154(42.4%) were working actively while 209(57.6%) were not working.
When advanced statistical analysis is performed; those who did not work had
more stress than the workers(p=0.049),
Workers include:
Those who had problems related to environmental factors in the working
environment experienced more stress than those who did not(p=0.044)
Those who had problems with organizational factors had more stress than those
who did not, but this result was not significant(p=0.329)
Those who had problems with individual factors in the working environment
experienced more stress than those who did not(p = 0.006)
Those who had problems with individual differences in the working environment
had more stress than those who did not(p = 0.018).
Conclusion: Stress sources, which are inherent in the nature of the
business, are constantly creating problems for employees.
