Men worry more about their work-life balance than their female counterparts.

Lucy Watt, Business Psychologist from Robertson Cooper Limited, will present her and her colleagues research paper - Workplace Stress: Does Gender Matter? - today, Friday 11 January 2008, at the Annual Conference of the Division of Occupational Psychology of the British Psychological Society at the Stratford-Upon-Avon Holiday Inn.

The study based on a sample of 40,000 workers reveals that men are more troubled by a host of other things that cause stress in the workplace than their female counterparts - including the needing to feel in control and having too much work to do.

These findings are contrary to previous research into the topic, which found no gender-based differences within the issue of work-life balance.
Professor Cary Cooper, Director of Robertson Cooper, said: "If, as our findings suggest, there are gender differences in the experience of stress then organisations would benefit from taking this into account when designing stress prevention and reduction initiatives."
