Job Satisfaction, Mental Health, and Occupational Stress Among Senior Civil Servants

Janet Bogg

Cary Cooper

Manchester School of Management, University of Manchester, Institute of Science and Technology, U.K.

This study found that senior U.K. civil servants were significantly more job dissatisfied and displayed more mental and physical ill health than their private sector counterparts. The main sources of stress were "factors intrinsic to the job" such as poorer comparative pay and working conditions, and a strong feeling of possessing little control over their job and their organization. These results are fully discussed.

Key Words: senior civil servants • locus of control • Type A behavior
