abstract="Professional drivers are considered prone to health risks. For this reason we have conducted a predictive study to analyze variables that may be predictors of stress in driving. Participating in this study were 372 drivers (93.4% men, 6.6% women) recruited through non-probabilistic sampling. The aim of the study is to develop a prediction model for Job Stress in professional drivers using the following indicators: Personality, Impulsiveness, Hardy personality, Job, Age, Seat comfort, Seat suspension, Lumbar support, and Driving Hours. We found that the variables with predictive power over driving stress were: Commitment over Relaxed driving (ΔR<sup>2 </sup>= .101; β=.135), Danger prevention (ΔR<sup>2 </sup>= .139; β=.342) and Fatigue & anxiety (ΔR<sup>2 </sup>= .063; β= -.227); Control over Alertness & Vigilance (ΔR<sup>2 </sup>= .069; β=.278); and Agreeableness over Sensation-seeking (ΔR<sup>2 </sup>= .047; β= -.268). In conclusion, driver stress can be predicted by certain variables. This study contributes to a better understanding of driver stress and promotes safety at the wheel, thus helping to prevent traffic accidents.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
