore, distribution workers have an accumulate fatigue of their own, suffering from health problems that are stress-induced. Distribution businesses should positively try to identify factors that fall their workers into stress, making those workers less stressful and preventing their negative job performance. Efforts to reduce workers' stress can not only improve their physical and mental health, but also raise business competitiveness. Thus the purpose of this study is to investigate how much distribution workers' job role, interpersonal relations and job environment are influential to their job stress and thereon determine relations between job stress and job performance.

Purpose: School foodservice employees (SFEs) could be exposed to the risk of musculoskeletal disease and of job stress due to their job characteristics. This study was to evaluate the level of job stress and the prevalence of work-related musculoskeletal symptoms (WRMS) in Seoul city's SFEs, and to determine associations between job stress and WRMS. Methods: The study design was cross-sectional, and 975 SFEs were recruited. Self-administered questionnaire included the 'Korean occupational stress scale-short form' and the 'KOSHA GUIDE H-9-2012' instrument to evaluate the job stress and WRMS, respectively. SFEs' medians of job stress were compared to the reference values of published study in Korean workers. Results: The participants reported greater levels of job demand and physical environment than the general Korean population. WRMS were reported in 89.0% of participants at any body part, and 41.1% were presumed to need for medical intervention. High levels of job demand and of physical environment were significantly associated with WRMS. Conclusion: Subscales of job demand and physical environment were relatively high in SFEs and those were related to the occurrence of WRMS. To reduce the WRMS prevalence, a job stress management program focused on job demand and physical environment may be required.

본 연구는 공무원들의 스트레스나 피로수준과 같은 사회심리적 건강상태가 그들의 직급, 근무경력 등의 직업관련 특성이나 업무요구도, 업무자율성, 직장 내에서의 사회적 지지와 같은 직무스트레스 내용에 의해 영향을 받고 있는지를 구조방정식모형을 통하여 검토하고자 시도하였다. 연구대상은 대전광역시의 5개 정부 공공기관에 근무하는 일반 사무직 행정공무원 805명이었으며, 자료 수집은 2009년 10월 1일부터 11월 30일까지의 기간 동안에 표준화된 자기기입식 설문지(self-administered questionnaire)를 사용하여 실시하였다. 연구결과, 공무원들의 스트레스 및 피로수준은 직급, 근무경력, 업무만족도, 업무자율성, 상사의 지지도 및 동료의 지지도와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 나타낸 반면, 년 간 결근일수, 업무요구도와는 유의한 양의 상관관계를 나타내었다. 구조방정식모형 분석 결과 연구대상자들의 직무스트레스 요인은 직업관련 특성 요인보다 사회심리적 건강상태에 더 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 직무스트레스가 높을수록 사회심리적 건강상태를 나타내는 스트레스와 피로수준을 높여주는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 직업관련 특성의 인지정도가 높을수록 직무스트레스 요인을 감소시키는 효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 공무원들의 스트레스나 피로를 감소시키기기 위해서는 직업관련 특성에 따른 직무내용의 개선을 위한 프로그램의 개발 및 시행이 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

A number of recent studies have shown that occupational stress is closely associated with increased fatigue and decreased job satisfaction. This study was designed to assess stress in workers in the field of EIA (environment impact assessment) from July 2009 through september 2009, and questionnaires were uesd to analyze the stress scores and identify the primary factors influencing stress in this occupation. The number of respondents was 272 working in the Capital (Seoul and Kyunggido), Chungcheongdo, Jejudo area. A structured questionnaire was used to evaluate the participants' socio-demographics, job-related factors, health-related behaviors, occupational stress, reaction factor (self-perceived fatigue, job satisfaction) and buffer factor (social support). Occupational stress and self-perceived fatigue were assessed using the Korean Occupational Stress Scale-Short Form (KOSS-SF) and the Multidimensional Fatigue Scale (MFS), respectively. The analysis revealed a strong correlation between occupational stress, job satisfaction, and social support, with occupational stress being associated with an increased risk of fatigue and decreased job satisfaction. In the multiple regression analysis(stepwise), the main factors influencing occupational stress were found to be job satisfaction, supervisor, fatigue, working time, no. of personnel, career. The results of this study suggest that occupational stress is a determinant predictor of self perceived fatigue and job satisfaction. Thus, a strong recommendation is made for a stress management program for reduction of occupational stress, and for the development of relevant experts on the health and quality of life of environment impact assessment workers.
