Long (1990) and Billings & Moos (1981); the model is used to test what are the choices of occupational stress-coping strategies for local Chinese managers and what are the determinants to the choice of coping strategies. Questionnaires were completed by 87 managers from different industries. Regression analyses provide support to certain empirical support for some correlation between stress coping styles and the independent variables such as: demographic variables, occupational environment, and stressor episodes.
