Relationship of Job Stress and Type-A Behavior to Employees' Job Satisfaction, Organizational Commitment, Psychosomatic Health Problems, and Turnover Motivation

Muhammad Jamal

Concordia University, Montreal, Canada

The present study examined the relationship of job stress, job stressors, and Type-A behavior pattern with employees' job satisfaction, organizational commitment, psychosomatic health problems, and turnover motivation among full-time nurses (N = 215) working in a large Canadian hospital. Both job stress and stressors (role ambiguity, overload, conflict, and resource inadequacy) were significantly related to four outcome variables. Type-A behavior was associated with high job stress, high role ambiguity, conflict, resource inadequacy, and psychosomatic health problems. In addition, Type-A behavior was found to be an important moderator of the stress-outcome relationships. Implications of the findings for management and for future research are highlighted.
