The effects of unions on blue collar role stresses and somatic strain
This study explored the effects of union membership versus nonmembership on role based stress (i.e. ambiguity, overload, and interrole conflict), somatic complaints, and on the relationship between role stress and somatic complaints. The data analyzed came from the 1977 Quality of Employment Survey (Quinn and Staines, 1979). Only those respondents ( N = 251) who held full‐time nonsupervisory jobs in manufacturing were included in our sample. On t…
Observed communication in the workplace: Content, source, and direction
Police dispatchers play a critical role in human service work; they screen calls from the public and effectively control access to police intervention and a wide range of other community services. This observational study examined face-to-face interactions between police radio dispatchers (N = 60) and their peers and superiors. Dispatchers were observed throughout an entire work shift; all were observed on at least one occasion, and about half we…
Environmental demand and demand engendering behavior: An observational analysis of the Type A pattern
In a prospective, observational study, we examined Type A behavior as a predictor of source of work demands, volume of work and nonwork activity, whether work begun was finished, and attention to more than one activity at a time. Police radio dispatchers (N = 72) were observed throughout one work shift, and half of the sample was observed on two additional work shifts. Behavioral categories showed substantial stability between observation occasio…

Coping by police officers: A study of role stress and Type A and Type B Behavior Patterns
This research examined the ways police officers appraise and cope with naturally occurring stressful events. We utilized interview and questionnaire instruments to obtain descriptions of the stressful events, how the events were appraised, and the ways in which officers coped. Analyses tested the situational specificity of the Type A behaviour pattern. As hypothesized, Type A officers selected strategies that were more active and narrowly focused…
