Coping with Stress in the Australian Job Network: Gender Differences
Patton, Wendy; Goddard, Richard
Journal of Employment Counseling, v43 n3 p135 Sep 2006
The authors attempted to identify (a) the coping strategies used by employment service case managers in Queensland, Australia, and (b) the strategies that could be beneficial in reducing the relatively high burnout levels that have been observed in this population. Significant gender differences in coping styles were found, and an association between burnout and escape-avoidance behavior was identified for both female and male respondents. (Contains 1 table.)
