• Resumen

  • Today we know that health care is not just the sanitary offer but also by individual behaviors, the environment in which we live and work and public policy (Almeida 2005). The employment status of women should be reviewed from the perspective of organizational change, from the perspective of enhancement of human capital (Piccardo, Colombo 2007). The purpose of this research is to compare men and women who work in public administration in southern Italy with regard to their well being at work and work-related stress. The hypothesis is that there is a significant difference between the two groups and that women have a higher state of stress and more psychological and physical symptoms than men. The group of respondents is composed of 104 subjects. The instrument used is a questionnaire with 169 item that investigates the causes and symptoms of physical and psychological stress caused by work-related. The results confirmed the hypothesis.
