TANURE, Betania; NETO, Antonio Carvalho; SANTOS, Carolina Maria Mota    PATRUS, Roberto. Stress, a Disease Related to Time: a study about Brazilian top managers schedules. []. , 14, 1, pp.65-88. ISSN 1808-4281.

The aim of this article is to verify the perception of Brazilian executives about the relation between time and stress. The research that conjugated quantitative and qualitative data shows that stress is directly related with time schedule. There is significant statistical difference as to the satisfaction level at work among people that work from 8 to 9 hours daily and those who work 12 hours or more. In this last case the stress symptoms are larger. Top executives approach time as something autonomous, abstract, independent, associating time to the mechanical conception of nature. Not by chance, stress was already characterized as a disease of time.
