Description: Studies indicate that job stress and stress-related illness are increasing. This edited volume investigates the changing structure of work in our society and presents empirical research studies that examine organizational factors that appear to promote or decrease job stress.

Organizational Risk Factors for Job Stress is divided into three sections covering new developments by which researchers conceptualize risk factors for job stress; emergent stressors in today's workplace, including the pros and cons of electronic performance monitoring and the stressors experienced by those who work in high-risk jobs in the health and helping professions; and ways of improving the methodology in studies of organizational risk factors.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
