| Resumen |
A total of 255 managers (133 German and 123 British), predominantly from middle and upper management and working in various companies throughout the two countries, responded to a survey assessing occupational stress and job satisfaction and leisure preferences. National differences were observed on several of the OSI subscales. German managers expressed higher sources of job-related pressure, and significantly better mental health than their British counterparts. Overall job pressure was associated with job dissatisfaction, low internal locus of control, and inferior psychological and physical health. Type-A behaviour scores were correlated negatively with external locus of control and positively with job satisfaction. Internal locus of control was associated with high job-related pressure, high job satisfaction and mental and physical health. All these findings were true for both national groups. |
