Job Stress, Type‐a Behavior and Employees' Well‐being Among Muslim Immigrants in North America: A Study in Workforce Diversity

Abstract

The present study examined the relationship of job stress and Type‐A behavior pattern with employees' job satisfaction, turnover intention, absence behavior, organizational commitment, psychosomatic health problems, and happiness in life. Data were collected by means of a structured questionnaire from full‐time employed Muslims (N = 325) living in Canada and United States of America. Pearson correlation and moderated multiple regression were the statistical techniques employed to analyze data. Results generally supported the prediction that job stress will be significantly related with the dependent variables. Type‐A behavior was found to be related with only a few dependent variables. In addition, Type‐A behavior was found to be an important moderator of job stress and outcome relationships. Implications of the findings for management and for future research are highlighted.
