Abstract

Work stress significantly impacts employees' quality of life and work performance. Identifying risk factors associated with work-related stress is paramount. This cross-sectional analytical study investigated factors influencing work stress among employees in the electronics manufacturing and assembly industry in the Northeastern region. Data were gathered from 257 participants through a structured questionnaire assessing work characteristics and work stress levels (SWI), along with light intensity measurements in work areas with a focusing on eyesight (Spot). Risk factors were analysed by multiple logistic regression analysisto present Adjusted Odds ratio (OR_adj), 95% confidence interval (95% CI), at p-value<0.05. The research reveals a predominantly female workforce, with the majority aged between 30-39 years (38.91%), of whom 59.53% experienced perceived high work stress. Factors significantly related to work with work stress (p<0.05) wereduties involving inspecting or assembling small workpieces (OR_adj=1.98; 95%CI_adj:1.66-5.49), tasks requiring intense visual concentration (OR_adj=1.66; 95%CI_adj:1.02-2.69), and inadequate lighting to meet the standard (OR_adj=1.88; 95%CI_adj:1.08-3.25), notably during small workpiece assembly and inspection. Insufficient light intensity, crucial for focusing, emerged as a primary contributing factor to employees' work stress levels. Such findings of multifactorial affecting work stress among electronic workers, particularly work environmental factors and task-related stressors are very useful to be implemented and preventive measures for workers’ well-being and productivity.
