人们普遍认为，工作条件是员工压力结果的一个因果因素。然而，这一结论几乎完全基于单一的数据来源，自我报告的研究，这表明环境感知和压力结果之间的相关性。本研究从两个来源收集压力源数据，在职者和她的主管。收敛和判别效度发现四个压力源（自主性，工作量，工作小时数，工作的人数），但没有为其他三个（角色模糊，约束，人际冲突）。相关性被发现之间的感知压力和结果，后者包括情感和症状。较小的相关性被发现之间的主管报告的压力和结果。替代因果模型相关的这些结果进行了讨论。因果关系的研究，包括实验设计，纵向设计，和多个数据源的需要进行了讨论。
It is widely accepted that job conditions are a causal factor in stress outcomes for employees. This conclusion, however, is based almost entirely on single data source, self-report studies, which demonstrate correlations between environmental perceptions and stress outcomes. This study collected stressor data from two sources, the job incumbent and her supervisor. Convergent and discriminant validities were found for four stressors (autonomy, workload, number of hours worked, and number of people worked for) but not for three others (role ambiguity, constraints, and interpersonal conflict). Correlations were found between perceptions of stressors and outcomes, the latter including both affective and symptoms. Smaller correlations were found between supervisor reports of stressors and outcomes. Alternative causal models relevant to these results are discussed. The need for causal research including experimental designs, longitudinal designs, and multiple data sources are also discussed.
