Abstract

When working in the maritime industry, employees frequently face various stressors (or stress factors) connected to their many responsibilities on board the ship. The primary contributing causes of seafarers on ships are examined in this study. This study investigates the stressors such as physical, psychosocial, social, and high work demand factors to determine which stressors contribute the most to the seafarers on board the ship and identify stress levels between the deck and engine departments. This is done by collecting data on seafarers' stress based on a questionnaire prepared in the Likert scale method and analyzing the data using the SPSS method and the T-test method. In conclusion, in this study, a proper recommendation is given to the seafarers to manage and handle their work-related stress on board the ship as it affects the performance of the seafarers during their duties on the vessel. With the results of this research, proper recommendations can be proposed to reduce the stress based on the stressors that contribute the most to the seafarers to ensure a safe working environment is created on board the ship.
