    Main Results:

    • Depressive illness (60%) and anxiety neurosis (28%) were the most common diagnoses.
    • Managers' main work problem was conflict with employers, whereas workers faced difficulties with colleagues.
    • Managers reported low supervisor support and high work pressure; workers cited poor peer cohesion but adequate employer relations and manageable workload.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace dynamics and environmental factors significantly contribute to mental health issues in both managerial and worker roles.
    • Distinct stressors exist for managers (supervisory conflict, pressure) and workers (peer relationships) requiring tailored support strategies.
