The influence of employee pressure on the management cost of enterprise technological innovation using mental health education

BACKGROUND: Pressure will erode the health and vitality of employees, which undermines the combat effectiveness. OBJECTIVES: It tends to release employees stress and manage the pressure while reducing management costs. METHODS: Relationship between work pressure and innovation cost management is investigated. A model of impact of increased employee stress on human cost is proposed. Job demand control (JDC) model is employed to evaluate mental health status, work pressure, engagement, innovation ability, etc. Sensitivity of technical innovation management cost (TIMC) to various costs is analyzed. RESULTS: All factors of employees’ mental health are negatively correlated with work support, control, and duration. The worse the mental health, the lower the control over work resources. Through analysis of employees’ work stress and engagement variables, significance indicators of each factor are all less than 0.05, indicating a significant correlation between employee pressure and work engagement. TIMC is highly sensitive to the change of labor cost, but not to changes of fixed cost and material cost. CONCLUSIONS: Work demands and engagement were positively correlated, and so were work support and engagement. Enterprises should focus on labor cost, improve organizational and management and innovation efficiency.
