Abstract

This study examined the influence of socio-demographic factors on level of job stress in foreign-owned manufacturing companies in Ogun State, Nigeria with the specific objectives of investigating level of job stress as well as the socio-demographic characteristics influencing the job stress level. This study used cross sectional analytical design with quantitative approach. Data were collected using structured questionnaire and the data collected were statistically analyzed using percentage and weighted mean; while the hypotheses formulated were tested using spearman rank correlation and multiple regressions. The results of the study showed that with the exception of gender (P<0.05; coeff r = -0.003), and employees’ department (P<0.05; coeff r = -0.003) that impacted negatively on employees stress level, other socio-demographic characteristics such as age (P<0.05: coeff r = 0.074), marital status (P<0.05; coeff r = 0.125), educational level (P<0.05; coeff r = 0.037), employees’ cadre (P<0.05; coeff r= 0.038), years of working experience (P<0.05; coeff r= 0.146), income (P<0.05; coeff r= 0.025) and employees’ position (P<0.05; coeff r= 0.103) had positive impacts on the employees’ job stress level. This concludes that socio-demographic factors exert significant influence on employees’ job stress level. It is recommended that employers should always take into consideration employees’ socio-demographic characteristics when assessing their job stress level because it can provide useful information on specific individual characteristics influencing stress level in workplace. Keywords: socio-demographic, stress, employees, cross sectional analytical, Ogun
社会人口因素对尼日利亚奥贡州外资制造企业工作压力水平的影响
本研究考察了社会人口因素对尼日利亚奥贡州外资制造公司工作压力水平的影响,其具体目标是调查工作压力水平以及影响工作压力水平的社会人口特征。本研究采用定量方法的横断面分析设计。采用结构化问卷收集资料,采用百分比和加权平均值进行统计分析;采用spearman秩相关和多元回归对所提出的假设进行检验。研究结果表明,除性别差异外(P<0.05;coeff r = -0.003),员工部门(P<0.05;coeff r = -0.003)对员工压力水平、其他社会人口统计学特征如年龄(P<0.05: coeff r = 0.074)、婚姻状况(P<0.05;coff r = 0.125)、文化程度(P<0.05;coff r = 0.037),员工干部(P<0.05;coeff r= 0.038)、工作年限(P<0.05;系数r= 0.146)、收入(P<0.05;coeff r= 0.025)与员工职位相关(P<0.05;Coeff r= 0.103)对员工的工作压力水平有正向影响。由此可见,社会人口因素对员工的工作压力水平有显著影响。建议雇主在评估员工的工作压力水平时,应始终考虑到员工的社会人口特征,因为这可以提供有关影响工作场所压力水平的具体个人特征的有用信息。关键词:社会人口学,压力,员工,截面分析,奥根
