Organizational structure and organizational climate as potential predictors of job stress: Evidence from Malaysia

Organizational structure and organizational climate as potential predictors of job stress:... The aim of this study is to determine the effects of organizational structure (formalization and centralization) and organizational climate on job stress in a non‐Western context. Data were collected from a sample of 151 salespersons working in the stock broking industry of Malaysia. Regression results demonstrated that both structural variables (formalization and centralization) have a positive influence on job stress. Organizational climate dimension, however, has no effect on stress. Implications for managerial practice and future research are provided. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png International Journal of Commerce and Management Emerald Publishing

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effects of organizational structure (formalization and centralization) and organizational climate on job stress in a non‐Western context. Data were collected from a sample of 151 salespersons working in the stock broking industry of Malaysia. Regression results demonstrated that both structural variables (formalization and centralization) have a positive influence on job stress. Organizational climate dimension, however, has no effect on stress. Implications for managerial practice and future research are provided.
