| Abstract: | Although it is recognized that employees with higher job demands imposed by organizations perceive higher work stress, how employees' personal work demands relate to their perception of work stress remains unclear. Two competing hypotheses have been proposed concerning the relationship between employees' personal work standards (personal work demands) and perceived work stress. Data from a survey of MBA degree holders in Taiwan supported the hypothesis that employees with higher personal work standards perceive lower work stress. This finding expands knowledge of the link between person variables and work stress. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
