The findings also revealed that there was no different level of job stress among virtual IT workers across the number of years of virtual work. And finally, the findings revealed that the most significant influences on predicting job satisfaction were the skill underutilization, excessive workload and/or variance workload, and role ambiguity.;The results of this study have provided the basis information to help both organizations and virtual workers to raise awareness and understand the relationships between job satisfaction and job pressures among virtual IT workers.
