Abstract

This study aimed to explore the relationship between job stress and adapting strategy of the construction workers of Hushan reservoir dam project in Yulin, Taiwan. The results showed that there is an association between salary and job stress, indicating the employees with higher salary had felt lower job stress, and employees who have worked for shorter amounts of time were found to feel job stress more than those who have been employed longer. Moreover, male employees showed more job stress than did the females. Educational level is showed as another factor influencing their adapting strategy. The results showed that the more positive thinking the employers have, the more job stress they would relieve. This study also obtained the following results: (1) Experience has significant differences in job stress rating, the less experience rating the higher the job stress. (2) There is a significant difference between the level of education with the cool, optimistic and straight type of thinking mode. (3) Different education levels have different levels of rating when faced with job stress. In general, the participants with bachelor’s degree have higher job stress rating than the others. (4) The participants with optimistic type of thinking have lower job stress than the others. (5) The relationship between job stress and adapting strategy showed a negative correlation. The workers with positive thinking mode are able to adapt to job stress.
