Influence of Playfulness on Job Stress and Job Performance among Engineers

Purpose : This study was done to investigate the relationship between the playfulness, job stress and job performance among engineers. Methods : The participants for this study were 267 people for 12 industrial engineers who are engaged in machinery, chemistry, and electrical related work within the industrial complex in Y city. Data were collected by self-administered questionnaires from September 1 to December 12, 2016 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, sheffe test, pearson’s correlation coefficients, and stepwise multiple regression analysis with the SPSS/Win 21.0 program. Results : Engineers’ playfulness had a negative relationship with their job stress (r＝-.31, p＜.001), but positive relationship with job performance (r＝.35, p ＜.001). The influencing factors of engineers’ job stress were employment period (β＝.13, p＝.027) and playful-ness (β＝-.32, p＜.001) which accounted for 12%. The influencing factor of engineers’ job performance was playfulness (β＝.35, p＜.001) which accounted for 13%. Conclusion : It is thought that this can contribute to grasp the playfulness of individual engineer, not only to cultivate creative work capabilities, but also to reduce job stress and to bring out high job performance results.
