Abstract: This paper analyzes the determinants of the perceived stress level of workers with a special focus on the effects of commuting, while controlling for personal and work‐related characteristics. Using ordered logistic regression we find that several dimensions of the commuting situation, such as impedance, control and predictability of commuting, significantly influence the perceived stress level. Therefore, stress and stress‐related health problems should be taken into consideration when analyzing the economic costs of commuting. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
