Psychological and physiological stress reactions of male and female assembly workers: a comparison between two different forms of work organization
Article Abstract:
The responses of 36 male and 29 female assembly workers to psychological and physiological stress during and after work at a car engine factory have been examined. The study compares the traditional assembly line with fixed work stations against a more flexible work organization with small autonomous groups. Results reveal that flexible work structures produce better stress profiles among the assembly workers. This finding is more evident among the female workers.

Shiftwork and department-type related to job stress, work attitudes and behavioral intentions: a study of nurses
Article Abstract:
A study examining the interaction effects of shiftwork and department-type with job stress, stressors, work attitudes and behavioral intention was conducted on 1148 Canadian nurses. Results indicate that nurses on rotating shifts experience higher job stress, physical and emotional problems and low motivation and performance. Routine work seems to have more beneficial effects on personal and professional dimensions.

The justice perspective of job stress
Article Abstract:
The effect of role justice as a new variable is examined on the symptoms of strain. Interactive or additive effects were expected against the four role stressors. The usage of multiple regression on data gathered supported the additive model. A sample of hospital nurses was used in the study. Findings indicate the necessity of expanding the role stress model to incorporate social appraisal.
