The author analyzed individual data from the JILPT-implemented “Research on Mental Health Management in the Workplace” and studied factors that influence workplace mental health. In analyzing individual data, the author looked at the influence that explanatory variables have on four explained variables, using past experimental studies as a reference. Viewed comprehensively, the results of analyses reveal the following four important findings. (i) Differences among business categories: Analysis showed that those categories showing the most concern for mental health are “electricity, gas, heat supply and water” and “information and communications,” while those showing the least concern include “transport and postal services,” “wholesale and retail trade” and “eating and drinking places, accommodations.” (ii) Differences depending on size of business establishment. Even when controlling for the influence of various variables, larger enterprises tend to have greater concern for mental health. (iii) The issue of non-regular employees: working as a non-regular employee appears to bring disadvantages in terms of mental health. However, many enterprises do not consider changes in the number of non-regular employees as related to mental health issues. (iv) Treatment of employees on sick leave. Enterprises that take treatment of employees on sick leave more seriously tend to have more concern for mental health, regardless of their size. From the above results, it is thought that giving priority to specific business categories, small and medium-size enterprises, non-regular employees, and other vulnerable populations will provide a shortcut to the resolution or alleviation of mental health issues.
