- Abstract
- OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to identify job stress level and to elucidate the factors associated with job stress among female golf caddies as a specific job group in South Korea. PARTICIPANTS: The sample included 228 female caddies from 9 golf resorts in this descriptive cross-sectional study. METHODS: Descriptive analysis and hierarchical regression were conducted to examine significant correlations between variables. RESULTS: The hierarchical regression model for job stress explained 26.8% of the variance among those with a low monthly income (beta = -0.151, p = 0.021), an irregular diet (beta = 0.165, p = 0.014), and high daily work hours (beta = 0.380, p = 0.000), showing that these respondents were more likely to report high job stress levels. CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this study underscore the urgent need to improve job stress levels and factors related to job stress among female golf caddies. Future intervention programs for this job of specific case should focus on improving job stress and coping strategies.
