(May 2002)
Abstract:
The paper uses data from the International Social Surveys Program (ISSP) to investigate
work-related stress among a group of 15 OECD countries. It examines the determinants of
work-related stress and explores the importance of work-related stress as a predictor of
individuals' quitting behaviour and the rate of absenteeism. We find that those individuals
reporting to experience at least some stress in their current position are 10 - 14 % more likely
to hold intentions to quit or be absent from work than those without any job stress, with the
probability of intending to quit or being absent increasing with successively higher workrelated
stress levels.
