A person-environment analysis of job stress: a contingency model explanation.

The contingency model of leadership was applied in a field study of job stress. Fifty-one university administrators completed a series of questionnaires that assessed their leadership style, degree of situational control within their work setting, perceived job stress, physical health, and psychological well-being. Multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) showed that administrators whose leadership style and level of situational control were "in match" reported significantly less job stress, fewer health problems, and fewer days missed from work than administrators who were "out of match." The results are discussed as supporting the person-environment fit model of job stress.

[Serum levels of immunoglobulins and C 3 component of complement in persons occupationally exposed to chlorinated pesticides].

Serum concentrations of IgA, M, G and C-3 complement have been compared between 51 men occupationally exposed to chlorinated pesticides and 28 men of the control group. IgG has been found to be statistically significantly increased, whereas the concentration of IgM and C-3 complement--lower in the whole test group, as compared to the control group. These protein changes have been particularly strongly marked in the subgroup exposed to polycyclic chlorinated hydrocarbons. In the authors' opinion, the elevated IgG concentration in the occupationally exposed subgroup may result from immunostimulating effects of chlorinated pesticides, thus the decreased C-3 component of the complement in the serum in the test groups seems to be indicative of immune-complexes contribution to the pathogenesis of diseases resulting from the occupational exposure concerned. Furthermore, the authors suggest that the cyclic conformation of chlorinated pesticides may affect the pathomechanism of those diseases.

The effect of mechanical vibration and industrial noise on the behaviour of blood serum immunoglobulins and on the lymphocyte blastic transformation.

The investigations have been undertaken to determine the effect of mechanical vibration on the behaviour of blood serum immunoglobulins and on the lymphocyte blastic transformation. The concentrations of IgA, IgG, IgM have been determined with 174 workers of metallurgical plants who were exposed to both vibration and noise, and with 50 workers exposed to noise only. The lymphocyte blastic transformation has been determined with 70 workers exposed to both vibration and noise. The investigations revealed that mechanical vibrations cause the concentration of IgA and IgG to increase, and that of IgM - to decrease; they also stimulate the lymphocyte blastic transformation. The noise itself causes the level of the examined immunoglobulins to lower.
