摘要
The present study examined job stress and job satisfaction and their relation to measures of neuroticism, Type A behavior, and I-E locus of control as well as sex differences among Kuwaiti men (n = 189) and women (n = 210) employees. Women had significantly higher means on scales of job stress, neuroticism, and external locus of control, while men scored significantly higher on job satisfaction, Analysis yielded significant and positive correlations of job stress with neuroticism and locus of control of both men and women. Job satisfaction scores correlated significantly but negatively with external locus of control for both sexes, while job satisfaction had a positive correlation with Type A behavior for women only. The significant correlation between job stress and job satisfaction was negative.
