Summary:The job strain model predicts the compound effects of self-determination and time pressure demands on job dissatisfaction and work-related emotional strain. This study examines the assumptions of the model. Our sample (n = 7000 persons) is representative of the entire working population of Finland. The segregation of the labour market by sex showed some qualitative differences in job satisfaction and emotional strain, between male and female work. `High strain' jobs for women were those in the shoe and leather, textile and sewing industries. `High strain' jobs for men were those in the metal, construction and machine industries. `Low strain' jobs for both men and women were managerial, administrative medical, and nursing jobs.
