Characteristics of the work environment and work-related
stress of the participants are shown in Table 2. More than half of the
participants worked 8 hours or more per day. The proportion of
those who conversed with their supervisor and/or coworkers “a
lot” to “some” was 56.7%, whereas the proportion of workers who
felt supported by their supervisor and/or coworkers was 48.3%. In
terms of occupational stress, 379 employees (52.5%) had a high job
overload, 290 (40.2%) reported low job control, and 166 (23.1%) had
high intra-/inter-group conflict.
