China, in her rapid industrialization over the last two decades, has successfully grown out of its traditional village image and into a modernized society. This dissertation aims to study the job stress of workers through the application of Karaseks (1979) job demand - job control model, in the collectivistic culture of China. Karaseks results indicated that workers in general perceived their jobs as more demanding and themselves as less in control. Moreover, high anxiety and depressive symptoms were related to their stressful working environment and demanding jobs. / PhD Doctorate
