Description: In Stress and Job Performance, author Steve M. Jex provides a comprehensive, research-based examination of the relationship between occupational stress and job performance. He presents a concise overview of the field, a clear explanation of terms and concepts, and a summary of relevant theoretical models of the stress process. He examines the relationship between major job-related stressors (such as workload, interpersonal conflict, and lack of control) and a variety of performance indexes.

In addition, he explores a number of other factors that may affect the relationship between occupational stress and job performance, including gender differences, age, personality, and job experience. The book concludes with a look at issues that need to be considered in future research investigations.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (p. 107-120) and index.
