✦ Synopsis

Stressful incidents at work were examined using an open-ended technique for three dierent occupations: clerical workers, university professors and sales associates. The study revealed both similarities and dierences in stressors and coping techniques reported across occupations. Interpersonal con¯ict, work overload and time wasters were common across all occupations. Lack of control and work overload were reported as major stressors by the clerical group and interpersonal con¯ict as a major stressor by the academic and sales groups. Gender dierences were also found.
