The purpose of this study is to research main causes of occupational stress in professional accountants and relationship with their consequences. Role ambiguity, role conflict, role overload and career progress concerns as source of occupational stress and job-related stress, turnover intentions and job satisfaction as consequences of occupational stress are discussed. Likert scales questionnaire applied to 319 professional accountants registered in Manisa Chamber of Certified Public Accountants from total of 422 professional accountants. Role conflict, role overload and career progress concerns have significant relationship with job-related stress but there isn’t any correlation between role ambiguity and job-related stress. Both qualitative work overload and role conflict have explanatory power for job-related stress and also role conflict, role ambiguity and career development concerns have explanatory power for job satisfaction in stepwise regressions.
