The subordinate factors of job stress affecting the mental health and perceived health status of caddies were confirmed by using multiple regression analysis. The factors affecting the mental health were an interpersonal relationship, whereas those affecting the perceived health status were interpersonal relationship and the job insecurity. The explanatory power of these factors related to the mental health was 47.4% and perceived health status was 23.0% of the health, respectively.
