Abstract
The purpose of this research is to identify stressors related to business traveling. Business travel stress embraces situational, emotional, and physical conditions that restrain personal needs and work expectations. The findings from this study recognize six factors of travel stress: travel arrangements, hotel/airline preferences, travel inconvenience, difficulty maintaining a healthy lifestyle, destination concerns, and work/personal life. This study investigates how personal stress, work stress, and health behavior influence business travelers differently in terms of various travel stressors.
