Career Development and Psychopathological Symptoms on Female Workers
Abstract
Women workers face a variety of challenges in the world of work. In addition to facing dual role conflicts for married female workers, they also face various stressors at their jobs. This will leave women vulnerable and have an impact on workers' emotional well-being. This study sought to ascertain the connection between female workers' propensity for psychopathological symptoms and occupational stressors. One hundred and thirty-four female office workers were recruited for this cross-sectional study. Subjects were questioned about age, education, marital status, and years of work for describing respondents’ characteristics. The diagnostic stress survey and symptom checklist 90 were used for measuring work stressors and determining the tendency of psychopathological symptoms, respectively. Data were statistically analyzed using the chi-square test, the Fisher exact test, and logistic regression, where appropriate, with a meaningfulness level of p < 0,05. Results show that quantitative workload stressors, qualitative workloads, and career development are associated with psychopathological symptoms, but after continuing with The Logistic regression test found that career development stressors were mainly associated with the appearance of psychopathological symptoms ( p= 0.003; OR= 10,069.95 % CI 2,238 – 45,296). Female workers who experience barriers to career development have a 10-fold risk for the occurrence of psychopathological symptoms.
