The present study examined job stress and job satisfaction and their relation to measures of neuroticism, Type A behavior, and I–E locus of control as well as sex differences among Kuwaiti men ( n = 189) and women ( n = 210) employees. Women had significantly higher means on scales of job stress, neuroticism, and external locus of control, while men scored significantly higher on job satisfaction. Analysis yielded significant and positive correlations of job stress with neuroticism and locus of control of both men and women. Job satisfaction scores correlated significantly but negatively with external locus of control for both sexes, while job satisfaction had a positive correlation with Type A behavior for women only. The significant correlation between job stress and job satisfaction was negative.

167 officers of financial institutions in the West answered a questionnaire measuring Type A behavior and a semantic differential scale for job satisfaction. Men and women had similar characteristics except the men had more education and higher salaries. Type A scores were correlated with not being at plateau for men only. Job satisfaction was not related to Type A scores for men or women. Neither was salary related to Type A scores. Working long hours had a significant association with careers not at plateau for men but not for women.

In an era in which rising costs, shrinking budgets, and personnel shortages are common, it is increasingly important to provide a positive work situation to ensure worker stability. Research indicates that job burnout is a negative response that is harmful to the employee and to the organization. Depersonalization, emotional exhaustion, and feeling a lack of accomplishment at work are all dimensions of job burnout. This study examined the association of job involvement, job stress, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment with burnout among correctional staff. The findings highlight the significance of these variables in relation to burnout. Specifically, job satisfaction had an inverse relationship with emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a sense of reduced accomplishment at work, whereas job stress had a significant positive relationship with depersonalization and emotional exhaustion. Job involvement also had a positive association with emotional exhaustion, whereas commitment to the organization had no relationship with any of the three dimensions of burnout.
