Artículo publicado en abril de 1994.El estudio estuvo dirigido a evaluar el efecto de la motivación de logro sobre el estrés laboral. Se propuso un modelo según el cual las demandas estresantes pueden ser construidas como situaciones retadoras que exigen el uso y aprovechamiento de los recursos personales con el fin de obtener éxitos y experimentar satisfacción. Los sujetos fueron 62 trabajadores de una planta química. Se planteó un método casual con una variable exógena (motivación de logro) y tres variables endógenas (actitud hacia el trabajo, satisfacción laboral y estrés). Se empleó la técnica estadística del Análisis de pasos. Se hipotetizó y encontró que la motivación de logro tienen un efecto directo sobre el estrés y un efecto indirecto, mediado por la actitud hacia el trabajo y la expresión laboral. Se presentan las ventajas, tanto a nivel personal como empresarial, que ofrece la motivación al logro como variable que influye en el estrés. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos hallazgos para las organizaciones.Summary This study was aimed to assess the effects of Achievement motivation on occupational stress. A model was proposed according to which stressor requirements may be constructed (conceived) as challenging situations, demanding utilization of personal resouces with the purpose of achieving success and experiencing satisfaction. Sixty two workers of a chemical concern were the sample. A causal model with an exogenous variable (Achievement motivation) was proposed and theree endogenous variables (attitude to work, job satisfaction and stress). Step Analysis was used. It was hypothesized and also found that Achievement Motivation has a direct effect on stress and an indirect effect, mediated by attitude to work and job satisfaction. Results gave support to proposed conceptualization. Implications and aplications of these findings are discused.
