This study examined the relationship between work-related social support and mental health status in employees. Subjects were 985 male and 283 female employees at the city hall. Their mental health status was assessed by the General Health Questionnaire (28-item version in Japanese) and our work stress scale. Subjects were asked about three areas of work-related social support : relations with working staff, work fatigue and working conditions. The data was mainly analyzed using covariance analysis. For employees who had no adviser with whom they could discuss work-related matters, the stress level was significantly higher in all areas than that of other employees. When employees perceived relations with working staffs and work fatigue as stressful, consulting with their superior was effective for relieving the stress. These results shows that it is very important to have an adviser at work. Also, work-related social support could be an important element in a discussion of mental health care for employees.
