Despite cautions against using a global measure of Type A behavior pattern (TABP), few studies have examined the TABP components of Achievement Striving (AS) and Impatience/Irritability (II). The authors examined these 2 components to assess whether they moderated the relationships between job stressors and psychosocial outcomes. Results based on 106 employees from a large Canadian organization supported the independence of the 2 TABP components. After controlling for the job stressors (i.e., overload, ambiguity, intrarole conflict, and lack of job control), II and AS accounted for additional variance in job satisfaction, perceived stress, and life satisfaction, although these components were uniquely related to different outcomes. Finally, AS and II moderated several of the stressor-psychosocial outcome relationships.

Purpose Of Review: Burnout is a context-dependent, global issue among physicians in the medical field who often face job-related stressors, high workloads, and limited or lack of social support or autonomy. Within medicine, neurology is a specialty with high levels of burnout and low levels of work-life satisfaction. We, therefore, conducted this study to evaluate burnout rates among neurologists globally and identify the tools used to evaluate it.
