Beschreibung:
A historical account of workplace stress and what the research in the field of occupational stress tells us about the changing nature of work and what individuals and organizations can do about it to create more liveable environments.
With an emphasis on the growing influence of globalization, the book explores the forces of change within contemporary societies and assesses how they have fundamentally changed the nature of work and the direction of research into stress and coping.
Capturing the history, context, critique and transformation of theory into practice, the authors offer an insight into how managers and businesses have failed, the effects this has had on how work is experienced, the evolution and relevance of existing theories and suggest alternative methods and future directions.
Suitable reading for students of HRM, Organisational Behaviour and Occupational Psychology.
