Executive Stress: Extending the International Comparison
将高管压力的国际比较扩展到新西兰，发现新西兰高管压力水平低于除瑞典外的其他国家，且工作不满率最低。逐步回归分析表明，失业威胁是心理健康的最佳预测因素，人际冲突和外部代理冲突是工作不满的最佳预测因素。
Much current research has considered the problems of occupational health and stress within particular work groups or individual countries. In a recent paper, an international comparison was made of the stress of senior executives in such countries as the United Kindgom, the United States, Sweden, Japan, Nigeria, and Egypt. In this study, it was shown that executives from less industrialized countries had higher levels of mental ill-health and job dissatisfaction. In the present study, this international comparison was extended using executives from New Zealand, a country with a reputedly more relaxed lifestyle but with serious economic problems. The comparison indicated that the New Zealand executives had lower levels of stress than those in all other countries but Sweden, and the lowest rates of job dissatisfaction. Stepwise multiple regression analyses provided clear and useful results indicating that threat of job loss was the best predictor of mental health, while interpersonal conflict and external agency conflict were the best predictors of job dissatisfaction. It would be most helpful for this international comparison to be extended by other researchers.
