Results : Prevalence of depressive symptoms of overall was 10.5%. Gender, age, marital status, length of employment, alcohol use, overall satisfaction with living in the Innovation City, total scores of job-related stress and state anxiety revealed significant differences between the depressed and non-depressed symptom groups. In multivariate regression analysis, “Dissatisfied with living in the Innovation City” (OR=6.48), “Non-alcohol drinker” (OR=2.8), “Unmarried” (OR=2.58), “State anxiety” (OR=1.15) were significantly associated with depressive symptoms.
