4134.1 Occupational stress, neuroticism, and psychological well-being among public bus
drivers in Hong Kong, Chi-kin Wong, Chuk-ling Julian Lai, City University of Hong Kong,

This study examined the effects of occupational stress on psychological well-being in 114 public
bus-drivers in Hong Kong. Direct and moderating effects of neuroticism were also tested. Results
showed that respondents having higher levels of stress exhibited higher rates of psychological
distress and sickness absence, and lower life satisfaction. Neuroticism was positively related to
psychological distress and sickness absence but negatively with life satisfaction. Out findings also
indicated that neuroticism moderated the relationship between stress and psychological distress.
An increase in stress was more psychologically impairing in participants having higher
neuroticism scores.

We conducted an empirical study in SOE in China to assess the measurement of job insecurity and
its antecedents/consequences in which 302 employees are investigated. The notion of job
insecurity was based on the theoretical conceptualization of Greenhalgh et al. (1984) and the
multidimensional measure of Ashford, et al (1989). The results show that a partially composite
measure of job insecurity, in which the components of job features and total job change were
combined, did indeed relate to the antecedents/consequences. But subcomponent of powerlessness
tended not to add to the relationships among antecedents and outcomes.

self-efficacy was positively related to job satisfaction in both samples, and it was a significant
