RODRIGUEZ FEIJOO, Nélida. Job insecurity and stress level. Interdisciplinaria [online]. 2004, n.esp, pp.249-257. ISSN 1668-7027.

This paper studies the influence of some socio-demographic variables such as age, gender, education, and occupational level, on stress levels. The impact of other relevant variables such as social support and coping strategies, were also analyzed in connection to stress in a sample of 200 subjects suffering from job insecurity. Results show that most of the above mentioned variables have a significant influence on the level of stress. Apparently, stress was higher in people with poorer social support; the coping style also proved very important.

Palabras clave : Social psychology; job insecurity; level of stress.
