| Popis: | 95 This study explores the correlation of work stress, stress coping, organization empowerment, and degree of depression among high-tech industry employees. A sample of high-tech industry employees were targeted with the purposes of: (1) understanding the status quo of level of depression; (2) investigating the correlation of demographic data, work characteristics, work stress, stress coping, organization empowerment, and level of depression; and (3) explaining the important estimated factors of depression. This is a cross-sectional and correlational study. A convenience sample of 290 subjects who had worked in research and development departments for more than 3 months were sampled for self-administration from one electronic company and one semiconductor company in Nan Tze Export Processing Zone, and one electronic company in Kaohsiung Export Processing Zone. The structured questionnaires included a Work Stress Scale, Stress Coping Scale, Organization Empowerment Scale, and Depression Scale (Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, CES-D) 。The collected data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t–test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s product moment correlation, stepwise multiple regression analysis and hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results of this study showed that: (1) there were 156 subjects who were normal (53.8 %), 61 had mild depression (21 %), 60 had moderate depression (20.7%), and 13 had major depression (4.5%); (2) subjects who were younger, single, had no children, no administrative duties, but with longer working hours per week tended to have higher levels of depression; (3) subjects who had greater work stress, used stress-coping strategies less frequently and had less organizational empowerment tended to have higher levels of depression; (4) organizational empowerment, actual working hours per week, work stress, and coping with stress were all important factors of depression, and explained 48.7% of the total amount of variance. The results of this study can provide occupational health nursing staff with references for health promotion-related activities, and mental health and counseling models. The study may also serve as a reference for future intervention programs in the field. |
