在两个选定的服装厂中,服装厂员工的幸福水平及其影响因素。
幸福是健康的一个关键因素,最近它已经成为大多数人类组织的目标,因为生产力随着幸福程度的提高而提高。目的了解科伦坡和甘帕哈地区两家制衣厂工人的幸福水平及其影响因素。方法对位于科伦坡和甘巴哈的两家服装厂的127名工人进行描述性横断面研究。一份自我管理的问卷用于收集人口统计特征、工作满意度、幸福水平和其他选定变量的信息。采用描述性统计和卡方检验对资料进行分析。结果63%的研究对象处于“非常幸福”这一幸福水平的最高类别。在被评估影响幸福感的因素中;友善的工作环境(p=0.02)、工作满意度(p=0.03)和当前婚姻状况(p=0.01)正相关;而工资等级和工伤事故数量没有关联。结论在所选研究组中,服装厂工人的幸福水平令人满意。由于友好的工作环境、工作满意度和当前婚姻状况与幸福感水平正相关,因此有机会进一步提高幸福感水平。
