This study aimed to investigate the association of support from colleagues and supervisors at the workplace on depressive and anxiety symptoms in wage earners from Korea. The data used in this study were from the fifth Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) conducted in 2017 and analyzed using a multivariate logistic regression model. Furthermore, we measured the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of depressive and anxiety symptoms by stratifying covariates. The ORs of depressive and anxiety symptoms for the "non-support" group were higher than for the "support group" in terms of support from both colleagues and supervisors. The results of the stratified analysis of covariates, male, young, highly-educated, full-time, and white-collar groups were associated with the lack of support. Support from colleagues and supervisors was significantly associated with the Korean wage worker's mental health-depressive and anxiety symptoms, respectively. Further longitudinal and clinical studies on the relationship between mental health and support at the workplace are required.
本研究旨在探讨韩国工薪族在职场中获得同事和上级支持与抑郁和焦虑症状之间的关系。本研究使用的数据来自于 2017 年进行的第五次韩国工作条件调查（KWCS），并使用多变量逻辑回归模型进行了分析。此外，我们还通过分层协变量测量了抑郁和焦虑症状的比值比（OR）和 95%置信区间（CI）。在同事和上级支持方面，“非支持”组的抑郁和焦虑症状的 OR 均高于“支持”组。协变量分层分析的结果表明，男性、年轻、高学历、全职和白领群体与缺乏支持有关。同事和上级的支持与韩国工薪族的心理健康——抑郁和焦虑症状显著相关。需要进一步进行关于心理健康和工作场所支持之间关系的纵向和临床研究。
