The mean differences in the degree of work-related performance were in self-efficacy, workplace, the number of full charge manpower in TB, the number of participation in in-depth education, and the willingness to job maintenance. In multiple regression analysis, factors associated with TB control manpower' work-related performance were self-efficacy (beta =.164, p=.025), workplace (beta=-.186, p=.023), the number of participation in in-depth education(beta=.339, p<.002), and the willingness to job maintenance (beta=-.157, p=.036).
