Abstract

Introduction: Anxiety and depression are the most common psychological problems that reduce employee productivity. Aim: The present study was conducted to compare the level of anxiety and depression of satellite project staff and accommodation in companies located in Kharg Island. Method: The present study was a causal-comparative study. The statistical population of the study included all employees of the satellite project and residents of companies located on Kharg Island in 2021. Using the available method, 104 people (52 from the satellite plan and 52 from the island) were selected. Data were collected using the Anxiety-Depression-Stress Questionnaire (DASS-42). Research data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, parametric statistical defaults and multivariate analysis of variance with SPSS-26. Results: The results showed that the mean scores of anxiety (Eta=0.23, P=0.000, F=31.37) and depression (Eta=0.17, P=0.000, F=21.39) were significantly higher in the resident staff group than the satellite plan staff and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion: The results showed that employees living in companies based on Kharg Island experienced higher levels of anxiety and depression than employees of the satellite project. In this regard, island managers are advised to use psychologists to increase the psychological performance of employees to increase the productivity of the workforce.
