Stress and the medical technologist: I. A general overview.
Up to 682 medical technologists were surveyed twice at a six month interval regarding a number of factors dealing with job-related stress, nonjob-related stress, personality factors and general health conditions and behaviors. This report summarizes the first data collection period. Overall work stress was found to be associated with a number of specific job and organizational stress sources. Additionally, those high in work stress differed from those low in work stress on a number of personality and health characteristics. Some additional differences were found in comparisons of supervisory and non-supervisory employees, and among those working different shifts.
