Diagnosing Occupational Stress in Romanian Organisations

AbstractThe study investigates the complex topic of occupational stress, based on a comprehensive model of stress diagnosis and management for romanian employees (N=1026 participants), at individual and organizational level. The following multidimensional components of the dynamic stress process are measured with the romanian adapted version of Pressure Management Indicator (PMI, Williams & Cooper, 1998; PMI-RO, Brate, 2004, 2006, 2008): stressors, effects, individual differences and coping strategies. Specific significant influences and associations between stressors, individual differences, coping strategies and perceived effects of occupational stress are presented. Further implications and applications of the study are offered
