Overview of Work Stress Levels among Online Motorcycle Taxi Drivers,Mechanics, and Construction Workers in Surabaya City

Abstract

ork-related stress is one of the psychosocial factors that plays an important role in the occurrence of occupational
diseases, particularly in work environments with high job demands and workloads. Continuous exposure to workrelated stress can adversely affect workers’ physical and mental health and lead to a decline in work productivity. This article aims to describe the level of work-related stress and its potential association with occupational diseases based on the results of a work stress survey practicum.  The method used was a descriptive survey with an observational approach, conducted through the administration of a work stress questionnaire to respondents. The assessed aspects included workload, time pressure, work relationships, and perceived health complaints. The survey results showed that a proportion of respondents experienced moderate to high levels of work-related stress, with common health complaints including fatigue, sleep disturbances, headaches, and muscle pain. These conditions indicate a potential increase in the risk of occupational diseases if appropriate control measures are The implications of these findings highlight the importance of controlling psychosocial factors through the implementation of a comprehensive Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) program, including workload management, provision of adequate rest periods, and enhancement of workplace support, in order to prevent occupational diseases and improve workers’ overall well-being.
