Executive stress in different industrial sectors, structures and sizes of business

Abstract

Based on a sample of senior managers from West Midlands businesses, quantifies the level of executive stress in a regional setting. Identifies significant levels of stress generally but also reveals that stress is patterned across industrial sectors and by firm size. Also identifies and quantifies the impact of various “stress drivers” and measures the impact of stress‐related illness episodes across businesses.
