Abstract
OBJECTIVE
This study was conducted to determine the effects of workers' current problems to the perceived stress and work performance among manufacturing industry workers in Korea.
METHODS
Responses to structured survey questionnaires were received from 556 workers at 7 medium-sized manufacturing factories in Gyeongsang Province.
RESULTS
Among the 556 responders, health problems, job stress, and life stress showed significant effect on their perceived stress. Job stress showed significant effect on workers' lateness and early leaving, and culture & leisure problems on absenteeism. Health problems and job stress took negative effects on their job concentration difficulty. The severity of these problems were related with the desired length of retention.
CONCLUSION
We proved the effect of workers' current problems to their performance. The study results will be helpful to clarify what EAP services should be considered to solve these problems at a certain organization.
