ABSTRACT
The examination of job stress in organizational psychology focuses on individual outcomes. Shore the patrons of I/O psychology over the decades have been those with the money and budgets, which means the organizations or their representatives rather than individual members of organizations. Research on absenteeism has usually found only weak relationships between absenteeism and job attitudes such as job satisfaction. Beehr and Franz, organizational stress is a loosely integrated research topic covering a great diversity of occupational stressors and individual strains. In the US, Anderson reported an inverted U-shaped relationship between perceived stress of ninety-three small business owner-managers following a flood and interviewer ratings of organizational performance. Jamal found that the self-reported job stressors, role ambiguity, role overload, role conflict, and resource inadequacy are positively related to recorded tardiness among hospital nurses It is obvious that the study of organizational consequences of occupational stress has lagged behind the study of individual consequences in the organizational psychology approach to job stress.
