A Study on the Correlation between Working Pressure and Job Satisfaction from the Viewpoint of Work Exhaustion

Abstract

Under the rapid industrialization, the country has become a major high-tech industry in Asia. Being an important industry in domestic strategic development, high-tech industry attracts a lot of manpower. During the depression after the fi nancial crisis, organizations' adoption of layoff s and unpaid leave to increase work or transfer positions induced employees' worries. There was news about hi-tech millionaires dying young of overwork in past years. Working pressure therefore became the major problem emphasized by human resource managers. Stress management related issues have been discussed academically or practically in recent years. Aiming at high-tech employees of Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, 500 copies of questionnaire are distributed and 387 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 77%. The research results reveal 1.positive relations between working pressure and work exhaustion, 2.negative relations between work exhaustion and job satisfaction, and 3.negative relations between working pressureandjob satisfaction. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to assist high-tech industry in improving employees'working pressure to largely benefi t employee health and industrial yield.

“…Ta kategoria artykułów, na którą składa się 8 tekstów, charakteryzuje się bardzo szerokim spektrum tematycznym i relatywnie wspólnym konceptem badań, a mianowicie wpływem wybranych czynników zewnętrznych lub wewnętrznych na pracę zwykle w konkretnym dziale przemysłu. Do tego założenia nawiązują prace: The effect of managerial ability on corporate social responsibility and firm value in the energy industry (Yujing i in., 2021) oraz A study on the correlation between working pressure and job satisfaction from the viewpoint of work exhaustion (Huang, Wang, 2019).…”

Exploring the Development Strategies of Science Parks Using the Hybrid MCDM Approach

“…Therefore, improving work stress is a key issue in the high-tech industry. Improving work stress not only reduces burnout and avoids low job satisfaction it also benefits employee health and industrial productivity [29].…”

“…This study confirms Huang, Chau, Yin and Chen [16] that the government should pay attention to environmental issues while managing science parks to achieve sustainable economic development. As for work pressure and human management in the high-tech industry, attention should also be paid to workers' quality of life and working conditions [30] to improve the physical and psychological problems caused by work pressure and help improve work productivity [29].…”
