In this study, we examined whether the associations between working hours, job satisfaction, and work-life balance are mediated by occupational stress. In addition, we tested whether perceived time control helps moderate the effects of working hours and occupational stress.
Questionnaires were administered to 369 respondents working in the high-tech and banking industries. Analyses were then conducted on the data.
The analysis revealed significant correlations between long working hours and both occupational stress and work-life balance, as well as between occupational stress and both work-life balance and job satisfaction. In addition, the relationship between working hours and occupational stress exhibited a significantly positive interaction with perceived time control.
The results indicate the importance of giving workers greater control over working hours. We therefore recommend that labor laws should be revised as necessary to prevent excessive working hours and enhance work-time flexibility.
本研究旨在探讨工作时间、工作满意度和工作生活平衡之间的关系是否受到职业压力的影响。此外，我们还测试了感知时间控制是否有助于调节工作时间和职业压力的影响。
我们向从事高科技和银行业的 369 名受访者发放了问卷，并对数据进行了分析。
分析结果表明，工作时间与职业压力和工作生活平衡之间存在显著相关性，职业压力与工作生活平衡和工作满意度之间也存在显著相关性。此外，工作时间与职业压力之间的关系与感知时间控制之间存在显著的正交互作用。
研究结果表明，给予员工更多的工作时间控制非常重要。因此，我们建议有必要修订劳动法，以防止工作时间过长和增强工作时间的灵活性。
