*The associations between psychological distress and senses of contribution to society or bonding with workplace were analysed separately using 4 logistic regression models.
Model 1: Without adjustment.
Model 2: Adjusted for job stress factors (support from supervisors, support from co-workers, support from family, quantitative workload, quality of workload, and job control latitude).
Model 3: Adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics of participants (sex, age group, job position, and department).
Model 4: Adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics of participants and job stress factors.
