The purpose was to determine the relationship between administrative management and work stress of workers in Metropolitan Lima. While studies in psychology frequently relate work stress to climate and work satisfaction, in this study, we sought to relate administrative management, when it is inadequate, as the generator of the negative work environment that causes workers to become physically and mentally ill when they fail to adapt. The result was that there is a very significant relationship between administrative management and work stress, as well as that coordination and control have a high correlation with work stress.
