However, in order to reduce the Type 1error the alpha level need to be adjusted using Bonferroni adjustment [divide .05 by 3(representing 3 dependent variables giving an alpha level of .017 ), and the resultsuggests that there is no significant differencein the source of stress betweenorganizationally employed and self-employed accountants in Malaysia at original alphavalue of .05, but it is statistically significant at original alpha value of .10. Whereas,Rahim (1996) found that owners of businesses reported a greater number of stressors,such as role overload, than organizationally-employed managers.50
