Abstract
The relationship between scores on locus of control, occupational stre ss, and stress symptoms was examined in 189 Hong Kong Chinese professi onals. Scores on locus of control were associated with occupational st ress and psychological stress symptoms but were unrelated to reporting of physical symptoms. While both sexes reported similar occupational stress, women scored as more External and reported more of both types of symptoms. The implications of the results were discussed.
