Abstract

In order to investigate the mental health status and needs of the workforce, a survey was conducted in the form of a questionnaire among 2,414 employees. The results revealed that “excessive perceived stress” is the most prevalent mental issue among workers. Furthermore, male employees exhibited slightly better mental well-being compared to their female counterparts, while those with lower educational qualifications typically enjoyed better mental health, whereas higher-educated workers were more prone to experiencing emotional problems. Married employees appeared to exhibit more favorable mentalwell-being. When exploring the factors influencing the mental status of workers, the research indicated that “family financial pressure,” “salary and benefits,” “social changes,” and “physical health” had the most significant impact on mental well-being. Additionally, female employees, individuals with a junior high school education or below, and married workers displayed the highest demand for mental services. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the mental health issues faced by the workforce and offer valuable insights for tailoring strategies to better address the diverse mental health needs of workers, thereby presenting pertinent recommendations for the enhancement of employees’ mental well-being.
