Stepwise Regression Analysis of Work Locus of Control and Stress in Mine Emergency Rescuers

Abstract:

Objective to study the mine emergency rescuers occupational stress and work locus of control relationship Methods Work locus of control has been measured by using the WLCS scale. The occupational stress instrument has been employed to investigate the stressors, personalities, social support, and coping strategies as well as the subjects age, length of service, sex, educational level and marriage status. The stepwise regression analysis was used for testing the difference of stressors among the groups with different scores of work locus of control. Results the occupational stress reactions influencing factors who were entered predictive model and R² were different between internal control group and external control group. Conclusion When the level of work locus of control are different, there are different level of occupational stress in mine emergency rescue workers.
