The Influence of Co-Worker Social Support and Job Satisfaction on Job Stress among Mechanics and Engineers in the Aviation Industry

Abstract

The aviation industry is a field of work that requires high precision and concentration, leading to a high level of job stress. One prominent issue in aviation is the increasing frequency of incidents and accidents. This study aims to examine the influence of co-worker social support and job satisfaction on job stress among mechanics and engineers. The sample consists of 100 individuals working as mechanics and engineers in the aviation industry. Multiple linear regression analysis using Pearson correlation is employed for data analysis. The results indicate that co-worker social support and job satisfaction jointly account for 49.2% of job stress. Overall, the participants' co-worker social support and job satisfaction are moderate, while job stress is significantly high. The study shows that co-worker social support has a greater impact on job stress compared to job satisfaction. Keywords: co-worker social support, job satisfaction, job stress, mechanics, engineers.
