“…The reliability and validity of the Chinese version of this shortened version have been demonstrated in Chinese societies (Lu, Tseng and Cooper 1999;Siu et al 1999). To avoid a lengthy questionnaire 12 items that measured six sources of stress were extracted for use from this scale, and each subscale was assessed with two items.…”

Privatization that has taken place in the People's Republic of China has brought about improved profitability and effectiveness of enterprises. However, it is not known whether employees' occupational stressors and strains in private enterprises would differ from those in state-owned enterprises. This study aims to examine the major sources of manager's occupational stress in private and state-owned enterprises, and comparing the intensity of these stressors and strains. The relationships between stressors and strains were also investigated in both economic sectors. The questionnaires were completed by 234 managers in state-owned enterprises and 179 managers in private enterprises from eight cities of the PRC. The questionnaires were used to measure sources of stress, job satisfaction, and physical and psychological strain. The results showed that managers in private enterprises experienced higher levels of occupational stressors (mainly 'Organizational structure and climate' and 'Relationship with others') and psychological strains than those in state-owned enterprises. Moreover, 'Organizational structure and climate' was also found to be a major stressor when predicting both psychological and physical strain in both economic sectors.

The aim of this study was twofold: first, to delineate the underlying motives of the act of presenteeism and develop suitable measures for both the motives and the behavioral manifestation of the act; second, to systematically examine work and health consequences of the act of presenteeism in a Chinese work context. Using structured questionnaires, we employed a 2-wave panel study design in which antecedents, motives, and consequences of the act of presenteeism were measured in a diverse sample of 245 full-time Chinese employees in Taiwan. Hierarchical regression analyses showed that self-efficacy and neuroticism were significantly associated with approach and avoidance motives for the act of presenteeism, respectively. Moreover, analyzing the panel data with fixed effects specifications, we found that the act of presenteeism was negatively associated with employees' physical health, mental health, and job satisfaction, whereas it was positively associated with exhaustion. In conclusion, the present study shed some light on motives, behavioral manifestations, antecedents, and consequences of the act of presenteeism to extend the existing literature.

“…Furthermore, Quill, Lipkin, and Lamb (1984) found that men visited doctors more in the year after their children were born than during their partner's pregnancy. The strong relationship between physical and mental health (Marks, Goldberg, & Hillier, 1979;Lu, Tseng, & Cooper, 1999) is suggestive that men experiencing a high level of physical symptoms may actually be having difficulties adjusting to their new role as a father. Thus, in the present study, we expanded the scope of personal well-being to include depression, anxiety, and somatic symptoms in examining the impact of parenthood transition.…”
