Outline of Final Research Achievements

To gain basic data useful for promoting improvements in the workplace environment, we analyzed the results of a job-stress survey that N, a manufacturing business in Tomi City, Nagano, conducted on its employees.Of N’s 1,365 employees, 1,353 responded to the survey and were included in the analysis. We subjected them to a multiple logistic regression analysis to determine the stressors that correlate with stress level (high-stress case vs. normal case). We also performed a principal component analysis on the survey items concerning job-related stressors and stress responses.A multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that of all the survey items, “interpersonal relations in the workplace” (OR = 9.58) and “depression” (OR = 54.90) had the strongest correlation with the stress level. A scatterplot based on the results of a principal component analysis revealed the worksite and team-specific patterns of two principal components.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

ストレス特性に基づいて全部課別を類型化できることは、事業所でストレス改善のための
支援事業を展開する上で支援対象部課の選定、支援内容の検討といった支援事業の方向性を考慮する上で活用できる貴重な情報であると考えられる。
また、管理監督者が社員と共同で職場環境改善、事業場の心の健康づくり支援を検討する際に各部課間のストレス状況を客観的に評価し、取り組みを進める上で寄与できる参考資料として期待される。
