Abstract

Background: Many countries make many of their governmental sectors private. This transition, however, may affect their employees in numerous ways. Objective: To determine the level of OCCUPATIONAL STRESS and MENTAL HEALTH of employees of a petrochemical company in Isfahan, Central Iran, before and 3 months after PRIVATIZATION. Methods: Out of the 700 employees of the studied company, using a stratified random sampling technique, 140 persons were selected. We used Steinmetz OCCUPATIONAL STRESS and GHQ-28 questionnaires to determine the level of stress and MENTAL HEALTH status of participants. Results: The reliability of the questionnaires used was acceptable (Chronbach alpha coefficients: 0.85 and 0.86, respectively). Job stress level was significantly increased 3 months after PRIVATIZATION; the mean±SD job stress score before and after PRIVATIZATION were 22.9±10.43 and 28.3±12.25, respectively (p<0.001). The mean±SD MENTAL HEALTH score after PRIVATIZATION (17.57±11.63) was also significantly (p<0.001) higher than that before the PRIVATIZATION (13.8±6.0). There was a significant (p<0.001) positive correlation between the MENTAL HEALTH status score and job score (r=0.476). Conclusion: After PRIVATIZATION, the job stress of employees increased significantly. This increase was associated with a decrease in MENTAL HEALTH. To lessen the side effects of privatization, the process should be performed cautiously.
