Abstract:
Using a sample of 184 medical technologists (MTs) over a three-year period, this study found support for the hypothesis that downsizing leads to higher job loss insecurity and task load perceptions, which both lead to increased work exhaustion. As such this study extends previous research on MT work exhaustion by Blau, Tatum and Ward-Cook. Study limitations and future research issues are briefly discussed.

Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
Purposes
