Overall, the results, found little support for the hypotheses related to job stress. At least for accountants, rather surprisingly, it appears that stress and organizational communication are independent variables that do not impact each other. This finding appears to contradict that of Stamper and Johlke (2003) who found that issues related to organizational communication could be used to reduce stress. It is unclear whether these hypotheses were not supported because of issues related to levels of stress in the specific occupation studied here or whether stress is an individual variable that is not easily impacted by organizational strategies designed to reduce stress.
