A Multidimensional Analysis Of Stress Among Law Enforcement Officers And Insurance Underwriters, Susan K. Daniel
A Multidimensional Analysis Of Stress Among Law Enforcement Officers And Insurance Underwriters, Susan K. Daniel
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
This study compared stress levels between law enforcement officers and the civilian population as measured by systolic blood pressure, the State-Trait Personality Inventory, and the Anger Reaction Scale. The relationship between systolic blood pressure and the self report instruments was also investigated. Thirty Deputy Sheriffs from the street patrol division of the Sheriff's Department served as the law enforcement group and 20 underwriters for the Hartford Insurance Company were the civilian or control group. the Deputy Sheriffs had significantly higher average systolic blood pressure than the Hartford employees with the effects of covariates removed. However, the Hartford employees scored significantly …
Corporate Burnout And Its Nonwork-Related Correlates, Kimberly J. Redmond
Corporate Burnout And Its Nonwork-Related Correlates, Kimberly J. Redmond
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Seventy-two employees working in an engineering firm completed a series of surveys assessing their level of job burnout, number of recent stressful life and work events experienced, level or aerobic fitness, and the degree to which each was overweight. A significant and positive relationship was found between the number of stressful work events experienced and job burnout. Multiple regression analysis showed that the number of stressful work events experienced, level of aerobic fitness, and percentage of pounds overweight jointly and significantly contributed to the relationship with job burnout. A discussion of these results and their implications for future research is …
The Effects Of Physical Fitness On Physiological Arousal And Self-Reports Of Stress, Barbara Rene Staggs
The Effects Of Physical Fitness On Physiological Arousal And Self-Reports Of Stress, Barbara Rene Staggs
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Fitness level and trait anxiety were used as "independent" variables in a multiple regression study with physiological arousal and self-reported anxiety to a stressor as the "dependent" variables. Fitness level was determined by an established rating system of frequency, type, and duration of aerobic activity in which the subject reportedly engaged. Trait anxiety level was assessed by the trait portion of the State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI). Sixty undergraduate subjects were exposed to a situational stressor of reciting a memorized paragraph while viewing themselves being videotaped. Outcome measures of systolic blood pressure and self-reported distress were taken at various points …
Stress, Exercise, Job Satisfaction And Performance: An Interactive Process Model, Monica Samanic
Stress, Exercise, Job Satisfaction And Performance: An Interactive Process Model, Monica Samanic
Retrospective Theses and Dissertations
Stress in organizations is a critical phenomenon of our times. Research to date has focused on specific job-related stressors such as role conflict, ambiguity and supervisory relationships utilizing satisfaction and performance as outcome variables. Results have often been ambiguous and non-conclusive. However, a variety of common physiological responses have been found to play a major role in stress reaction and management. Furthermore, numerous studies have demonstrated a moderating effect of exercise on physiological stress responses. This correlational study, based on a hypothetical Interactive Process Model of Stress Correlates, where fitness is the measure of stress, proposed to link stress-related variables …
