ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the influencing factors that cause occupational stress among female workers in a large electronic manufacturing enterprise. METHODS: A total of 1 081 female workers from a large electronic manufacturing enterprise were selected by the cluster random sampling method. The Chinese version of Job Content Questionnaire and Effort Reward Imbalance Questionnaire were used to assess occupational stress and its influencing factors were analyzed.RESULTS: Among 1 081 female workers,70. 95% and 19. 43% of them showed high level of occupational stress of job demand-control( JDC) model and effort-reward imbalance( ERI) model,respectively. Educational level with senior high school and above,assembly line working and exposure to occupational hazards were risk factors for high occupational stress of JDC model in female workers( P < 0. 01). The risk of high occupational stress ERI model in female workers with junior high school educational level and below was higher than that of senior high school educational level and above( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: The occupational stress rate of female workers in this electronic manufacturing enterprise is high. The main occupational stress model is JDC model. The main influencing factors of JDC model are educational level,operation mode and status of occupational hazard exposure.
