Occupational stress as challenge and pressure: Its relationship with personality traits
Generally, psychology has focused on pathological stress (Siegel & Schrimshaw, 2000; Peiro, 2008). However, positive psychology emphasizes emotions, attitudes and actions aimed at obtaining happiness and positive workplaces (Simmons & Nelson, 2007). Nevertheless, both perspectives do...

However, positive psychology emphasizes emotions, attitudes and actions aimed at obtaining happiness and positive workplaces (Simmons & Nelson, 2007). Nevertheless, both perspectives do not oppose each other since –as it has been shown- positive emotions may coexist with negative ones during stressing and adverse circumstances. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between appraisal/perception as pressure or challenge stressors and personality traits: optimism, resilience and locus of control. One hundred and seventeen high school and college teachers at Merida, Yucatan, Mexico participated in the study. The findings showed that optimism correlates positively with personal responsibility perceived as challenge, and negatively with workload and balance work/home; resilience correlated positively with relationships at job and locus of control correlated negatively with relationships at job and balance work/home. Findings, contributions and limitations are discussed. Generalmente, la psicología se ha centrado en lo patológico del estrés (Siegel & Schrimshaw, 2000; Peiró, 2008). Sin embargo, desde la psicología positiva se enfatizan las emociones, actitudes y acciones orientadas al bienestar y a la obtención de lugares de trabajo positivos (Simmons & Nelson, 2007). No obstante, ambas perspectivas no son excluyentes, ya que se ha puesto de manifiesto que las emociones positivas pueden coexistir con las negativas durante circunstancias estresantes y adversas. El objetivo del presente estudio fue analizar las relaciones existentes entre la valoración/percepción como presión o como reto de los potenciales estresores y características de personalidad: el optimismo, la resiliencia y el locus de control. Participaron 117 profesores de nivel medio superior y superior de Mérida, Yucatán, México. Los resultados muestran que el optimismo correlaciona positivamente con la dimensión responsabilidad personal percibida como reto y negativamente con las dimensiones carga de trabajo y balance casa/trabajo percibidas como presión. La resiliencia correlaciona positivamente con la dimensión relaciones en el trabajo, percibida como reto, y el locus de control correlaciona negativamente con las dimensiones relaciones en el trabajo y balance casa/trabajo percibidas como presión. Se discuten los resultados, aportaciones y limitaciones.

Generally, psychology has focused on pathological stress (Siegel & Schrimshaw, 2000; Peiro, 2008).

Nevertheless, both perspectives do not oppose each other since –as it has been shown- positive emotions may coexist with negative ones during stressing and adverse circumstances. The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between appraisal/perception as pressure or challenge stressors and personality traits: optimism, resilience and locus of control.
