✦ Synopsis
This study examines identity accumulation, others' acceptance of one's aspired self, work role salience, and job-search self-efficacy in relation to job stress. One hundred and eighty insurance agents working in six branches of an international assurance company completed selfreport questionnaires. Results indicate that identity accumulation and others' acceptance have direct, significant, and negative relationships with job stress. Job-search self-efficacy is found to be effective in moderating the relationship between work-role salience and job stress. Implications and limitations of the study are discussed.
