Occupational Stress and Coping of Japanese Workers

Problem. Research shows that the mental health of the average Japanese worker is not nearly as good as one would be apt to infer from the glowing reports of Japan's phenomenal economical success. The purpose of this study was to investigate relationships between occupational stress, the employee's coping strategies, and the resulting mental health of Japanese workers. In particular, the roles of the employee's stress coping strategies in the above relationships were examined from the following three viewpoints: (a) the dimensionality of coping strategies in occupational stress situations; (b) the efficacy of coping strategies in the occupational stress situations; and (c) the validity of the occupational stress model which treats coping as a moderator between stress and mental health.
