    Stress, wellness and subordinate service roles in female cabin attendants
    (1989) Tilley, Gail; Strümpfer, D J W
    Stressful aspects of work and non-work life were investigated amongst 101 female cabin attendants (CAs) who had worked at the South African Airways on either internal or external crew for a minimum of three years. A particular focus was on the subordinate service role of CAs. The research design consisted of different complementary phases. Firstly, extensive interviews were conducted with supervisors and co-ordinators, in order to gain background information on the organization and on the work of a CA. Secondly, semi-structured interviews of about 30 to 60 minutes duration were conducted with CAs while they were on stand-by duty. Thirdly, after the interview each one was asked to complete a self-report questionnaire which contained scales, to be returned at a later stage.
