title: [Stress load of management personnel. Results of a survey].
abstract: Out of 258 managers with top or middle management jobs in industry and economics, 8% felt themselves as being very strongly under stress and a further 23% as being strongly under stress. Moreover, every tenth manager felt that he was powerless against his stress problems. In 38% the stress was compensated for by sporting activities, however, in 9% medication compensated for the stress, whereby only in half of the cases had the tablets been prescribed by a doctor. It is remarkable, that 10% of the managers interviewed had not had a holiday in the previous year and similarly 10% stated that they had no time for sport in their spare time. These persons had to be specially treated with "preventive" medical measures, especially since overweight, high blood pressure and a high tobacco consumption have to be taken into consideration in such cases, as shown by our comparative studies.
