“…The scales relevant to this study were included in the evaluation, viz., 'subjectively experienced stress' (subscales 1 and 4) and 'dissatisfaction' (subscales 2 and 3). Subjective appraisals of stress can be considered indicative of emotional and physiological strain (Hodapp, Neuser and Weyer, 1988).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the implementation process to new technologies [e.g. drawing board/computer‐aided design (CAD), microfiche/electronic data processing] on the employees concerned. Since the emphasis of the study lay in the intrinsic relationship of the implementation process with stress reactions, the parameters were measured at the place of work in a longitudinal design. Employees (n = 279) in seven companies (work fields: CAD, clerical work, telephone information desk) were tested three times — two months prior to, during, and 12 months after implementation. Aspects of strain and satisfaction were taken into account at each measurement phase. A special test‐instrument was designed to describe the ’style of implementation‘ (manner in which implementation took place) particular to each company. The level of strain was found to increase during the implementation process. The amount of this increase was found to correlate with the company's style of implementation as well as with the type of the individual's work activity. The highest levels were found among those employees little included in the implementation process and those whose work is described as monotonous.

“…Other studies have reported significant relationships between levels of occupational stress and reactions of anger (Hodapp et al, 1988) high levels of work-family conflict, low levels of life and marital adjustment (Greenhaus et al, 1987) and reports of physical symptomatology (Innes et al, 1989) As more workers collaborate with colleagues from other countries, more cross-cultural conflicts and problems may be expected, creating new sources of job stress (Haratani and Kawakami, 1999). Stress can also occur if the employees feel "underloaded" through lack of stimulus or social contact.…”

This study examined the sources of organisational role stress among Insurance employees and to compare the level of stress vis-à-vis different demographic factors of the employees. The scope of study was insurance companies belonging to different cities of Punjab mainly in Jalandhar, Patiala, Ludhiana and Mandi Gobindgarh. The sample comprised of 250 respondents drawn from Private as well as public companies. The results revealed that there is a significant correlation among the sources of organisational role stress. It was found that Role Isolation was the main concern of the Insurance Employees that lead to stress at the work place. The results also indicated that certain Demographic variables do influence the level of stress among managers. Based on research findings, the current paper also puts forth relevant suggestions and policy recommendations aimed at improving the stress scenario in the industry.

“…The two scales included in the statistical analyses were 'subjectively experienced stress' and 'dissatisfaction'. Subjective appraisals as measured by the SBUS scales are indicators of perceived stress at work (Hodapp et al 1988).…”

In investigating gender‐related effects of information technology implementation the contextual factors (e.g. job design, implementation management, external workload) need to be taken into account. In the Vienna Implementation Studies the effects of technology implementation on users' stress levels and satisfaction were investigated in longitudinal research designs. In our previous study, the 1st Vienna Implementation Study, negative effects of the technology implementations were shown in more women than men. It was argued that women due to their lower qualified jobs and due to the lack of participation, also experienced more negative consequences. In the 2nd Vienna Implementation Study effects of ‘continuous’ implementation of information technology on 212 clerical workers (n women: 142; n men: 70) were investigated. No gender‐related effects of information technology implementation were found, nor did women and men differ in job characteristics and in participation in the implementation process. It can be concluded from the two studies that potential differences between women and men are caused by differences in the contextual factors of job design and participation. Further, it emerged from our studies that women — at least in the field of clerical jobs — have benefited from the introduction of technology.
