This study examines the relationship between job satisfaction, occupational stress, and management style in a large German MNC operating in the air
-transportation industry. We find, using pretested questionnaires, that the middle level management of the studied MNC faces low levels of stress, stress is inversely related to job satisfaction, and that employees working under
authoritarian managers report relatively higher levels of stress than employees working under more collaborative managers. This study offers a protocol for using simple-to-administer questionnaires to develop a stress profile for a firm, which helps HR management to (i) identify and then to (ii) develop strategies for reacting to possible sources of stress.
