MANOVA Results
This is an excerpt from the paper...
MANOVA results found statistically significant relationships between perceived levels of stress and both jobrelated injury experience and gender. A predicting equation was developed to predict perceived levels of stress based upon subject gender and jobrelated injury experience. The accuracy of the predicting equation in relation to sample means ranged from 95.3 percent to 17.7 percent, with the greatest accuracy associated with injured subjects.It was concluded that organizational managements would be well advised to establish assistance programs for employees with jobrelated injury experience. It is these employees who are at greatest risk for the development of harmful (to both employees and organization) stress. It was concluded further that the predicting equation may be usefully applied as a preliminary indication of perceived stress levels among employees with jobrelated injury experience. page 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................... 1 Statement of the Problem .......................... 1 Research Questions and Hypotheses ................. 6 Study Purpose ..................................... 7 Limitations ....................................... 7 2 LITERATURE REVIEW ................................. 9 Introduction to the Problem of Organizational Stress ....................

have ideological significance or else it will have no influence in preventing disease.
Once the causal role of job stresses has been established, it is necessary to discover the specific stresses which are involved in each job. High stress jobs cannot be abolished; but if we knew exactly the dimensions of stress involved, we might be able to alter some of these stresses in such a way as to prevent disease. Thus, we need to know how the prevalence and the strength of a whole series of job stresses vary across different jobs.
Historical Perspective
As with so many aspects of medicine, the concern with occupational health begins with Hippocrates in the fifth century B.C. His books, Airs, Waters, and Places, was written as a health guide for Greek mercantile colonists who had set up trading posts in remote places. (It was the view of the Hippocratic physician that the characteristics of health and disease are conditioned by external government.) Until the late nineteenth century when the germ theory took over, Airs, Waters, and Places was reissued as a practical guide to physicians. It stressed the importance of man's environment as a factor in disease, including physical, climatologic and social elements, and what toda
