Individual and Organizational Variables' Relationship to Coronary Heart Disease'.
Abstract
Within the field of management there has been increasing interest in the physiological effects of stress, such as coronary heart disease and the organizational effects of stress such as poor productivity, absenteeism and labor turnover rates. It is estimated that costs associated to stress-related illness exceeds 18 billion dollars a year. Research was conducted with 351 Air Force personnel that examined the effect of 30 organizational variables such as job satisfaction, work overload and role ambiguity, and seven personal attributes such as Type A/Type B behavior pattern, locus of control and assertiveness on selected measures of stress which included blood chemistry and self-reported perceived stress.
