Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Psychology
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Working conditions significantly impact employee physical, mental, and social health.
  • Worker well-being serves as a key indicator of overall health status.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between various working conditions and worker well-being.
  • To identify specific workplace factors influencing employee health outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from 5,995 employed workers from the 2010 Korean Working Conditions Survey.
  • Assessed worker well-being using the WHO Five Well-Being Index (1998).
  • Analyzed sociodemographic and working condition factors, calculating adjusted odds ratios.

Main Results:

  • Job satisfaction was strongly associated with higher worker well-being (OR=1.656).
  • Matching actual and anticipated work hours or working slightly longer hours correlated with improved well-being.
  • Stable employment status was also a significant predictor of enhanced well-being (OR=1.269).

Conclusions:

  • Confirms a significant association between specific working condition factors and worker well-being.
  • Highlights the importance of job satisfaction, manageable work hours, and employment stability for promoting worker health.
