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. Annotation 穢2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
