Bakgrund: Graden av självrapporterad stress bland tonåringar i Sverige är hög. 30 % av flickorna i årskurs 4-9 och 23 % av jämnåriga pojkar upplever att de är stressade. I årskurs 2 i gymnasiet anger nästan 40 % av flickorna att de är stressade och 20 % av pojkarna. Den största anledningen är prestationskrav i relation till skolan och hemuppgifter. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka eventuella skillnader mellan flickor och pojkars upplevda stress i åldrarna 13-19 år i Sverige, Danmark och Norge. Metod: Studien utfördes genom en litteraturstudie där artiklar sökts i databaserna PubMed, PsycINFO, Sociological abstracts, Social Services Abstracts och Medline.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka (1) relationen mellan chefers upplevda stress och kontroll och medarbetares arbetstillfredsställelse med chefen, (2) relationen mellan chefers upplevda stress och kontroll samt, (3) medarbetares arbetstillfredsställelse med chefen relaterat till angivna demografiska parametrar. 25 chefer besvarade en webbenkät om arbetsrelaterad stress och kontroll och 206 av deras medarbetare besvarade en webbenkät om arbetstillfredsställelse med sin chef. Resultaten visade ett samband mellan medarbetarnas arbetstillfredsställelse med chefen och chefens yrkesroll (delmått i stressinstrumentet) samt att medarbetarnas arbetstillfredsställelse påverkades av deras anställningstid och utbildningsnivå. Vidare visade resultaten att cheferna upplevde en högre grad av arbetsrelaterad stress än kontroll. Dessa resultat indikerar att chefer med en tydligt definierad yrkesroll har mer arbetstillfredställda medarbetare samt, och i linje med tidigare forskning, att medarbetarnas anställningstid och utbildningsnivå har betydelse för arbetstillfredsställelsen med chefen. .
