About this issue
Stress has become a prominent feature of modern work place. Present study was conducted to examine the stress and health relationship as moderated by coping styles. Stress related to life events was measured by using the Life Changes Experiences Survey (Dohrenwend et al., 1978) whereas mental health of managers was measured with the help of General Health Questionnaire (12 items version, by Goldberg, 1972). To measure the coping styles Coping Scale was used. The results of correlation indicate that mental health is significantly and positively correlated with job positive stress and coping. Further results point out that difference was found significant for mental health in case of high (Q3) and low (Q1) groups of job negative stress, job positive stress of life events and coping. The results of regression analysis (step-wise) specify that maximum variance in mental health is significantly accounted by coping, job negative stress and job positive stress. Moderator regression analysis indicates that coping significantly moderated the relationship between job negative stress and mental health, total negative stress and mental health, job positive stress and mental health, and personal positive stress and mental health. Thus, we can say that stress significantly affects the health status of managers and coping has a somewhat moderating effect in stress- health relationship.
