Abstract
Present study reciewed the Stress-Coping Model proposed by Lazarus and Folkman（1984）and three job stress models (Person-Environment Fit Theory, Demand-Control Model and Effort-Reward Imbalance Model), and developed an integrated model to understand the stress experience of workers more thoroughly.
Present study adopted case study research method, and performed focus interviews to collect indepth data of the job stressors from 10 personnels in high-technology industry. Following the principle of content analysis, we examined if the integrated model could conceptilize those job stressors. Furthermore, we analyzed the continuity and impact of range of those job stressors by Wheaton’s stressor theory, and also classified the job stressors into different need content categories.
According to the analysis of indepth data, the integrated model could manifest many features of the job stressors, including the misfit type, the continuity, and the source of the job stressors. Besides, we could infer the source of difference of job stressor by comparing the data from different organizations, departments or gender.
