다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

There is a necessity for research on the job stress and depression of employees in the beauty industry, which is as important as that on customer management, in order to find out how to ease their job stress and boost job performance. Meanwhile, lots of studies have focused on their job stressors, working environments and health status, but there haven`t been plenty of research efforts about their job stress and depression. The purpose of this study was to examine the job stressors of workers in the beauty industry, factors causing their depression and the relationship of the two to leisure activities. Job requirements put the most strain on the workers, and many suffered from mild depression symptoms. In terms of the impact of leisure activities on total job stress scores and depression, socializing exerted a positive influence on the two, and the factors that affected job stress and depression were not the same. To cope with the job stress and depression of workers in the beauty industry, how to encourage them to enjoy a variety of leisure activities should be explored to alleviate their job stress and depression. Just hairdressers were examined in this study without comparing them with others who had different types of beauty-related occupations, and dynamic research efforts should be channeled in the future into the job stress of various workers in this industry, the cause of their depression, their depression symptoms, coping methods, types of leisure activities and satisfaction with leisure life. More extensive geographic regions should be investigated, and a comparative analysis should be conducted by comparing people with different sorts of occupations to produce better and more significant results.
