| Summary: | This study examines the impacts of organisational structure (formalisation and
centralisation) and organisational climate in predicting job stress in a non-Western
environment. It also explores the moderating effects of self-efficacy in the proposed
relationships. A total of 151 securities sales personnel in Malaysia were sampled for this
study. The findings indicated a positive relationship between both structural variables
and stress. The organisational climate dimensions were found to be unrelated to stress.
The role of self-efficacy as a moderator in the hypothesised relationships had limited
support. Implications of this work and directions for future research are discussed. |
