Describe two studies that provided surprising evidence showing clerical and secretarial work to be highly stressful occupations
What will be an ideal response?
Surprising to some, clerical and secretarial work are highly stressful occupations. In fact, results from the seminal prospective Framingham Heart Study indicated that coronary heart disease rates were nearly twice as high among women clerical workers as homemakers (Haynes & Feinleib, 1980). Compared to academic and sales work, clerical work rates the highest in work overload and perceived lack of control (Narayanan et al., 1999).
