Perceived Overqualification and Psychological Well-Being

Perceived Overqualification and Psychological Well-Being Abstract The relationship between perceived overqualification and psychological well-being was explored within the framework of stress-illness models, using multiple regression analysis. Data were collected from 179 male and 109 female members of a local midwestern chapter of the American Postal Workers Union. As expected, there was a significant, positive relationship between perceived overqualification and psychological well-being: The greater the perceived overqualification, the greater the psychological distress. The interaction between perceived overqualification and gender was not significant. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Social Psychology Taylor & Francis
