A volume in Stress and Quality of Working Life Series Editors Ana
Maria Rossi, International Stress Management Association, James
Campbell (Jim) Quick, The University of Texas at Arlington and
Pamela L. Perrewe, Florida State University This book offers twelve
chapters organized into three major sections that address
occupational stress and quality of working life. The authors are an
internationally renowned team of scholar-research-practitioners who
are grounded in applied science and clinical practice. Section 1
includes five chapters that address the organizational and
individual costs of occupational stress. The costs are humanitarian
and economic; both human suffering and financial burdens are
important. Section 2 includes three chapters that focus on ways to
mitigate the negative effects of occupational stress. We must help
those who are suffering but we must do more by preventing distress
where we can and building on positive, strength factors where
possible. Section 3 includes four chapters that examine and expand
our understanding of work life quality. Work life quality is so
important because of the effects it has on workers and leaders, as
well as the spillover impact into families and communities. These
twelve chapters, highlight both core knowledge and new developments
within the rapidly growing field of research on stress and the
quality of working life. We believe this information can help to
raise awareness of the causes and costs of occupational stress and
poor quality of working life. Further, this should provide a
challenge, some incentive, and renewed insight for organizations in
Brazil and elsewhere to begin thinking about and acting in ways
that lead to a less stressful environment for their workforce.
