Abstract
Examines how data on job stress, health, anxiety and daily hassle were collected via survey questionnaires from 1,925 staff at Monash University campuses. The sample included academic, general, administrative, technical and library staff, with both genders and representation from age, employment and seniority groupings. Shows that results indicated significant positive relationships between job stress and anxiety, daily hassle, and health, the latter suggesting that self‐reported stress at work was associated with absence from work, visits to medical practitioners, and frequency of illnesses and accidents. Reports comparisons across campus, gender, age and job type, and makes some overall contrasts between these data and those previously reported for a rural university. Discusses implications for health promotion among university staff.

Abstract
All staff at the University of New England were sent a personal particulars form and questionnaires designed to obtain information about job‐related factors which acted as stressors for them, their general stress, their emotional health, and their physical health. Factor analysis of the job stressors questionnaires revealed that six factors, namely, job significance, workload, work politics, interpersonal dealings at work, work conditions, and university reorganization, were the major stressors for the staff. In general, younger staff members reported more job stress than older staff. Staff belonging to the Faculty of Education, Nursing and Professional Studies at the Armidale campus and general staff at the Armidale campus reported more job stress than other staff. There was some indication that staff employed at the higher job levels were less stressed than those employed at the lower job levels and support staff. Both the job stress and non‐work stress were associated with poor physical health, poor emotional health, and high job dissatisfaction.

Abstract
Purpose
Globalisation has benefitted both developed and emerging markets. However, few recent studies have pointed out that globalisation has failed to deliver promising results. This research aims to examine the impact of globalisation on different performance aspects of an emerging market like India.
Design/methodology/approach
We examined the impact of globalisation on different performance aspects of a country at the national, industry and firm levels. We have defined the performance dimensions for country-level analysis as GDP and unemployment. We have defined the performance dimensions as profitability for industry and firm-level analysis. The effects of globalisation on the critical economic performance aspects in the Indian setting are covered in the first part. In the second part, we used the panel regression approach to evaluate the impact of overseas revenue on the employability and profitability of select Indian auto firms. We have chosen the auto industry for industry analysis because of its extensive integration with other production fields. In the third section, we discussed how globalisation has improved the profitability of two Indian car companies.
Findings
This study finds that globalisation has benefitted nearly every aspect of the Indian economy's performance. India has gained from national, industry and firm globalisation.
Originality/value
This study is the first of its kind to examine the impact of globalisation on a country's performance across different levels, including national, industry and firm levels. We have studied the Indian context to develop a theory that globalisation still benefits emerging markets.
