The main purpose of this article is to analyze the current situation of overwork among Taiwanese laborers as well as the influencing factors. By referring to existing literature, this article has established three scales—'work fatigue," 'client fatigue," and 'reduced presence"—to evaluate the phenomenon of overwork among employees of the technology industry, health care industry, transportation industry, and security industry, all of which have relatively high overwork proportions. In addition, through a questionnaire and regression analysis of 800 employees from these four industries, industry characteristics, workload, organizational culture, and personal work habits were found to have significant influences on overwork at the workplace. When an industry is characterized by intense competition or rapid change, the workload is high, or the individual is greatly devoted to work, an employee is more likely to feel overworked. This finding is consistent with the results of many previous studies. In contrast, the more rewarding the organizational culture is, the less 'work fatigue" employees will experience. In addition, when an employee´s work is based on an accountability system or their remuneration involves variable pay, the employee is more likely to feel overworked as well. |
