Job Stress, Job Performance, and Auditor Personality Characteristics.
研究审计师人格特征如何影响工作压力，以及压力与绩效之间的倒U型关系，为理解审计行业压力管理提供实证依据。
Abstract This research investigated the determinants and consequences of stress in the auditing profession. In contrast to previous studies, which have focused exclusively on non-personality variables, study one examined personality dispositions as potential determinants of stress. A significant positive relationship was found between job stress and Type A personality, while control, commitment, and challenge personality dispositions were negatively related to job stress. Study two investigated the relationship of stress to auditors' job performance. While an inverted U-shape function between stress and job performance is often assumed, past research provides scanty and inconclusive results about this theoretical assumption in business settings. Study two presents empirical evidence on the relationship between these two important variables. Results support the presence of an inverted U relationship between stress and job performance in the auditing profession.
