Purpose : Along with the changes in the distribution industry from offline-oriented to online consumption, the prolonged COVID-19 has greatly increased the delivery volume. As a result, the need for health protection for delivery workers is emerging along with the increase in workload of workers. This study aims to identify the factors affecting the fatigue of male delivery workers. Method : We analyzed the data from the Sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey (2020). And the subjects were a total of 486 male delivery workers. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to investigate the factors associated with fatigue. Result : The results of the study are as follows: 47.4% of the participants worked over 52 hours a week. 38.9% of the subjects had temperature changes. and 29.0% had back pain. And 36.2% of the participants had work-related fatigue. As a result of analyzing the factors affecting fatigue, the variables found to be associated with extra long working hours per week, temperature changes during work, and more work-related back pain, muscle pain, and anxiety. Conclusion : To reduce the fatigue of male delivery workers, it is necessary to ensure that legal working hours are regulated and to reduce work-related anxiety. In addition, it will be necessary to detect and manage back pain and muscle pain early, and to minimize temperature changes during work.
