This article reviews the recent research into personality predisposition in terms of stress, with particular reference to occupational contexts. We explore the work on type A behaviour, locus of control, the ‘hardy’ personality, extra‐version/neuroticism/psychoticism and tension discharge rate. We attempt to highlight how these findings might be of use in understanding occupational stress.
