    Working patterns and working hours: their impact on UK managers (1999)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Leadership & organization development journal 20 (1999), S. 6-10

    Notes: Reports on the UMIST-Institute of Management five-year study into the changing experiences of UK managers and the impact of organizational change. Examines the patterns of actual working hours generally and by managerial level before going on to explore the reasons managers give to explain their work patterns (over contract hours, evening and weekend working). Contains an assessment of how managers trade-off work and non-work activity and the impact of long working hours on managers' health, morale, productivity, social life and relationships with their partners and children. The analysis reveals a strong relationship between actual hours worked and an increasingly negative impact on all the factors tested.

    The impact of organizational change on the work experiences and perceptions of public sector managers (2000)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Personnel review 29 (2000), S. 613-636 
    Details
    ISSN: 0048-3486
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: The paper is based on a five year, UMIST-Institute of Management study into the changing nature of the quality of working life and seeks to uncover differences in the incidence and impact of organizational change on the perceptions and experiences of managers in the public sector, the private sector and the (former public) utilities. The research indicates that there are significant differences in the impact of organizational change on managers in the three sectors with public sector managers and managers from the utilities having been more adversely affected. An analysis of managers' perceptions of their "organization as a place to work", prevailing managerial styles in their organization and managers' perceptions of the "changing nature of their job" also reveals wide differences between managers in the three different sectors.

    Chief executive lifestyle stress (1995)
    Bingley : Emerald
    Leadership & organization development journal 16 (1995), S. 18-28 
    Details
    ISSN: 0143-7739
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Economics
    Notes: In the last ten years there has been some focus of attention on thepressures faced by chief executive officers and the consequences offailure to survive in a hard-driving and highly competitive businessworld and international climate. Presents the results of a survey of 118chief executives from The Times top 100 European companies and93 of their partners, in order to understand more about their lifestyleand the stressors faced by this élite group. Comparisons are madewith responses to a ten-country survey concluded in 1984, in addition tocomparisons made between chief executives based in Great Britain,"other" EEC countries and those working in Scandinavia. Theresults indicated that 25 per cent of chief executives believed thatthey were at risk from job burnout and this perception was strongest inGreat Britain and among those aged 50 or less. Levels of anxiety anddepression also tended to be higher for this younger group of chiefexecutives. It is clear that these individuals are beginning to questionthe notion of "success at any cost" and acknowledge thatquality of life must be an important consideration in their lifestyle.

    Managerial stress in Hong Kong and Taiwan: a comparative study (1999)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 14 (1999), S. 6-25 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: This study investigated occupational stress in managers in Hong Kong and Taiwan using the Occupational Stress Indicator-2 (OSI-2). The results showed the reliabilities and predictive validity of the OSI-2 subscales were reasonably high in both samples. The logical relationships between job satisfaction, mental and physical well-being found in the two samples have provided support to findings obtained in Western countries. Moreover, the direct impacts of coping strategies, Type A behaviour and locus of control on job strains also corroborated previous studies in Western societies. Further, there were gender differences in managerial stress in Hong Kong: female managers scored higher in sources of stress and quitting intention; but had lower job satisfaction, worse mental and physical well-being than male managers. These differences could not be found in Taiwanese managers, yet Taiwanese female managers did report more stress related to the "managerial role" than their male counterparts.

    The changing nature of work and stress (2000)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 15 (2000), S. 227-241

    Notes: Considers the architecture and production of everyday life and its positive outcomes, as well as ways of disrupting it, resulting in the loss of these outcomes. Indirectly, such disruption might be brought about by the possible effects of the huge, interacting global changes (in the fields of macro-economics, technology, culture and politics) on our organisations. These changes force organisations to change themselves too, in order to survive. Some of these forms of adaptation are discussed. Looking at their consequences on the everyday life of their employees, the article roughly distinguishes two kinds of consequences. The article indicates a number of possible sources of stress, and some approaches and interventions that may mitigate their possible harmful effects. Moreover, it concludes that such interventions can have more general positive effects for the organisation, because stress-related complaints can be indicators of underlying factors that may negatively affect other organisational goals as well.

    Topics: Economics
    Notes: Until recently most evaluations of EAPs have been qualitative. In the USthere has been a move towards insisting on hard data, i.e. cost-benefitratios. The nature of EAPs makes identification of a clear outcomeoriented model of intervention difficult if not impossible. Discussesdifferent methods of evaluating EAPs and compares their usefulness.

    The demographics of occupational stress among police superintendents (1998)
    Bradford : Emerald
    Journal of managerial psychology 13 (1998), S. 90-101 
    Details
    ISSN: 0268-3946
    Source: Emerald Fulltext Archive Database 1994-2005
    Topics: Psychology , Economics
    Notes: The relationship between diverse demographic variables and the occupational stress indicator subscales (Cooper et al., 1988) were examined among several hundred UK senior police officers. Officers who prior to their promotion to superintendent had spent most of their time within the criminal detective branch displayed the highest Type A behaviour (aggressive, dominant and assertive), and traffic officers the worst subjective reports of psychological and physical health. Superintendents whose present role is in the CID displayed the highest level of job satisfaction. There was some indication that women senior police officers used stress-coping techniques - particularly task strategies and home-work - more frequently than did men; otherwise no gender differences were found in terms of the other scales of job stress and satisfaction. Marital status was related to Type A behaviour and coping techniques, and parenthood with job-related pressure and job satisfaction. More specifically, parents reported less stress in the home-work interface than non-parents, and were more likely to report more satisfaction in the organisational structure of the police service. The impact of tenure on "controllability" and Type A was moderated by police rank, that is, ambitiousness was significantly negatively correlated with tenure for superintendents but not so for chief-superintendents. Finally, educational qualifications/ level was related to job satisfaction. Overall job satisfaction (especially satisfaction with personal relationships at work as well as satisfaction with the organisational structure) was lowest for the most highly educated personnel (recipients of a higher degree).
