MERCADO SALGADO, PATRICIA and SALGADO MEJIA, ROBERTO. Occupational Stress in Mexican CIO's of Enterprises: on Organizational Human Development Perspective. estud.gerenc. [online]. 2008, vol.24, n.108, pp.15-36. ISSN 0123-5923.

Descriptive research, no experimental design, with 41 participants. It was used a questionnaire integrated with 111 items using Likert scale. Results. Mexican executives work around 53 hours per week and they do not consider it as a source of pressure. However, they consider personal responsibility, daily hassles, recognition and home/work balance as a cause of it. Evidence shows that Mexican CIO's do not pay attention to organizational climate and do not receive social support as a help to cope work stress.
