“…The job stress levels were higher than found in previous research: in our study about 55% of teachers agreed teaching was very stressful, whereas Jepson and Forrest (2006) reported that 41% of teachers indicated high levels of occupational stress, and Kyriacou (2001) and Manthei, Gilmore, Tuck, and Adair (1996) reported that about 25% of teachers regard teaching as stressful or very stressful. The samples we collected in each setting were diverse and likely representative of the population from which they were collected, leading us to conclude that differences between our samples and samples from previous research are the result of methodology (e.g., question format or response bias), or actual differences in the population, with Canadian teachers experiencing both higher stress and higher job satisfaction.…”

“…This finding confirms the research of Manthei and Gilmore (1996), but not the recent one of Mahmood et al (2013). In addition, no statistically significant difference was found between the variables of emotional intelligence and educational level.…”

“…In particular, researches like the one of Manthei and Gilmore (1996) had found that employees with less years of experience reported higher levels of occupational stress, while others, like the one of McCormik (1997) showed that occupational stress is more likely to increase with age. Other studies, like the one of Clunies-Ross et al (2008), found no statistically significant difference between the two variables.…”

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the occupational stress experienced by bank employees in Greece and its connection with emotional intelligence and demographic factors. More specifically, the feeling of occupational stress and the level of emotional intelligence among Greek bank employees are investigated both separately and in correlation. In addition, it is investigated how demographic characteristics are likely to affect the feeling of occupational stress and the level of emotional intelligence of employees in bank institutions in Greece. In addition, the study investigates whether the individual dimensions of emotional intelligence are likely to predict the level of occupational stress experienced by Greek bank employees. The sample of the present study consisted of 192 employees of Greek banks and credit institutions. The instruments used for data collection were the Perceived Stress Scale (Cohen et al., 1983) (Cronbach's α =0.85) and the Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test (Schuutte et al., 1998) (Chronbach's α = 0.90). The Perceived Stress Scale consisted of 10 questions, six of which were formulated negatively and measured the level of stress experienced by the employees, while the rest four were formulated positively and measured the employees' control of stress. The answers for the first six questions were given in a five-level likert scale: 0 = Never, 4 = Very often, while the remaining four in another five level-Likert scale: 0 = Very Often, 4 = Never. The Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test consisted of 33 questions measuring the level of the employees' emotional intelligence. The responses were given in a five-level Likert scale: 0 = Never, 4 = Very often. The results ISSN 2162-3058 2013 www.macrothink.org/ijhrs 80 of the study showed that occupational stress among Greek bank employees was likely to be affected by some demographic factors and partially predicted by some dimensions of emotional intelligence. However, further investigation should be carried out in the Greek population, so that the phenomenon of occupational stress is well studied and decreased.

“…In the profession of teaching, stress is an important issue for all stakeholders in education. A teacher's performance may suffer owing to high levels of stress and this may impact on student learning (Borg & Riding, 1991;Brown, Ralph, & Brember, 2002;Manthei & Gilmore, 1996). For school administrators, there appears to be a high cost of teacher stress in terms of human resources.…”
