The Role of Personality, Occupation, and Organization in Understanding the Relationship Between Job Stress, Performance and Absenteeism
Article Abstract:
The link between job content and job context, stress and and various attitudinal and behavioral outcomes, absence and performance is analyzed with special consideration given to personality, occupation and organizational differences. An occupational stress questionnaire was given to twelve hundred Quebec hospital employees and personnel attendance records were employed in this research. Perceived stressors are assessed as to their predictive values. Aggregate analysis is compared to individual analysis. Three levels of aggregation considered herein are personality, occupation, and organization. A schematic framework for occupational stress research in the hospital field is featured as is an analysis of conditions functioning in the model used. Tables of internal reliability, coefficients alpha are featured, as are tables of multiple regression analysis statistics of performance and absenteeism. Perceived job stress is linked more strongly to qualitative performance than to absence levels. Absence is more affected by social control measures. Findings point to an opposite and quasi- symmetrical effect in stress on absenteeism.
