Among the daily stress factors, 'work' was the number one factor that has the greatest influence on depression in office workers.

This is the result of a research team led by Professor Sang-won Jeon and Cho Sung-joon of the Department of Mental Health at Gangbuk Samsung Hospital published in the international journal Frontiers in Public Health.

The research team confirmed this by analyzing 12,2541 office workers aged 19 to 65 who underwent mental health checkups at the hospital's Corporate Mental Health Research Institute from April 2020 to November 2022.




As a result of comparing the effects of seven major daily stress factors, including workplace problems, family relationships, interpersonal relationships, health problems, money problems, shock events, and mannerism, it was the workplace problem that had the greatest impact. Next, mannerism, family relationships, interpersonal relationships, health problems, money problems, and traumatic events were in order.

Regardless of men and women, workplace problems, mannerism, family relationships, and interpersonal relationships appeared in order.

In terms of the overall age, workplace problems and mannerism ranked first and second, while interpersonal relationships under 30s, financial problems in 30s, and health problems and financial problems in 40s had a large impact on depression.




Since office workers spend most of their days at work, it is analyzed that workplace stress may have been the most influential factor on depression.
