This book examines the impact of foreign worker §status on workplace stress. Over§the last few years, a considerable amount of public §concern and empirical research has been§devoted to the issue of job-related stress, both §within the United States and globally. Foreign§employees with temporary visas are subject to §considerable uncertainty about the length and§conditions of their stay in the host country, which §is likely to contribute to stress. A model§is proposed to represent the workplace experience of §foreign employees in comparison to§that of permanent residents and U.S. citizens. It is §hypothesized that the effect of foreign§status on stress is mediated by six factors: §residential insecurity, job insecurity, local network§ties, level of empowerment, role ambiguity and §perceived discrimination. Stress, in turn,§reduces job satisfaction, increases negative §feelings, and produces physical illness§symptoms. It is also proposed that foreign status §intensifies these relationships, and that§collectivist values make foreign employees more §subject to stress.
