Female clerical workers' perceived work and nonwork stress and dissatisfaction as predictors of psychological distress.
The present investigation explored the predictability of psychological distress from perceived work and nonwork stress and dissatisfaction for a sample of 108 female clerical workers. A stepwise multiple regression was performed on the data, and it was found that nonwork variables contributed more to perceived psychological distress than did work variables. Implications of this research as related to gender and organizational concerns are discussed.
