Summary

Written for work psychologists and psychologists-in-training, WORK STRESS critically reviews the literature across the broad domain of work stress in a fairly non-technical manner, while retaining scientific integrity.Because of rapid changes in work environments from technological advances and a myriad of economic, social and other factors, this ongoing transformation of work stress creates a "moving target" for this subject. A conceptual model introduced in chapter one serves as an organizing framework for the book and as a way to integrate a variety of research streams within a unified "conceptual umbrella." Instead of approaching work stress as a problem, the authors use their experience as active psychologists to help you understand work stress as a process, and to help you cope with stress in the modern workplace.
