This article reports the results of an exploratory study of perceptions of organizational stress among U.S. military officers stationed in Germany. The sample data were analyzed by item comparisons, factor analysis, and cluster analysis. Work load, work design, job qualifications, performance evaluation, and organization structure were identified as stress precipitators. The cluster analysis yielded three groups of individuals with different stress-frequency patterns. These groups were labeled achievement-centered, organization-centered, and self-actualization-centered. Directions for future research are discussed within the context of an increasing rate of change in military organizations.
