Objective:
This study aimed to assess a broader range of psychosocial factors and explore the relationship between fatigue and the Chinese version New Brief Job Stress Questionnaire.
Methods:
We conducted a cross-sectional study involving laborers from Occupational Health Services and outpatients at Kaohsiung Municipal Siaogang Hospital. The self-administered questionnaire included the Checklist Individual Strength and the Chinese version New Brief Job Stress Questionnaire.
Results:
The multiple linear regression revealed younger age and nonshift work being associated with a higher score of fatigue. Meanwhile, higher job demand was linked to higher levels of fatigue, while lower job control was linked to higher levels of fatigue.
Conclusions:
Younger workers and higher job demands have a higher risk of fatigue. Strategies for improving labor workers' well-being and performance should address these psychosocial factors accordingly.
