A multidisciplinary effort to determine the extent to which psychosocial factors peculiar to different occupational environments can influence the health of workers and managers. Wide-ranging in its approach, the book uses a diversity of research findings and conceptual models to explore the links between specific forms of occupational stress and the physical and mental well-being of employees. Attention is also given to the impact that work-related stress can have on performance levels, rates of absenteeism, alcohol abuse, employee turnover and accidents on the job.
