They completed the preliminary KOSS-NSOW, the 12-item general health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), Symptom checklist-90-Revision (SCL-90-R), Satisfaction with the life scale (SWLS). The Data were analyzed for internal consistency, factor structure and correlations using SPSS 21.0 (p<0.05).

The factor analysis revealed eight-factors: Occupational characteristics and emotional labor, Occupational aptitude and satisfaction, Organizational culture, Leadership of superior, Relationship in organization, Workload, Fair treatment, Salary and welfare were. A good validity was clearly shown by significant correlations with KOSS-NSOW and GHQ-12, SCL-90-R, SWLS (p<0.05).
