Job Stress and Related Factors Among Iranian Male Staff Using a Path Analysis Model.
Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal 2016 June
BACKGROUND: In recent years, job stress has been cited as a risk factor for some diseases.
OBJECTIVES: Given the importance of this subject, we established a new model for classifying job stress among Iranian male staff using path analysis.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This cross-sectional study was done on male staff in Tehran, Iran, 2013. The participants in the study were selected using a proportional stratum sampling method. The tools used included nine questionnaires (1- HSE questionnaire; 2- GHQ questionnaire; 3- Beck depression inventory; 4- Framingham personality type; 5- Azad-Fesharaki's physical activity questionnaire; 6- Adult attachment style questionnaire; 7- Azad socioeconomic questionnaire; 8- Job satisfaction survey; and 9- demographic questionnaire).
RESULTS: A total of 575 individuals (all male) were recruited for the study. Their mean (±SD) age was 33.49 (±8.9) and their mean job experience was 12.79 (±8.98) years. The pathway of job stress among Iranian male staff showed an adequate model fit (RMSEA=0.021, GFI=0.99, AGFI=0.97, P=0.136). In addition, the total effect of variables like personality type (β=0.283), job satisfaction (β=0.287), and age (β=0.108) showed a positive relationship with job stress, while variables like general health (β=-0.151) and depression (β=-0.242) showed the reverse effect on job stress.
CONCLUSIONS: According to the results of this study, we can conclude that our suggested model is suited to explaining the pathways of stress among Iranian male staff.
