The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of job environments on the maltreatment of employees after controlling the personal characteristics of care workers. we conducted a questionnaire survey of 5,000 care workers who are working in nursing homes across Japan, and used data from 1,143 respondents for analysis. The analysis method were descriptive statistics and hierarchical regression. As a result, it was found that stress, teamwork, education and training are significantly related to maltreatment. Policy and practical implications are discussed as follows: first, it is necessary to discuss how to reduce the stress of the employees by sharing the coping strategy with the care workers who are burdened with the work performance and the situations that are likely to cause abuse. Second, the improvement of working conditions such as wage level and workload can not be considered as a decrease in maltreatment. Therefore, voluntary efforts of the facility(teamwork, education and training, etc) should be strengthened. Third, we should build a faithful environment for education and training, which had the greatest effect on maltreatment reduction. However, it is important to review the curriculum structure to ensure that education and training functions more effectively, rather than the monolithic idea of simply reducing maltreatment through education and training.
