title: Locus of control and occupational stress in Chinese professionals.
abstract: The relationship between scores on locus of control, occupational stress, and stress symptoms was examined in 189 Hong Kong Chinese professionals. Scores on locus of control were associated with occupational stress and psychological stress symptoms but were unrelated to reporting of physical symptoms. While both sexes reported similar occupational stress, women scored as more External and reported more of both types of symptoms. The implications of the results were discussed.
