“…First, Van der Doef and Maes (1999) identified sixty-three studies on stressful work conducted between 1982 and 1997. Previous empirical research shows that the perception of a stressful work environment has a negative impact on job satisfaction (e.g., Kemery, Bedeian, Mossholder, and Touliatos, 1985;LeRouge, Nelson, and Blanton, 2006;Parasuraman and Alutto, 1984;Tuten and Neidermeyer, 2004). Secondly, extensive data show that job satisfaction decreases intention to leave the organization (e.g., Blau, 2007;Lauver and Kristof-Brown, 2001;Poon, 2004;Tett, and Meyer, 1993) and increases OCB (e.g., Bateman & Organ, 1983;Blakely, Andrews, and Fuller, 2003;Podsakoff, MacKenzie, Paine, and Bachrach, 2000).…”
