“…This difference may be due to the higher proportion of highly educated subjects and the inclusion of more white-collar workers in this study than in previous studies. This difference is consistent with previous studies [36,37] in which white-collar workers reported significantly higher job demand stress and less interpersonal conflict stress than blue-collar workers. Blue-collar employees experience more behavioral stress, such as conflict with their supervisors, while white-collar employees experience more cognitive stress, such as excessive workload or high responsibility.…”

We developed and evaluated an interpersonal model of depression in employees, where passion and perseverance affect occupational stress and perceived control, which in turn affect risk of depression. The participants were employees of 18 private companies and local government organizations in Korea aged 19 to 65 years. A total of 11,422 participants completed questionnaires including the Korean version of the Grit scale, the occupational stress scale, the perceived control subscale in the perceived stress scale, and the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale. Mediation analysis was performed to determine relationships among trait-level passion and perseverance, work-related stress, perceived control, and depression. Passion and perseverance preceded depression in employees. Higher occupational stress and lower perceived control mediated the association between passion and depression, and between perseverance and depression. Passion and perseverance exert preventive effects on depression by decreasing workplace stress and elevating perceived control. Future studies should investigate the effects of psychological characteristics on the development of depression in employees.

“…Based on previous studies, which identified age as a risk factor for CVD, the mean age of the participants is high because the present study targeted workers with moderate to high CVD risk based on the Periodic Health Examination at workplaces. Generally, employees of small-to-medium sized businesses tend to be older than those of large-scale businesses, and blue-collar workers tend to be older than office workers [17]. Therefore, considering the general attributes of workers in small-to-medium workplaces, who are on average older than those working in medium-to-large sized workplaces and office workers, public health professionals should recognize that workers in small-to-medium sized workplaces are at a high risk of CVD, which requires timely attention and risk management.…”

This study developed and evaluated a health management program based on the participant-centered concept of action research to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors among blue collar workers. Data from structured questionnaires completed by 32 workers in a small-to-medium sized workplace from September 2015 to October 2016 as well as participants’ anthropometrical (weight and waist) and biological (blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol) data were analyzed using paired t-test and Fisher’s exact test. To examine the longitudinal effect of the intervention, survival analysis and linear mixed model (LMM) were used. There was an improvement in participants’ self-regulation in maintaining health-promoting behaviors, body weight, blood pressure, and HDL cholesterol following the intervention. Furthermore, the effects of the health management program continued even after the program ended. These findings suggest that the health management program developed in this study could be effective in reducing CVD risk factors among workers in small-to-medium sized workplaces and should be applied to other small-to-medium sized workplaces to foster health-promoting behaviors.

“…Through a survey of shipbuilders, Jeong et al found that self-reported psychological characteristics is an important factor in predicting unsafe behaviors leading to industrial accidents [23]. Individual states, such as attitudes, consciousness, and emotions, will affect the individual's perception and evaluation of their environment.…”

Background: To effectively avoid accidents caused by practitioners’ unsafe state in the process of coal mine production processes, it is necessary to clarify the factors influencing the practitioners’ unsafe state, and take corresponding control measures accordingly. Methods: With the help of literature research and on-site interviews, grounded theory was used to construct the influencing factor index system of the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state. The index system primary includes indices of four core categories, physiology, psychology, organization, and technology, and secondary indices of fourteen main categories. An AHP-DEMATEL model was constructed to calculate the comprehensive degree of influence of each influencing factor and rank it. Results: The results show that the main factors affecting the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state are physical quality, degree of fatigue, safety attitude, safety awareness, safety culture, and vigilance. Physical quality and degree of fatigue are the key factors that affect the coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state, which is more consistent with the actual situation of coal mine practitioners. With the findings of this study, coal mine managers can take relevant countermeasures to intervene in coal mine practitioners’ unsafe state and reduce the occurrence of accidents.
