Abstract
This study investigates the relationship of workload on stress and its possibly mediating
variables autonomy, self-efficacy and social support during the Covid-19 pandemic. For that
purpose, an online-questionnaire measuring all these variables is distributed to a population
gathered via convenience sampling. The data are analysed with a regression analysis. Results
show a significant effect of workload on stress. There has been found no mediating effect for
social support. The findings for autonomy as a mediating variable were mixed. No significant
effect has been found in the regression analysis, but the correlation matrix shows a significant
negative correlation with stress. For self-efficacy, a significant effect as a mediator variable
has been found as well as a significant negative correlation with stress. The implications of
these results are discussed and proposals for future research is given.
