소규모 제조업 근로자의 작업능력과 직무스트레스에 관한 연구

Abstract

There have been so many studies related to the work ability or job stress in the small-sized manufacturing industry. However, study of employee performance evaluation that reflect on the industrial features of the small-sized manufacturing industry has not been established. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate workers' job stress and work ability through statistical significant tests according to age, years of service and size of company. For this, the study conducted a job stress test using the Korean Occupational Stress Questionnaire Short Form, and work ability evaluation using the Work Ability Index(WAI) of the Finnish Institute of Occupational Health(FIOH) on 203 workers in the small-sized manufacturing industry. SPSS statistics program was used for statistics analysis and significance was verified with the Kruskal-Wallis test, a corporate body of nonparametric statistical analysis. The following results were obtained: 1) Work ability and job stress had not significant differences, depending on age, years of service and size of company. 2) It was found that work ability decreased as job stress increased. 3) As compared with work ability of workers in big-sized company, employees in small-sized company have a low work ability.
