To the individual whose health or happiness has been ravaged by an
inability to cope with the effects of job-related stress, the costs
involved are clear. But what price do organizations and nations pay
for a poor fit between people and their work environments? Only
recently has stress been seen as a contributory factor to the
productivity and health costs of companies and countries but as
studies of stress-related illnesses and deaths show, stress imposes a
high cost on individual health and well-being as well as
organizational productivity. This book examines stress in
organizational contexts. The authors review the sources and outcomes
of job-related stress, the methods used to assess levels and
consequences of occupational stress, along with the strategies that
might be used by individuals and organizations to confront stress and
its associated problems. One chapter is devoted to examining an
extreme form of occupational stress – burnout, which has been found
to have severe consequences for individuals and their organizations.
The book closes with a discussion of scenarios for jobs and work in
the new millennium, and the potential sources of stress that these
scenarios may generate The book is a comprehensive, thought-provoking
resource for Ph.D. students, academics, and other professionals
working to minimize or eliminate the sources of stress in the
workplace.
