Relationship of Job Stress and Type-A Behavior to Employees' Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Psychosomatic Health Problems, and Turnover Motivation
研究加拿大医院215名全职护士的工作压力、压力源和A型行为与工作满意度、组织承诺、心身健康问题及离职动机的关系，发现A型行为是压力与结果关系的重要调节变量。
The present study examined the relationship of job stress, job stressors, and Type-A behavior pattern with employees' job satisfaction, organizational commitment, psychosomatic health problems, and turnover motivation among full-time nurses (N = 215) working in a large Canadian hospital. Both job stress and stressors (role ambiguity, overload, conflict, and resource inadequacy) were significantly related to four outcome variables. Type-A behavior was associated with high job stress, high role ambiguity, conflict, resource inadequacy, and psychosomatic health problems. In addition, Type-A behavior was found to be an important moderator of the stress-outcome relationships. Implications of the findings for management and for future research are highlighted.
