Table 2 reveals that the general score of work stressors of civil servants was 75.53 ± 13.76. Several factors in different dimensions of work stressors had various scores. Specifically, superiors achieved the highest score (26.12 ± 6.92), followed by interpersonal relationship (12.72 ± 4.27). Scores on work task (7.22 ± 1.98) and perfectionism (7.18 ± 1.92) were similar. The lowest score was achieved by job responsibility (6.65 ± 1.79).
The one-way ANOVA results on work stressors scores of different ages of civil servants are presented in Table 3. The total scores in different dimensions (superiors, interpersonal relationship, work particularity, career prospect, perfectionism, job responsibility, and work stressors) had significantly disparity on different ages of civil servants (P < 0.001).
The effects of marital status on the scores of work stressors of civil servants were analyzed through one-way ANOVA (Table 4). Significant differences were found between married and unmarried civil servants in the scores of superiors, job responsibility, interpersonal relationship, and career prospect and total scores (P < 0.05).
The one-way ANOVA analysis results of the effects of working years on work stressors of civil servants are depicted in Table 5. With the increase of working years of civil servants, the level of stressors of work in civil servants also increased. Significant differences on the scores of superiors, interpersonal relationship, work particularity, perfectionism, and career prospect and total scores were observed with the increase of working years (P < 0.001).
The one-way ANOVA analysis results of the effects of educational background on work stressors of civil servants are illustrated in Table 6. Educational background could significantly act upon scores of superiors, job responsibility, interpersonal relationship, work particularity, perfectionism, and career prospect and total scores (P < 0.01). Table 7 reveals that except for career prospect, the scores of principal civil servants in other dimensions and general sources are higher than those of deputy positions and common positions. According to the one-way ANOVA results of work stressors scores of civil servants in different posts, significant differences were only observed on job responsibility, interpersonal relationship, and career prospect and total scores (P < 0.05).
