“…For example, Jex, Beehr, and Roberts (1992) found the word ''stress'' can mean different things to different people and thus must be properly operationalized. This is made more evident when traversing cultural boundaries where the word stress might be back-translated into stressor (e.g., pressure) or into strain (e.g., tension) (Glazer, 2002). Social support is no different.…”

This study investigates subjective perceptions of supervisor emotional support and co-worker instrumental support among 15,606 employees located within five geographic and/or social regions of a multinational firm. Beehr and Glazer's (2001. A cultural perspective of social support in relation to occupational stress. In P. Perrewe´, D. C. Ganster, & J. Moran (Eds.), Research in occupational stress and well-being (pp. 97-142). Greenwich, CO: JAI Press) propositions regarding the relationship between social support and culture suggest that people in Anglo and Western European nations would perceive greater supervisor emotional support than people in Latin and Eastern European nations, followed by people in Asian nations. In addition, Eastern and Western Europeans are expected to perceive greater co-worker instrumental support than Latinos and Anglos, who are expected to perceive greater support than Asians. This study provides partial support to the hypotheses. Schwartz's (1994. Beyond individualism/collectivism: New cultural dimensions of values.

“…International Journal of Intercultural Relations 32 (2008) 49-66 1.1. Qualitative research on occupational stress Numerous problems are associated with quantitative survey methodology (the dominant type of data reported; Wheeler, 1997bWheeler, , 1998a, including generic use of the word 'stress,' assessment of generic stressors, researcherimposed notions of relevant stressors and strains (Jex, Beehr, & Roberts, 1992), and little cross-cultural validation (Glazer, 2002). First, as Jex et al (1992) found, many scholars have erroneously used the generic word 'stress' to capture either stressors, strains, or both, however empirically they found that in the general population the word stress is most strongly associated with strains and anxiety.…”

“…The need for exploratory research that does not impose an a priori list of stressors is further warranted by a recent trend in studying stress across cultures (e.g., Baba, Galperin, & Lituchy, 1999;. From a cross-cultural perspective, stress is likely a universal phenomenon, however what causes stress or anxiety among nurses in different cultures is still inconclusive (Glazer, 2002).…”

Content analysis on nurses' perception about the nature of occupational stress was performed in this study to identify emic and etic experiences of occupational stress. Nurses from Hungary, Israel, Italy, U.K., and the U.S., gave their responses in writing to the question: ''What causes you the most stress or anxiety on your job?'' in the dominant tongue of their country. Results indicate both etic and emic sources of job-related stress. 'Performing certain tasks' and 'type of patients' were invariant sources of stress across all five nations. Furthermore, nurses in the U.K. reported 'skillset of staff' as a source of stress and Hungarian nurses indicated 'low salary' and 'lack of resources' as sources of job stress more frequently than nurses in the other nations of this study.

“…Most of the literature on organizational psychology has been focused on western countries, which have relatively more stable economic conditions. Especially, research in work-related psychology, conducted in different cultural context and economic conditions, is weak and has a lot of room for expansion, innovation and improvement (Glazer, 2002). After the economic crises in the late 1990s, Turkey went through a major change process in the strategies and structures of public and private organizations.…”

This study examines the effects of fairness perceptions on the organizational commitment of downsizing survivors during the February 2001 economic crisis. Samples were drawn from bluecollar employees in the service industry. In the statistical analysis, distributive justice was found to be significantly related to the affective commitment of survivors, while procedural justice was not found to be positively associated with the affective commitment of survivors in the service industry. The analysis also yields that interactional justice is strongly and positively associated with the affective commitment of survivors. The managerial and theoretical implications of study are also discussed.
