Análise do nível de estresse do profissional de Contabilidade

Abstract

This article aims to identify the degree and symptoms of stress that occur in accounting professionals, relating them with individual and professional factors. In reviewing the literature we attempted to discuss the concepts of stress, its phases and symptoms. We used the stress model developed by Lipp (2003), performing the descriptive and statistical analysis using Microsoft Excel and SPSS. The results were: 50% of the professionals have no stress; 35% are in the resistance phase; and 13% are in exhaustion. In short, the stress of accountants is similar and approaches the presented in the literature; the predominant symptoms were the physical ones.
