levels of stress-related psychosocial hazards.

*Equality of variances not assumed. Therefore non-parametric Mann-Whitney U results reported.
Differences between Tables 15 and 21 would suggest that the experiences of employees have shifted over
the previous 12 months, and that the organisation consists of a dynamic and changeable environment. The major
difference between the two phases is the lack of significance between the groups in Survey 2 for the Demands
factor. It can therefore be stated that, within the outcomes of Phase 2, the experience of Demands had no
significant impact on stress-related outcomes compared with the situation at the time of Phase 1.
