| Abstract [eng] |
The problems of the interrelations between work stress and orientations of managerial leadership were defined in this Master’s thesis. Furthermore, there were examined and systematized theoretical and practical investigations of various Lithuanian and foreign authors. For the empirical research to be done, two already worked-out and tested in Lithuanian organizations instruments were used: A Test of Work Stress (132 features surveyed) created according to Osipow, Spokane (1987) and A Test of Managerial Leadership (108 features were surveyed). These instruments were translated and adjusted to Lithuania after the test of Swedish Ekvall ir Arvonen (1987), Lindell and Rosenqvist (1992). The results of the empirical research has showed that work stress is closely related to orientations of manager‘s leadership style. Author’s hypothesis concerning managers‘ estimation to be higher than the rest of the stuff and that managerial leadership influences the level of work stress experienced by the stuff, was partially proven. |
