| Abstract : UNIRAZAK Library |
| Working offshore on oil platforms is seen as a challenging occupational role to many
especially with long rotational schedule ranging from fourteen to twenty-eight days away from
family. Having to live and work at the same site, shift-work schedule with long working hours,
high risks and remote work environment are some common features of an offshore job.
Maintaining a healthy work force is critical to oil and gas companies as skilled and experienced
employees are highly demanded in the industry. This study aims to examine the occupational
stress factors among offshore oil and gas employees in Malaysia including the recent COVID-
19 pandemic’s impact and further analyses the relationship between the selected dependent,
independent and mediating variables. The data will be collected using a self-administered
questionnaire to a targeted sample number of employees due to the large population of
Malaysian offshore oil and gas workers using the approach of simple random sampling. The
data will be analyzed using IBM Statistical Package for Social Science Version 28.0.1. [SPSS
28.0.1] to address the factors by means of reliability analysis, frequency distribution analysis,
descriptive and inferential statistical analysis, correlation and multiple regression analysis to
address the research objectives. The implications of the findings will not be discussed in this
paper. Keywords: occupational stress, stressors, oil & gas |
