This cross-sectional multilevel study aimed to investigate the relationship between improvement of the work environment and work-related stress in a nationally representative sample in Japan.
The study was based on a national survey that randomly sampled 1745 worksites and 17,500 nested employees. The survey asked the worksites whether improvements of the work environment were conducted; and it asked the employees to report the number of work-related stresses they experienced. Multilevel multinominal logistic and linear regression analyses were conducted.
Improvement of the work environment was not significantly associated with any level of work-related stress. Among men, it was significantly and negatively associated with the severe level of work-related stress. The association was not significant among women.
Improvements to work environments may be associated with reduced work-related stress among men nationwide in Japan.
这项横断面多层次研究旨在调查日本全国代表性样本中工作环境改善与工作相关压力之间的关系。
该研究基于一项全国性调查,随机抽取了1745个工作场所和17500名嵌套员工。调查询问工作场所是否进行了工作环境改善;并要求员工报告他们经历的工作相关压力的数量。进行了多层次多项逻辑回归和线性回归分析。
工作环境的改善与任何水平的工作相关压力均无显著关联。在男性中,它与严重程度的工作相关压力显著负相关。在女性中,这种关联不显著。
工作环境的改善可能与日本全国男性工作相关压力的减轻有关。
