Work Stress and Coping in an Era of Globalization

This book examines the phenomena of work-related stress in an era of globalization in terms of the evolution of economic rationality, the organizational consequences of globalization. The material considers several models of work-stress and coping from a Western perspective, the work-family interface, the over-emphasis of the individual in stress-management, the role of religion and spirituality, cross-cultural and otherwise non-Western approaches to stress-management, employee assistance programs, methodological issues in studying work-stress and coping strategies. In a final chapter the authors, professors of organizational behavior and business, propose future lines of research, new directions in work-stress management, and positive trends in organizational research.
