Abstract
Measures of job stress and strain were obtained from 95 management level employees in an underground mine. In addition, 13 potential moderators of stress-strain relations were assessed. Findings indicated that such stresses as under-utilization of skills, job insecurity, role conflict and ambiguity, variation in work load, and lack of participation had moderate to high relationships with the psychological strains of anxiety-irritation-depression, psychosomatic symptoms, and job dissatisfaction. However, none of the moderators, which included measures of Type A personality, flexibility, need for social approval, social support, age, and tenure, had an appreciable effect on the stress-strain linkage. Possible explanations for the failure of the moderator approach, along with comparisons to other investigations, were offered in conclusion.
