Abstract

Job STRESS has been recognized as one of the important factors for human well-being. JOB STRESS is more important among WOMEN than other groups, because of their key roles in the household. It has a negative effect on their health status and other family members, and reduce their quality of life.The aim of this investigation was to study the WOMEN’s JOB STRESS and dissatisfaction, and to determine the main STRESSors in their working places.This study was carried out on 700 employed WOMEN aged 24 to 65 years living in AHWAZ. Information was collected by a self-completed questionnaire. To determine JOB STRESS, the Karasek’s JOB strain model was employed. Responses were categorized and scored as "always", "often", "sometimes", and "never". The JOB STRESS indicators were; fire, anxiety, psychological pressures, have a boring JOB, dissatisfaction of work time, lack of enough rest, lack of correspondence to educational level/experience, and lack of enough independence. All 7 STRESS- items were scored on a scale of 1 to 4 ranged between 7 to 28. Those above and those below the median value (16) were signified as more and less JOB STRESS, respectively.The mean age for the WOMEN was 40.8± 10.0 years. Overall, 24.3% and 54.2% of WOMEN were dissatisfy of their JOB and reported JOB STRESS, respectively. JOB dissatisfaction was more common among low educated and unskilled workers (P<0.001). JOB STRESS was also more common among high-educated responders (P<0.001). Teachers compared to others reported the most JOB STRESS (66.7%, P<0.001). Lack of enough rest (96.9%), dissatisfaction of work time (91.9%), and psychological pressures (88.7%) were the most common STRESSors at WOMEN’s work. In conclusion, more attention on JOB satisfaction and reduction of work-time, particularly for those who are more at risk of JOB STRESS, increase the WOMEN’s health level and their family. Furthermore, this may increase their work production and prevent the occupational accidents. Since many WOMEN’s JOB STRESSors are related to management programs, managers should have the most attentions to these issues.
