Sex differences in work stress

Article Abstract:

Empirical evidence of sex differences in stress dynamics from earlier research on the subject is analyzed, with a framework for studying the sources of the differences proposed. It has been shown by 19 previous studies that women report higher rates of psychological trauma and that men are more likely to report serious physical illness. In explaining these differences, it is shown that gaps, ambiguities, and inconsistencies are evident in existing research, and it is clear that the gender concept must be reconsidered. Directions for further research on the subject are discussed, with it suggested that the framework developed here can serve as the foundation for future work on sex and job stress.
