본 연구는 제조업 남성 근로자들의 직무스트레스와 피로와의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 검토하는 것을 목적으로 수행하였다. 대상: 조사대상은 제조업 공장에 근무하는 남성 근로자 352명이었다. 방법: 자료 수집은 2020년 4월 1일부터 5월 31일까지의 기간 동안에 구조화된 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 설문조사에 의하였다. 수집된 자료는 SPSS 23.0 통계프로그램을 사용하여 상관분석, 위계적 회귀분석 및 Sobel test로 분석하였다. 결과: 연구결과, 조사대상자의 피로증상은 업무요구도와 유의한 양의 상관관계를 보인 반면, 업무의 자율성, 상자의 지지 및 동료의 지지와는 유의한 음의 상관관계를 보였다. 직무스트레스와 피로와의 관계에서 사회적 지지의 매개효과를 검증한 결과, 직무스트레스가 높을수록 사회적 지지는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났으며(F=63.93, p<0.01), 피로수준은 높아지는 것으로 나타났다(F=58.64, p<0.01). 직무스트레스를 통제한 상태에서 사회적지지가 피로에 미치는 영향 또한 통계적으로 유의하였으며(F=43.83, p<0.01), 이 때 직무스트레스의 β값이 0.352로 매개변수를 거치지 않았을 때의 β값인 0.545보다 작아 사회적지지가 매개효과를 가지는 것으로 나타났다. Sobel test 결과에서 사회적 지지는 직무스트레스와 피로의 관계에서 부분적 매개역할을 하였다(Z=-4.15, p<0.01). 결론: 위와 같은 결과는 직장에서의 사회적 지지는 근로자의 피로와 관련 있는 직무스트레스를 완화시키는 매개효과가 있을 가능성을 시사한다.

The purpose of this study was to compare the exposure levels to emotional labor, occupational and socio-psychological stress, and fatigue for workers engaged in the fields of beauty business (make-up, skin, nail, and hair). For this purpose, a survey was carried out and a statistical analysis was performed for 813 persons As a result, emotional labor was found to be linked with 3 factors of emotional control, emotional dissonance, and positive emotional expression. The exposure level of emotional control was found to be high in the area of hair care and that of positive emotional expression was high in the area of nail care. Based on evaluation of Occupational Stress Scale(KOSS), the stress were found to be highest among workers engaged in the field of make-up and lowest among those in the field of nail. The exposure level of psychosocial stress was found to be the highest in the area of make-up and the lowest in the area of nail care. The exposure level of fatigue was found to be the highest in the area of make-up and the lowest in the area of nail care, showing a difference in the exposure level of stress by area of beauty business. The study confirmed that there is a difference in the exposure level related to emotional labor, job stress, psychosocial stress, and fatigue by area of beauty business.

This study attempted to evaluate the direct and indirect effect of emotional labor, job and psychosocial stress, and fatigue of beauty industry workers on their musculoskeletal diseases. The findings of this study showed that, among the workers with perceived symptoms of musculoskeletal diseases, the body part with the most commonly occurring symptom was the shoulder, followed by neck, low back, wrist, arm, foot and knee. As for the effect of work-related psychological factors on musculoskeletal diseases, it was found that the workers with musculoskeletal diseases were more affected by emotional labor and fatigue than non-symptom workers. It was also shown that when their job stress increased, the fatigue level also increased, though their psychosocial stress decreased. In addition, it was found that both direct and indirect effects of emotional labor on fatigue were high, and the indirect effect of job stress through fatigue on musculoskeletal diseases was significant.
