Abstract:
This study proposes a new framework as job burden-capital model for comprehensive assessment on occupational stress. 1618 valid samples were recruited from electronic manufacturing service industry in Hunan province by self-rated questionnaires after written consent. Structural equation model analysis was employed to verify the model by the data collected. The final fitting model has satisfactory fitting goodness (CMIN/DF=5.78, AGFI=0.937, NNFI=0.960, IFI=0.968, RMSEA=0.054). Both of the measurement model and structural model have acceptable path loadings. Job burden and capital could either directly affect occupational outcomes or indirectly influence them through personality. Multi-group structural equation model analyses indicate general applicability of the model to the basic features of such population. The job burden-capital model opens up new horizons for more in-depth study on occupational stress.
