“…They reported that "female clients reported average scores for occupational stress, strain, and coping, men reported higher stress and strain scores and lower coping scores" (Niles & Anderson, 1993, p. 83). Richard & Krieshok (1989) also found gender differences, however they found that women in higher occupational ranks experience more strain than men when they controlled for age, stress, and coping. Ryan (1996) found that male LPCs had significantly higher stress scores than females, with males scoring higher on Role Ambiguity and Responsibility.…”

“…In an attempt to organize all of these theories Ghadially and Kumar (1987) suggested that there were at least three distinct orientations, which were: (a) stimulus-based, (b) response-based, and (c) interactional. Subsequent literature supports the idea that there are three different theoretical approaches to the concept of stress (Richard & Krieshok, 1989;Ryan, 1996;Trivette, 1993).…”

“…Biggs et al (1995) found that age for rehabilitation counselors was significantly positively correlated with job satisfaction. However, age was not shown to be a factor that was correlated with occupational stress, strain and coping in a sample consisting of 153 participants (Fogerty et al, 1999), 83 participants (Richard & Krieshok, 1989), and 113 participants (Hemmelgarn & Laing, 1991). Decker and Borgen (1993) also found that age was not substantially contributing to the variance of strain when using hierarchical regression analysis.…”

“…Response-based "Stress is seen as a psychological or physiological reaction to a stressor or stressors" (Richard & Krieshok, 1989). This was also the viewpoint that Selye and others utilized as the foundation for their work as stress researchers (Chesney & Rosenman, 1983;Selye, 1974Selye, , 1976Selye, , 1983Selye, , 1993.…”

“…Decker & Borgen (1993) reported that although there is a commonly found relationship between stress, strain, and coping; research supporting the interacting effects "between stress and coping and their impact on strain" is not consistently supported (p. 471). However, results supporting the assumption are amble and include, but are not limited to, studies that utilized path analysis (Fogarty et al, 1999), hierarchical regression (Decker & Borgen, 1993), and multivariate analysis of covariance (Richard & Krieshok, 1989). Some theorists have examined personality and the possible correlation to coping (Farruggia, 1986;Lazarus, 1986b).…”

The Occupational Stress Inventory Revised Edition (OSI-R) and an Individual Data Form were used to determine the turnover intentions of rehabilitation counselors based on an interactive model of stress, strain, and coping. Occupational stress, strain, coping resources, and turnover intentions were examined in relationship with various demographic variables collected from a national sample of 982 members of the American Rehabilitation Counselors Association (ARCA). Demographic variables included age, gender, ethnicity, certification status as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC), years of experience, practice setting, the number of clients on a counselor's caseload, and the amount of hours worked per week.Data were collected through a mail survey, with a response rate of 67% (N = 657). However, of those respondents only 22% (N=145) had complete data and met the inclusion criteria. Inclusion criterion consisted of considering oneself to be employed full-time as a practicing rehabilitation counselor. Based on the usable data (N=145), respondents were on average 44 years old and Caucasian, with 63% being female. Over half of the respondents were certified as rehabilitation counselors, with an average number of nine years of certification. The average number of years of experience as a rehabilitation counselor was approximately ten and respondents worked an average of 45 hours per week with an average caseload size of 88 clients.Path analysis was used to analyze causal relationships among turnover related variables. The hypothesized model included age, experience, number of clients on a caseload, occupational stress, strain, coping resources, and turnover intention. The tested model explained 37.5% of the variance in turnover intentions. The results suggest that the turnover intentions of rehabilitation counselors is meaningfully accounted for by variables contained in the model. Occupational stress produced the largest significant effect (B=.404) and had the most influence on turnover intentions. This indicates that it is occupational stress inherent in the job functions of rehabilitation counselors, and not individual coping resources or demographic variables that account for turnover in the field of rehabilitation. Therefore rehabilitation agencies should examine the roles that they place rehabilitation counselors in versus the individual characteristics of rehabilitation counselors in order to reduce turnover in the field.

Traditionally, the professoriate has not been viewed as a stressful occupation. Academic freedom and tenure seemed to provide work conditions which were free of common stress producing pressures. Situations recognized as stressfO'in other occupations have now become common in academe. The study sought, inter alia, to identify the nature and extent of occupational stress in the professoriate. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire mailed to faculty in four Ontario universities. The respondents were from the professorial ranks in four areas of study. The research questions and hypotheses sought to test relationships between personal and occupational variables and perceived stress. It was found that quantity rather than the nature of the academic work was stressful. Teaching was the least stressful of the work functions and research the most, particularly among professors in the humanities. The hours spent on the job and tasks which had a time constraint were significant sources of stress for this sample. Rank rather than tenure status appeared to be more significantly related to perceived stress.
