摘要：The objectives of this study were to assess the occupational stressors of engineers in South Africa as well as the relationships between occupational stress, organisational commitment, and physical and psychological ill-health. A cross-sectional survey design was used. The sample consisted of(N = 369) engineers in South Africa. The ASSET questionnaire was administered. Compared to normative data, participants reported lower levels of physical ill-health but higher psychological outcomes of stress. The most important stressors identified were work-life balance and work overload. Three occupational stressors, namely work overload, work-life balance and control, were the best predictors of physical and psychological ill-health. Occupational stressors and low organisational commitment explained 18% and 24% respectively of the variance in physical and psychological ill-health.
