ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We focused on the relationship between symptoms of depression and emotional labor to investigate the mental health status of workers.METHODS:
In this cross-sectional study, a total of 2,346 workers among bankers were our study subjects. A self-administered questionnaire was used to assess the socio-demographics, job characteristics, emotional labor and, the Center for Epidemiologic Studies-Depression scale (CES-D). We used multiple logistic regression analysis to estimate the relationship between emotional labor and the symptoms of depression.RESULTS:
The prevalence of symptoms of depression among the survey subjects was 20.6%. After adjusting for confounding factors, emotional effort (OR 1.7, 95% CI=1.28~2.31) and, emotional disharmony (OR 4.5, 95% CI=3.13~6.44) in men and emotional effort (OR 1.9, 95% CI=1.33~2.75), emotional disharmony (OR 6.1, 95% CI=4.12~9.09) in women showed a statistically significant association with symptoms of depression.CONCLUSIONS:
These results suggest that emotional disharmony and emotional effort are related to symptoms of depression. Managing emotional disharmony is important in managing symptoms of depression.
