Abstract

Occupational health scholars have intensively speculated on the connection between occupational stress and the Type-A Behavioral Pattern. A wide variety of models investigating the underlying relationship between stressors, Type-A, ways of coping and stress symptoms have been tested and data seems to support those that describe a more direct connection between the four. Romanian adapted version of ASSET (A Shortened Stress Evaluation Tool, Cooper & Cartwright, 2002) has been used to measure eight sources of occupational stress, and four dimensions considered to rather be effects of work stress. The Romanian adapted version of SWS (Survey of Work Styles, Jackson & Gray, 1988) was used to measure six dimensions of the TABP from an organizational perspective. A set of N=109 valid parallel data was eventually analyzed searching for (a) relationships between the work stress and TABP dimensions and (b) significant differences between TABPs and TBBPs in terms of levels of work stress. Implications of the results are discussed.
