Abstract: The present study examines the generalizability of a previously validated model of occupational stress across three different countries: Great Britain, United States, and the Federal Republic of Germany. Data were collected from 464 individuals employed in professional positions in the three countries. The results demonstrate the invariance of the proposed model of stress, where personality and coping strategies were shown to precede and determine the perception of job stressors which, in turn, were shown to have an impact on the well-being of the individual. Implications of the findings for research and practice are outlined in the concluding sections.

Keywords: Occupational stress; model of stress; generalizability; coping strategies; job stressors.
