Abstract

Background: This study conducted a longitudinal analysis of the association between job satisfaction and stress or depressive symptoms of employed persons with disabilities (PWDs) based on the data from the 1st to 8th Pannel Survey of Employment for the Disabled (PSED). Methods: After excluding missing values, data on 1614 participants at baseline (1st wave) were analyzed using the chi-square test and generalized estimating equation (GEE) model for data from 1st to 8thPSED. Results: It was found that for each one-unit increase in the job satisfaction score, the stress scale decreased by 0.004 (B: −0.004, 95% CI: −0.006–−0.002, p-value: < 0.0001). Compared to the very high job satisfaction group, the low job satisfaction group was more likely to experience perceived stress (odds ratio [OR]: 2.127, p-value: 0.001) and experience depressive symptoms (OR: 3.557, p-value < 0.0001). Furthermore, in terms of the overall satisfaction with their current job among the PWDs, compared to the ‘satisfied’ group, the ‘unsatisfied’ group had higher perceived stress (OR: 1.593, p-value < 0.0001) and depressive symptoms (OR: 2.688, p-value < 0.0001). Conclusions: There was a close association between job satisfaction and stress or depressive symptoms among employed PWDS. This study’s findings may serve as foundational research to support improving mental health in this population. In addition, it is anticipated that these findings can be used as evidence to improve the work environment for PWDs within the context of Korean corporate culture.
