Article Abstract:

The crossover of job stress and emotional strain from male military officers to their wives was examined using a sample of 101 couples selected randomly by the Israel Defense Computer. The results show that burnout among the male officers was also experienced by their wives. Moreover, it was shown that burnout also spilled over in the other direction, from wives to husbands. In both situations, sense of control was discovered to be the biggest resistance resource affecting both the male officers and their wives.

Moderating effect of decision latitude on stress-strain relationship: does organizational level matter?

Article Abstract:

The effect of decision latitude or degree of control over one's job and role stressors in employee performance and job stress is studied. Role stressors include job ambiguity, job conflict and dissatisfaction. Results show that the effect of decision latitude and role stressors were more significant for rank and file employees than for managers. This difference could be attributed to the resources received by managers that enable them to cope with job stress.
