In a study of 14 managers and 25 workers who were referred for psychiatric treatment, the majority suffered from depressive illness (60%) or anxiety neurosis (28%). The main work problem of the managers was conflict with the employers (or directors), but for the workers the main problem was difficulty with fellow workers. The patients' scores on the Work Environment Scale (WES) indicated that the managers felt they had little supervisor support and work pressure was great. However the workers complained of poor peer cohesion but could get on well with the employers, and their work was not too taxing.
