This study surveyed accountants working in a variety of organizations other than professional accounting organizations. Future research could look at this relationship in more detail given than the level of professional identification with accounting is likely to be higher for accountants in accounting firms rather than as one member of a management team. In addition, the finding, that job stress appears to be unaffected by the other variables studied here, suggests that research that investigates whether or no stress is too individual a variable to respond the organizational strategies is worth further consideration since this finding could demonstrate the relative value of group or individual approaches to reducing stress.
