health-related behaviors, depression. Chi-Square analysis and Pearson's correlation coefficient was
put into survey results, in which a degree of depression was dependent variable and others were

Results :
1. The distribution for depression degree has shown the rate as 80.2% in normal range group and
19.8% in depression group.
2. As for depression, long working hours(p=0.042), poor sense satisfaction in work(p=0.000), not fit
to the job(p=0.003), low personal relation with peer works or supervisors(p=0.039), without alcohol
drinking(p=0.048), poor subjective condition of health(p=0.000) than their respective counterparts.
3. Concerning correlation between depression and various factors, poor sense satisfaction in
work(r=-0.332, p=0.000), not fit to the job(r=-0.353, p=0.000), low personal relation with peer
works or supervisors(r=-0.215, p=0.002), without alcohol drinking(r=-0183, p=0.009), poor subjective
condition of health(r=-0.333, p=0.000).
Conclusions : These results showed that depression state could be influenced by various factors,
which include socio-demographic, job-related characteristics and health-related behaviors.
