Highlights

Worker’s job stress recently increases, according to organizational system and job intensity
This study was performed to identify the effect of the place of work environment on worker’s job stress and heart rate variability (HRV)
As a result of analyzing correlations between indicators to grasp the utilization of HRV as a human physiological indicator on job stress, the HRV indicator showed significant correlations between job stress and the lack of job autonomy and organizational system

Summary

Introduction

Worker’s job stress recently increases, according to organizational system and job intensity. The phenomenon that productivity does not increase in proportion to working hours shows that the improvement of working environment and organizational system is necessary. As worker’s job stress increases, labor productivity declines, but the quality of life and job satisfaction fall [2,3], which can affect national productivity. Individual stress control, but the place of work environment and organizational system’s autonomy need to be encouraged and improved. An effort to enhance worker’s health through job stress management has been continuously made. Job stress is indicated with psychological pressure and anxiety, and many studies on physiological indicators to verify physiological effects and manage worker’s health are carried out
