Intrapersonal and extrapersonal factors in stressor perceptions, coping and strain among NHS staffWilliams, Glenn Andrew January 2003 (has links)
There is considerable debate about the optimal methods to be taken in measuring work related stressor-strain links. This study has explored these issues by testing a two-factor approach of assessing occupationally and organisationally linked stressors. The discriminant validity of the Job Stress Survey (JSS; Spielberger & Vagg, 1999) was tested in this study. 1,050 employees from seven National Health Service (NHS) Trusts were examined to evaluate the degree to which JSS subscales of Job Pressure and Lack of Organizational Support differentiated between staff experiences of occupational and organisational stressors respectively. Support for the discriminant validity of the JSS was obtained with inter-occupational differences in Job Pressure when comparing between the seven NHS staff groups surveyed. By contrast, staff subjected to major organisational change were more likely to report high levels of Lack of Organizational Support than those not facing such change. The satisfactory discriminant validity of the JSS has general implications for stress prevention and management. Workers in occupations prone to high occupational stress could benefit from targeted stress management interventions, whereas endemic organisational stress could be more effectively tackled with an organisation-wide focus. MIS workers' degree of Neuroticism appeared to bias links between stressors and strains. Also, when compared with low-ranking and high-ranking staff, middle-ranking workers had the highest levels of stressor experiences and the lowest job satisfaction. As a result, future research and interventions should consider the role of Neuroticism and occupational seniority, as these variables significantly influenced NHS employees' stress experiences. It is also recommended that research into workplace stress should involve the statistical control of Neuroticism. By neglecting the crucial role of Neuroticism, researchers may be ignoring the full extent to which this personality trait may distort the true link between a stressor and subsequent strain.

A study of the relationship between occupational stress and person-environment fitFilkins, Carol R. January 1990 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between personenvironment fit (P-E fit) and occupational stress. All 31 employees of the University Police Department of Ball State University were invited to participate in the study on a voluntary basis, and were assured anonymity. Participants completed a demographic information sheet and three questionnaires: the Work Environment Scale, Ideal (WES-I) and Real (WES-R) versions, and the Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI). Twenty-two participants turned in completed test packets. Raw scores were calculated and graphed for individuals (OSI) and the entire group (WES). A correlation matrix with Pearson r as the correlation coefficient among the 14 OSI subscales and the 10 WES subscales was used to examine the relationship between P-E fit and occupational stress. Different patterns of occupational stress and work environment were found. The three job subgroups (police officers, radio dispatchers, and "other") exhibited different levels of occupational stress, with the most difference in the Physical Environment subscale. The group perceptions of the ideal and real work environments were different on every WES subscore, indicating employees wanted improvement in each area tested. Radio dispatchers were found to have the widest gap between their ideal and real work environments. There appeared to be no significant relation between occupational stress and P-E fit for this small sample. The results suggested an inverse relationship between a University police department employee's occupational stress and how well that employee fits the work environment for four variables: Role Insufficiency, Role Boundary, Vocational Strain, and Psychological Strain. Those who fit the work environment least scored highest on the Rational/Cognitive Coping variable, the only statistically significant correlation. It is possible the work environment may have such a powerful effect on personal life that it is unaffected by personal efforts to change it. Recognition of the different work environments and occupational stress levels could be useful in departmental planning. Further study is suggested. / Institute for Wellness
