 The goal of the present study was to explore work stress specificity in terms of personal demographics and occupational factors, using 347 business managers as subjects. Results show that: (1) male managers scored lower than female managers in measures of “calmness”(sometimes referred to as the “well-being” dimension), but male managers also perceived themselves as suffering from higher levels of “recognition” stress;(2) older managers reported higher levels of job satisfaction and physical and mental health compared to younger managers;(3) senior managers perceived higher levels of “personal responsibility stress” compared to their junior counterparts, but still reported having better physical and mental health; (4) reported job satisfaction increased with rank;(5) significant differences in job satisfaction were noted among managers in different occupations─for example, social service managers enjoy greater “organization satisfaction”than managers in manufacturing.
