Stress on the job: an executive update

Article Abstract:

Job stress cases are increasing in the 1990s as indicated by increases in work compensation and insurance claims. Primary sources of job stress are downsizing, workforce diversity, technological changes, work and domestic conflict, and workplace environment. Workers who felt that they were severely affected by job stress filed for worker compensations claims for the recovery of compensatory damages. Business organizations can lessen or prevent the occurrence of job stress through proper employee training, employee assistance programs and programs addressing work and domestic conflict.
